The Perfect Healthy Restaurant...

On my way to work this morning, I imagined what the "perfect" healthy restaurant would be (for me, anyway).

Name: Healthy Haven
Style: Casual dining
Characteristics: Serves breakfast/lunch/dinner; Nothing on the menu is above 900 calories (items at the higher end would be larger dinner meals); Each menu item would list calories/carbs/protein/fat/sugar information; would offer Paleo/Vegan/Vegetarian/Clean options all listed on different pages of the menu; All information would already be entered onto MFP and other calorie counters; take out/delivery options.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a neighborhood restaurant like this for days you don't feel like cooking?!

Has anyone else ever thought of what their "perfect" restaurant would be like?

ETA: I thought this was implied, but my vision of this restaurant would obviously include all the food being delicious... no point in having a "perfect" restaurant if the food wasn't awesome.

    my perfect place just hits my steak just right, has a good house dressing for my salad, and knows what plain means when I order steamed veggies or a sweet potato.

    When I eat out I do so because I don't want to cook and I want to indulge and be happy.

    You could have a very unhealthy meal for under 900 calories. The portion would just be smaller.

    Seasons 52, and it already exists.

    Just Googled that and there is one in AZ... it looks awesome! Although it seems to be more of a "fancy" place, is that right?

    I own two restaurants with my husband and I've done the nutritional information on many items - my favourite dishes are all over 1000 calories but I simply make 1/2 orders when I want them..

    yum :)

    I wouldn't call it a fancy place. But I also wouldn't wear a tank top and sandals either.

    You wouldn't wear a tank top and sandals to McDonalds . . .
