So I tried DBGB this weekend. Still in “previews” but without question ready for primetime. HOWEVER…. MAJOR “single boo boo”… at the bar, they decided to purchase “bar benches for two”. Very cozy if you are with someone… very weird if you are by yourself. Really… they couldn’t spring for some “single seats”?? If I sat at one of the bar benches for two… and someone chose to sit next to me…. PROBLEMO! Way too close for someone I don’t know. I am now dependent on someone else if I want to move my “bar bench for two”. And if this person becomes a problem… I’m screwed. So… DBGB… GREAT food. GREAT wine/beer list…. but an “Unfriendly” rating…..

Just stumbled across your blog, great idea! Here’s a nuance for you, not all single diners are treated equally! I went to DBGB for lunch alone during restaurant week, figured that would be the least traumatic time to do so. And a 60-something man was seated alone at the next table…he got about 5 times more attention than I did (30-something female)…grrrr….
