Being a vegetarian, looking at the menu beforehand is sometimes a must. if i get somewhere and then realize the only thing I can eat is a side salad or fries... i will not be a happy camper.
so usually we try to figure out if i can eat there before commiting to a new restaurant. I just wish more places had the menu outside.
Absolutely. I have to see if there is variety at a new place. If there's only one or two things I will eat, I probably won't go back unless I really am craving the specific dish.
Depends... sometimes I've been recommeded restaurants from other vegetarians, so I know I can eat there and don't have to read the menu. I do check all other restaurants though to make sure
I'm not stuck eating a plain dinner salad. When I go to San Diego, I always check the menu to make sure it's not completely out of my price range as well.
it depends- i usually do glance for price range. if its something like an italian place, where i know i like italian food, i'll walk right in. if its something different, like a fusion place
or a fancy place, i'll read the menu first briefly -just to make sure there is at least one dish i'll eat. i'm a slightly picky eater, so as long as i see one thing i'll eat i'll go in
Always. We usually decide to try a restaurant after walking by several times and noticing it's busy or that the food on the plate of the outdoor diners looks good. We just found our new
favorite place that way.
My lovely boyfriend and I will try anything so we don't worry about checking ahead. But I usually research chic new places for the mood and service. Cheaper places we'll stop in randomly just
for fun!
I always like to know if there's anything that sounds appetizing to me and if it's in my price range. Occasionally I have walked into a resturant without looking at the menu and regretted it.
I always look at the menu but not to see if I'll like the place...I like to read to the menu so I know what I'll order in advance or if they have something that I'm craving...
For new restaurants, I usually check out reviews and blogs before I go in addition to checking out their menu.
I get a bit obsessed about this, I will read it from front to back and still question the server about it. And like simnboutme, I too go to the resturants site and check the menu.
I have to check every menu before eating at new restaurants, because my man is VERY picky. I have to make sure there is something on the menu he can eat, or there's no point in going.
I might look at it first if it's posted in a visible spot...but if the restaurant looks/seems nice, I'm usually confident I'll find something I like. I love trying new foods and experimenting
when I'm out to eat, so I'm usually easy to please too!
Most of the time if I am not familiar with the place. If I am going with some one who knows what I like, then I usually do not need to see it and take my friends word that there will be
something I like.

I'll usually glance at it to see if there's something that peaks my interest and to make sure that it's in my price range.

3Yes and no, certain cuisines I steer clear of, so I'd like to at least know if there's "something" on their menu I would like.
4I usually check when I don't have an idea of what they serve or the price range. If I already have an idea then I just go in.
5I make sure they have vegetarian options and that they aren't outrageously expensive... then I'm game!
6Nope! I like the suprise! And most places in Canada (unlike Europe) don't have a menu posted otuside so it's pretty hard to read before going in!
7If it's posted, I'll read it. Why go in if the prices are out of your range or they don't have what you like.
8I have to make sure they have foods that 'agree' with me because I have colitis. Even though really nothing agrees with me, I still look.
9Absolutely. I have to see if there is variety at a new place. If there's only one or two things I will eat, I probably won't go back unless I really am craving the specific dish.
10I sure do!

16Absolutely. Just to see that I'll enjoy the food and be able to meet the price range.
17Well since I don't eat red meat or fish of any kind it's self preservation for me to read the menu to see if there's anything I'd eat.
18I'll usually take a quick glance...also depends on who i'm with though...

21I do if they post the menu. Not very many places do that around here
22I usually don't think to, but if I think of it, I'll browse it.
23If it's totally new to me, yes, but if it's been recommended by a couple of friends, I stroll on in to be pleasantly surprised
24For a vegetarian, it's a must!

28Ur_Momm is right on the money... I read so I'm not stuck eating the bread basket for dinner.
29Gotta know if I can afford it.
