very much enjoyed stumbling on this, recently found myself in Charleston and took myself to Leon's Oyster Shop where I too was between two couples. Martinis, oysters, fried chicken, black eyed pea salad, scallop potatoes, and hush puppies - probably the most I've ever spent on myself eating out, absolutely worth it.

Thank you! I appreciate it.

Oh man that sounds like an awesome spread and I'm sure very much deserved!

I’ve been wondering about that restaurant. Interesting that you were able to get in.

There’s always a seat at the bar 😉

Very interesting psychology behind eating alone in a restaurant- I wouldn’t have thought people would notice and wonder about you. The idea of resisting checking your phone is a great one that our whole damn society should follow any time they eat! That was a funny line about “ feeling a phantom buzz in your pocket” and being tempted to check it out. Have fun in England!
