I had amazing solo dining experience eating at the bar at 112 Eatery. That's another great option for solo dining - hit the bar. mgroveland: I agree!

I think that the service staff get that you're really there for the food and can be fun dinner companions even if they can't actually sit down and share your meal.

I used to do it about once/week and now my budget means only 1/month. I'm a people-watcher and an eavesdropper (only with strangers!) so dining out is a fun way to indulge in these bad traits!

Get over it people. Lots of things in life are just fine done solo, some are even better that way. Don't talk on the cell, don't stick your nose in a book. Sit and enjoy the view, the people around you, and the food. If people wonder why you're alone, who cares? You can't live your life according to what other people think or expect of you. Put on your best smile, your best attitude, and go out and experience the world. If you smile, others will smile back! An only-child who learned that going solo is great a long time ago! Good god!

I just ate out alone last night and was seated at an oddly placed table that only faced outside. I wouldn't normally feel so isolated, but it felt like a dunce table. As well, the server could not have been more awkward. You win some; you lose some. Galamaria – Great point about the server understanding that you’re comfortable when eating alone.

Fisher had no second thoughts about eating alone, and neither do I - please! I find it extremely comfortable, and once your server understands that you're comfortable, there's nothing in the way of your fantastic evening, eating what you like as long as you like. Cheers!

If I'd had a book, I would've read it, but I didn't. So I just sat there placidly eating my delicious pizza, then I left. It was just fine. I just dined alone last night at Punch.

For some reason, I can't tune out their voice, even though everybody else around me is talking, too. That is so awkward when a person dining near you is on their cell phone.

All I had to accompany me was a great cup of coffee, an awesome frittata, a good book and Mr. Bob Marley on the system. It was late morning so their rush was over, but there were still a good number of folks there. Stayed for about and hour and a quarter and was unexpectedly comfortable.
