I'm totally into solo dining as I am well-capable of taking myself on a date. Here are some of my favorite spots to enjoy a meal alone.

Did you know that on Wednesdays, Bang Bang Shrimp is ½ price? It's my favorite simple treat for myself.
Bonefish Grill
This place has a nice vibe, not too big, and set on a golf course. Small tables make it perfect for a solo date.
NEST Kitchen & Taphouse
Visited 7 Bistro a few days ago and the food was CHEF'S KISS!!! It totally gives the vibe of a hang out with the girls, but a quiet corner is not hard to find here.
Seven Bistro
Now I wouldn't actually sit down and eat here, but I would grab a to-go plate in a minute! They have an extensive menu that even includes lamb chops!
Peruvian Charcoal chicken & wings{ Open 24/7 }
When the craving is for fried chicken, believe it or not, this one hits! Just skip the sides though, unless you're getting potato wedges, but they have to be hot!
Royal Farms
Now this one is a food truck, but I promise you, their Connecticut Lobster Rolls are AMAZING!!! You have to try it at least once.
Lobstah King’s
A tiny little bistro just off Warwick and Main that's easy to overlook, but serves up big flavor.
Kismet Bistro
It's a bit of a drive, but always worth it to me. This is one of the most flavorful places I've eaten, and the music adds to the vibe of the decor.
Nando's PERi-PERi
This is a small quiet place with a bit of Italian romance, yet still perfect for one. The food is authentic, and the staff is nice.
Vineyards Trattoria & Pizzeria
I'll let the photos tell the story on this one, but on Tuesdays, they have an awesome Mix or Match special on Calzones or Strombolis. Don't go to early though, because they open at 4pm.
Cork & Crust - Newport News, VA - 12715 Warwick Blvd C - Hours, Menu, Order
It's small and intimate, and you may need a reservation. Such a quaint little place to enjoy a good meal.
Circa 1918 Kitchen + Bar - Historic Hilton Village, Newport News, VA
The Cove is quite cozy, but lively on hot summer nights and cool spring and fall evenings, sometimes featuring a live band! And the food is good too!
Cove Tavern - Oyster Point, Newport News, VA
This small spot goes HARD on flavor with interesting menu choices and a great atmosphere. It's in City Center and could easily be overlooked, but DON'T!
Sate: A New American Experience - City Center at Oyster Point, Newport News, VA
If your tastebuds are earning for something from the Middle East, check out Saffron. And don't skip the Persian tea.
Saffron - Mediterainean
The Baker's Wife leans to French cusine, and doesn't open until 5pm so you definitely need to think dinner on this one. The ambiance is romantic, but that doesn't stop my solo date vibe.
