Restaurant help:
I have a rather specific restaurant request. We are looking for a sit-down restaurant that serves vaguely healthy food that's not just a salad. Does anyone know of any restaurants that list calorie content on their menus (even part of their menus)? Any restaurant that is simply more health conscious overall?
Bonus for multiple vegetarian options. Double bonus for T/bus accessible.

No calorie counts, but the Qingdao Garden on Mass Ave in North Cambridge (easy walk from Davis, and several bus/electric bus routes go right past it) has some of the healthiest-feeling restaurant food I've ever eaten . They always have several kinds of greens on the menu, some tofu dishes that even I like (the black bean tofu is elegant), and exceedingly tasty dumplings, including a couple of veg ones. And excellent homemade pickles. They also have some delicious unhealthy things, too, like the Zhongqing Hot Fried Chicken, but we won't go there.

It's not the nicest dining atmosphere; we usually get takeout. But it has a nice, straightforward feel and you get the sense that you're dealing with people who really give a damn about what they're doing, and the food has that life-giving feel to it.
