I notice in some places (usually when I travel), I get met with a minor attitude when I am seated solo at a table. Usually it's from a server who is annoyed thinking they just got shortchanged a second person at a 2-top and thus extra tip money.

I do try to circumvent this in unfamiliar places by either a) using OpenTable to search for restaurants accepting reservations for 1 vs 2 or b) Letting the hostess know I am willing to sit in the bar area provided it's nonsmoking and offers full menu service. I usually have my Kindle or iPad with me and often use that time to catch up on social media, magazine reading, or light emails.
