That situation sounds like fun! You let your friend(s) pick something for you. This frees you to do more spontaneous things and keep the social energy flowing. I've personally done this even when there was a printed menu and eating wasn't the point.
I think people need to really lighten up sometimes.
I've been fairly successful at avoiding spots like that myself, also by just walking out. But its completely impractical if you're meeting up with (multiple) people.
Do you still leave if you’ve gone out to eat with someone else?
I think the easy play in that situation is to ask that someone else to show the menu to you

Good luck doing this with any romantic partner.

In that case, I could just read it off of their phone
Nah; reading it off the phone is the whole thing I'm trying to avoid. Doesn't matter who's phone.
