    This year for my birthday, I decided to do something different and treat myself to a solo dinner. The experience was rather peculiar, to say the least. Upon entering the restaurant, I felt several eyes turn my way, as if dining alone was somehow unusual. While the restaurant's ambiance was pleasant, the discomfort of feeling watched diminished the overall atmosphere. The food was mediocre, nothing particularly memorable or exceptional compared to other places I've visited. The service was similarly average. I had to wait quite a while before servers noticed I was ready to order or needed assistance. The most disappointing aspect was the relatively high price compared to the overall experience received. It's unlikely I'll return anytime soon.
