SoloDining.com maintains a list of "the rest" — restaurants that are horrified at thought of attracting solo diners; restaurants that "get suspicious when someone comes in alone," etc. and of course, all the misbehaving restaurants YOU have reported on to us throughout the years. (Good news — this list is far smaller than you might imagine!) Unlike restaurant critics, SoloDining.com "almost always" never airs a restaurant's dirty laundry in public. We decided a long time ago to write about the many good things that specific restaurants do for solo diners, rather than the bad. Believing that "sugar" goes a lot further than "sour," we "reward" solo friendly-restaurants by writing about them/giving them media exposure. There is, however, an exception to our "write good stuff" rule — as some of you know.. Unlike Bill Schell (click: textbook complaint), some SoloDining.com subscribers are uncomfortable complaining to restaurants. We provide a service for such individuals. We will write to the offending restaurant; we will complain on their behalf. When we write, we give a restaurant the bad news: we let them know it has joined SoloDining.com's black list! AND we give them the good news: it's easy to get off this list! All they need do is institute a solo dining amenity. And as soon as they do (and they let us know about it!), SoloDining.com will write about their "newly" solo diner-friendly restaurant. Isn't that a "sweet" incentive? Return to Top Planning a trip?
