I wouldn't go to a fancy restaurant I would go to a place where people go sometimes to do work or read like Panera Bread, Au Bon Pain, or any cafe place.
The more you go the less awkward it feels.
I travel for work a lot. I want to experience the city, so I eat in restaurants along a lot.
It was weird for awhile. Sometimes I bring a magazine / book, sometimes not.
But now it's not a big deal at all.
but its fine if you bring a book or an electronic .
then it seems as if you are a busy person
who is just taking some time for themselves ,
to eat fancy .
Definitely ok. Be confident and self assured about it. Sitting at the bar makes it less akward and less boring. Most restaurants offer full menu for dining at the bar.

I agree, eating alone in a restaurant is really ok. I am sure that most of the restaurants assure you that even though you are eating alone, they will make your self feel happy to the food that they serve.
