You will see people wear shorts to go out to lunch in most places, especially outdoor seating. For dinner though shorts are pretty rare in restaurants (I guess it depends on the restaurant).

to be sure, it's infrequent that i wear shorts to work, usually if it's a half day and i'm going to do something, but i see it happen. i'm in environmental consulting/engineering and you're lucky if an environmental scientist is even wearing business casual, so it's not like a big civil consulting firm.
