Walked into Caffoteria today, looks very nice, and it's basically waiter service without tipping, except for the initial order. They come and refill your water etc. Prices justify that though imo

He barely ate. The only way one can give reviews is by trying at least 5 dishes on the menu.

I guess that will take four more visits then. Having five dishes at one sitting defeats the purpose of eating out.
I just found a new supply of forks!
