A friend just clued me into this site when I mentioned what a shame it was that there was no Zagat's for 30-A. It's been wonderful to find so much good advise. There is one feature of the Zagat's that is missing...the Dining Alone list. Always a godsend for business trips, I have used it everywhere and never minded eating out by myself. I am here for a few months and have made a few attempts to go out and it has been so uncomfortable. When I asked for a table for one, one hostess repeated loudly, "You're by yourself? No one else is coming?"
Any suggestions? Maybe a place where it's possible to eat at the bar?

Crazy.:welcome: :welcome: Scenethief and :clap_1: :clap_1: I have been known to eat in a resturant alone, and read a book or magazine... as far as I am concerned...I am my own best company....😀
That being said, when I eat alone, I have no problem bringing something to read. It just depends on the time and place.
If you have not tried Vintij in Mirimar Beach, you should. It is in the strip center with McCallisters and Alltel. Before I went in, I thought this can't be that good being in the strip center. But what a pleasant surprise. Outstanding apps, great entrees, and the wines are top notch.
And I ate at the bar, by myself. 😀

There are a lot of solo diners there, and I've never seen one with a book. If you're at a table, people-watching is too much funn. And if you're at the bar, there is always someone who wants to engage in conversation.
Houston's is also one of my favorite places to dine with those I love -- much better than solo.
I *will* be there this weekend.
