DON'T GIVE UP VALKYRIE! You can still go out to eat! Just because this one did not work out does not mean that there are not other dining establishments that would be great for you!

Valkyrie, I am so sorry. I don't want to sound mean, but you should know that restaurants aren't for everyone. You can have a complete life without dining out. Some people find cooking very satisfying. Plus you can always order take out.

Valkyrie, don't listen to Peaches-n-Cream. Everyone can find their dinner in a restaurant! Just keep your head up and keep going to every restaurant there is, even if they don't have any reservations available! You should try to talk to people who are already dining and see if you can eat with them. Don't give up!

You should bother the maitre'd and sommelier a lot too. Also, annoy people who have already eaten at the restaraunt non-stop, and remember, when you finally do get to eat the delicious nachos, YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT THEM THAN ANYONE ELSE.

Be sure to wear t-shirts with their name on it, too - they like that! Bumper stickers are good, too!

Gosh you guys I am really torn!
I was born the daughter of a sharecropper in rural Alabama. We didn't have indoor plumbing or schools, so I was tutored at home by a kindly older woman from down the street when I wasn't churning butter or darning socks. When I was 16, a new family moved in the house next door and after my family was done ridiculing them for their impolite ways, I made my first friend! It was a glorious experience to finally have a girlfriend to hang out with and discuss my secrets and hopes for a future filled with love, friendship and family. We spent many nights together talking about poetry and love and then one day she mentioned the restaurants. Oh, the restaurants. I had never heard of such a glorious thing -- a place where people from all walks of life come together to EAT! It sounded like such magic! Of course my humble family could not afford such indulgences but one day I did go into town and peer in the windows of various dining establishments. I tried to go into a few but when the staff saw my dirty shoes and mismatched plaid outfits sewn by my dear mother, they refused to allow me to enter. I won't let that stop me in my quest, though, dear friends. I will continue my quest! I am confident that somewhere in this world, there is a restaurant for me!

Exactly what I think! Valkyrie, don't give up. Any restaurant would be LUCKY to have you eat there.

May I assume that this is a put-on? With all of the very nice places to dine which can be found all over the map its hardly the undertaking of a lifetime to find a good first class restaurant? I have to think you are a reasonably sophisticated woman who is no stranger to places where white tablecloths, good flatware, wine glasses, etc are the norm and this is just a bit of humor. If one were anticipating a great meal at a fine restaurant and were informed by the Maitre'd that there would be a slight delay in seating you I must assume that you would simply say, "Very well, Ill wait in your anteroom/or lounge and please send someone with a Kir", or whatever I felt like, while waiting for my table. Half an hour is hardly unusual for a busy restaurant.
Were you dining alone or with friends? If alone or with a date a large party would not likely cause a delay in seating a single/couple customer. If with a party of several, a delay would not be unexpected. If an exceptionally long delay took place the house would most likely apologize and send over complimentary drinks and hors d'oeuvre. So, this is a put-on, isn't it?

Don't be intimidated by any of the four and five-star rated restaurants, either. They may be a bit pricey, but I guarantee they're worth the wait.
