I find it intrusive and bordering on an invasion of my privacy.

I guess I will make reservation under my other TER handles to protect my identity

I'll have to go with inicky, Perfect Storm, ChgoCPA, CurlyW,  BigPapaSan,  or Gagambler. RodTidwell too but I haven't logged into that account in a few hours.  It's always amusing to post cryptic stuf, using pimpathy account though. I also get a kick out of posting dumb shit using fungus account.  Maybe I'll post another troll post using my tucky account pretending to be an investment banker

Although, ironically, the best restaurants in the world stay the fuck out of the personal business of their customers.  

That aside, the maître d' of Eleven Madison Park may google your name before you arrive for dinner. And, that may feel creepy and invasive.

BUT. On the upside, if he is as thorough as reported, he will also have reviewed your reviews, and will have the ideal provider of your dreams booked and waiting to ravish you as soon as you finish dinner.  

So, you don't need to share your alias when you make your dinner reservation. But it would seem prudent to share whether your dinner plans include your wife.  

Awkward. And, surprise!

with a provider and be greeted by the matre'd with [directed at your date], "Hello Mrs. Monger, we see you are celebrating a birthday next week.  May we bring a small birthday cake to the table after your meal; on the house of course?"
