The first and second time I tried to go to the Crow, I was alone. I was not allowed to make a reservation over the phone for one person, so I thought I'd go later and grab an empty table. When I got there, several small tables were empty, but I was told I had to sit at the bar. Well, alone with a book, it was too dark to read at the bar, so I left.
I ran into the same problem at Betty, the Crow's sister restaurant on Upper Queen Anne.
I've since been to Crow (and Betty) with other people and have had pretty good experiences. The service was a bit slow, but our waiters and waitresses were very cordial.
Bottom line, if you're alone and don't want to sit at the bar, go somewhere else.

Pros: Loved the salmon
Cons: Do not like being forced to sit at the bar just because I'm alone
