- darth_avocado 1y agoYou can’t eat out alone everywhere
- chrisweekly 1y ago"Table for one" is nearly always accommodated. Bringing a family of 4 or 5 out, and you're much more likely to be denied, or to suffer a long wait.
- ghaff 1y agoAnd, in fact, if there's a bar where they serve food that makes it even easier.

- ghaff 1y agoI mean, you almost always can? During COVID, there was a certain degree of reservations required--min 2 people. But it's pretty darned rare. And I say this as someone who has eaten out solo many hundreds of times. (And tend to eat at fairly decent restaurants.)
- AlotOfReading 1y agoThis is extremely uncommon in my experience, to the point where I've really only heard of it happening secondhand. I've seen people eating alone everywhere from fast food to Michelin star restaurants and done it myself many times. Where have you seen it?
- brandall10 1y agoNicer restaurants often won't accept reservations for solo diners, leaving them to come at off-hours or eat at the bar. Obviously that's a pure economic thing you can't get mad at as tables are designed for 2+ and you're trying to get in during a high traffic time.
