One thing that I appreciate in restaurants is how some bother to mark out which dishes are vegetarian and which contain nuts.
Generally, the friends and I like restaurants that have a good vegetarian selection or are inclined to have the chef whip up instant creations.
The most irksome is when we sit down at a restaurant and enquire if a dish is vegetarian, the server says yes, only for us to realize later than the soup stock used was chicken rather than vegetables, or have the server sneer at us when we ask if dessert is vegetarian. I want to clobber them and tell them that if animal-based gelatin is used, it renders the dessert NON-vegetarian. Like, Yoplait and Dannon use kosher beef-gelatin. So these brands of yoghurt are NOT vegetarian.
Tas remains one of my favorite budget eating venues not just because it serves good quality of one of my favorite foods. It's also because it caters to all dietary preferences of the friends. We could all sit down to a civilized meal together without harrassing the kitchen over the precise wording and content of the menu.
