A cafeteria is convenient and cheap. Produce from cans is served on plastic platters. The employees are short on conversation but masters of efficiency. With your choices limited and pre-cooked, you’re in and out in under an hour.

It’s good for what it is, but you’d never choose it to impress someone.

A few blocks away is a restaurant. At first glance, you know it’s special. The waitstaff helps select a meal and a drink that is exactly right. They serve locally sourced meats and produce harvested that morning. As soon as you leave, you’re eager to return.

The restaurant nourishes. It inspires. It provides a memorable experience.
