I generally agree.I generally disagree.
There’s not a delicate way to ask this. Sorry.
A lot of the places you have posted reviews of have been of establishments that - while appearing delicious - are in parts of town that would not be particularly welcoming to white people. (E&L, for example - a black coworker of mine, when I suggested it for lunch one day, said that it would be great but that I should plan to do takeout on account of being white.) Are you white or black, and if you’re white, are you dining with a mostly black group?
I ask because it would be useful to know if he’s wrong.

I’m white, and female, and I almost always eat alone. I have never had a problem in these parts of town–once at night I got cat-called on the street outside, but inside the restaurants themselves I have never felt unwelcome. If people are unhappy to have me there they certainly don’t show it, and often they are downright sweet (I do like it when women call me hon and sweetie). At E&L, I got take-out because I had to get back to work, but I wouldn’t have minded eating in–in fact, the only person eating in when I was there was a lone white guy.
I have heard similar concerns from people who grew up here, but being an out-of-towner I haven’t felt the same sort of dividing lines. To extent those lines actually exist, I think they are much easier to cross than people seem to think.
