Funny thing is I just asked my husband this same question yesterday when we were eating out. the waiter said I will bring your check but it was a bill. I guess it just sounds nicer saying it that way than I will bring your bill.:)

Thats just a fancy name for the bill. If you are eating in a diner they will give you your bill. If its in a fancy restaurant they will give you your cheque.

Asking for a check seems for proper for restaurants than saying here is your bill ... bill reminds me of utilities, car payments, etc ...
