The restaurants are
listed by non-exclusive and non-exhaustive categories; within categories, they
are listed
alphabetically, with my recommendations first (in rank order,
alphabetically within ranks).
Some names have been abbreviated.
Suggestions for improvement of these
categories are solicited.

Bill's reply:
Thanks Ken! I'm not a vegetarian, so I'm not sensitive to the subtleties of
the varieties of vegetarianism. I suspect that many readers who are
vegetarians are so to different degrees. The list below was simply
culled from reviews that mentioned the existence of vegetarian dishes,
and was never intended to be a precise guide, merely a list of pointers.
So I'm grateful for your detailed analysis. Note that Jasmine was never
listed here. My
inclusion of Touch was intended to indicate that (some) vegetarians might
not feel out of place there (according to at least one reviewer), not
necessarily
that (all) vegetarians would feel fully at home. The listings here, as
elsewhere, are, generally speaking, alphabetical, with only an
indication of those restaurants that I especially like or dislike;
that's why San Marco is–but Palace of Dosas isn'ton top: I've been
to San Marco (but had a non-veggie dish); I've haven't been to Palace of
Dosas yet. I'm adding your later comment about Kyoto, as a warning to
others :-)

FISH FRIES
Note:
Many restaurants in my guide might
serve fish fries but have not been explicitly
reviewed for them. Consequently, being listed here merely means
that the restaurant has been reviewed for their
fish fries. But no
recommendations are implied: Some may have good
reviews; others may have bad reviews.
I [Bill] hate fish fries, so I have removed
all of my stars and minuses from this list, because
those ratings only refer to the non-fish-fry
cuisine.
My thanks to [EN] for the idea and for some initial suggestions!

Vegan/Vegetarian
[KE, 6/08] warns: "Many of the restaurants listed
here under vegetarian have almost no vegetarian food to speak of. One
should be especially wary of
Thai,
as almost everything in Thai food has
fish in it. (See my comments on
Jasmine,
which I've since discovered is
true of almost all Thai food unless a restaurant is doing something
special.) Also, I would not list a restaurant that will make a vegi
dish to order but has none on its menu under vegetarian (e.g.,
Touch).
[Editor's Note: Touch has closed.]
Here's what I hope you'll take as a friendly suggestion from a concerned
vegetarian: Perhaps under this heading,
you might consider putting
Palace of Dosas
first (mentioning that it is
the only truly vegetarian restaurant in the area) and then listing ones
that are specifically vegi-friendly (and having a sub-heading mentioning
that):
Amy's Place,
Buffalo Bean and Leaf,
Café 59,
Dolci Bakery,
Falafel Bar,
Natalie's
Pizza Plant,
Tru-Teas.
(As a general rule, I
don't think of a restaurant as vegi-friendly at all unless they have at
least two entree choices on the menu, and I would submit that they need
to be seen as making a special effort to cater to vegetarians to be on
this list.) Then "these other cuisines are also generally vegi-friendly":
(perhaps with a special mention of
Taste Good
and
China Max
for offering
mock-meat options).
Thanks for a wonderful resource."
Update [7/08] "I would not add
Kyoto to the vegetarian section."
