I had dinner a few nights ago at La Boheme, the signature restaurant at the Grand Bohemian in downtown Orlando (take a peek at that dinner menu. A full report on the hotel is coming after the holidays.) It's a great date place, with cozy booths, a decent wine list and an inviting bar, decked out in red, across the small lobby. The calamari is a must-have; the chef here created it, and it's now at all Kessler hotels, including Casa Monica in St. Augustine.
But what really stood out for me was the illuminated menus. They were presented in a weighty leather covering, written on parchment paper, and illuminated from behind the paper. I'd never seen it before. It really made the menu easy to read in the dim mood lighting of this romantic restaurant. The dessert menu, although smaller, was also back-lit. Have you dined at any restaurants that are sporting these illuminated menus? Any reason why they can't all have them?
Update: I was just contacted by the vendor. Here they are, in case you are looking for them: illuminated menus. Brilliant!

I was in Argentina a couple of weeks ago and dinned at a Japanese Restaurant in Buenos Aires and they had them too.
I don’t know why they don’t all have them.
