I dated a vegan for a bit, she was cool about me sticking to my meat and potatoes diet when we went out somewhere. Def. not a bad idea to call ahead and ask what vegan dishes the place offers, and make sure they are differentiating between vegan and vegetarian. One place that worked great was a Mediterranean/Middle Eastern place that served all kinds of vegan, vege, and regular dishes. As a suggestion, I would avoid getting a dripping red steak and do something with diced chicken in it. Or try an Oriental place and give tofu a whirl in a stir fry dish with lo mein and broccoli, it's actually pretty good.
