Thanks again, everyone. We ended up going to a different restaurant, and I had a "Portabella Plate," which was basically a huge array of different vegetables and things all caramelized and/or glazed in balsamic vinegar. Plus a cheese plate appetizer and a gluten-free chocolate raspberry torte. Sorry no pictures, but it was fantastic.
I did my best not to talk about the nuances of medical problems, and Mr. Clod did his best not to talk about complicated network administration problems.
