My parents handled this differently:

* They put food on the table, I ate it.
* If I didn't want to eat it, I didn't leave the table
* I didn't get to make requests
* I didn't get to peruse a menu
* I didn't get to send it back if I didn't like it
* I didn't get any say in the menu until I was old enough to do the cooking myself.

I'm not a parent, so you can take this with a big grain of table salt, but you're setting this kid up to be a spoiled brat.
