Not at all, but you have to be careful. You should scope out restaurants in advance to make sure they are not too loud or crowded. Meeting over food can work well. Most people feel a sense of satisfaction and comfort while they’re eating, which helps put them in a charitable mood, and “breaking bread” with someone creates its own connection. Further, meetings over food tend to be longer, which gives you more time to ask questions, learn from your donors, and build those relationships.
