Couldn't agree more, just logged in to write the same comment. An all picture menu typically indicates the restaurant doesn't change its menu frequently. To me this calls into question the creativity of the chefs and/or their willingness to adapt the menu at short notice in response to the availability of unusual ingredients. In contrast, a hand written chalkboard menu is usually a good indicator. Although I suppose in many cases a handwritten specials board is a good halfway house.
