I've been doing this for years and sometimes get odd stares. It doesn't really bother me, I actually think its kinda funny. I have a job where its noisy all day and my house is usually loud too...so about once a week I choose a restaurant and dine alone. I either read, check emails on my phone or sometimes just relax with nothing. I've told people I do this sometimes and they're like "Alone?! Don't you get bored? Isn't it strange?" I just say I like my own time and its relaxing. Why are so many people weirded out by it? Does anyone else do this?
