Hi there,
My wife works for Weight Watchers Saturday mornings (reception) and she has been on a serious health kick for about 6 years now. She eats low fat everything (for the most part), lots of veggies (and I mean lots), drinks plenty of water, etc.
Whenver we go out for dinner, I generally tend to choose the place (only because I somehow always tend to pay). I tend to pick places that are tasty, but not necessarily healthy. She has said that the healthiest place I've chosen is Fire and Ice (basically, you choose your protein meat or chicken or seafood selection, then go to a vegetable bar, grab a plate, pile veggies on as high as the plate holds, hand it to a server, who then hands it to the cooks who mix your meat choices with the veggies as well as your choice of sauce. Pretty tasty.
However, my wife has recently mentioned to me that, since she knows I am on this forum, that there must be others who have been to tasty restaurants that server healthy meals that are fresh. She is also looking for a restaurant that has more than just token vegetarian dishes (she is far from vegetarian but does eat a lot of veggies).
I can look online on a search engine or in the phone book, but what I really want are people's recommendations based on their experiences. I know Pickel Barrel has a fair selection of healthy stuff, but I can't really say how fresh their selections are since we've been there a few times where the shrimp was frozen, the veggies cold, the chicken totally not done right). I'm sure there's some "gems" that are not big name restaurants that you may recommend to us. If you know any, please pass along the restaurant name, as well as your thoughts on your experience.
Thank you!
