That is something I would like to see much more of. Even though I am veg, I prefer to go to mainstream restaurants and eat the veg options. (For example, Jaleo is the best restaurant in town for vegetarians, hands-down.) But most reviews forget to mention if there are veg options, or overlook them entirely. For example, I once read a review somewhere of Commonwealth stating that it was a "vegetarian's nightmare," or something to that effect, which couldn't be farther from the truth. (Commonwealth has a number of veg selections, and they are helpfully marked on the menu with a "V.") I would recommend that reviewers (who are usually carnivores) make more of an effort to think of what others might want to eat on the menu, and maybe bring along a vegetarian friend or two!
