There are a lot of factors at play. For example, some sit down restaurants have lower lighting for ambiance. Which can make it harder to find things, or to get to the washroom. Some restaurants use weird fonts or tiny print, which can be difficult for someone with low vision to read. Other places can have food that may be more difficult to eat when someone can't see it (like a large T-bone steak or something).

There really isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. It can be useful for restaurants to have braille menus, but not everyone reads braille. Restaurants can also post their menus online so people can look it up on their phones or before heading to the restaurant, but some elderly clients may not have access to that technology. Bright lights can also be useful, but the restaurants that keep the lighting low are probably doing it intentionally.

I don’t have any difficulty in restaurants I am totally blind and have been for a long time. I always ask waiter what is on the menu to read them off general categories first then I may ask okay the pastas or the tacos and burritos or sandwiches sound great what are those now? And they tell me and I order. Sometimes if it’s common sense like you go to a americana type of place right you assume sandwiches and regular stuff like soup and salads and what not. So I am like you have salads right. What type of salads. Okay that one sounds great or I name the one they said. Some people have trouble with bony type stuff. I am a really tactile person so I grab and just eat it. Or sometimes I’ll have the kitchen cut it. But I find experiences pretty easy. There’s only sometimes trouble and that’s when people don’t want to help and serve you or i had one upscale place bitch me out because I asked another person where’s the counter how do I get inside. And then later ask someone who was also leaving anyway hey can you please help me out out to the sidewalk and out of this parking lot? But usually I have no issues.
