Yeah, everything is classed up a little bit.

The menu, there usually are less options at a fine dining restaurant.

Whereas at Cheesecake Factory or somewhere, these places will have like thousands of options.

Or a diner is like pages and pages of menu.

No.

But that's a good example too of casual dining, right?

Any diner is casual dining.

All of that.

It's casual.

This is interesting.

At least in the States, we would now refer to them as servers, anyone who is bringing food to your table.

We used to call them waiters, waitresses, but that's really gone away.

And we mostly just say servers now.

It's interesting how it really calls like the 50s diner now.

We say waiter, waitress, but I'm not sure exactly why, but server has just sort of replaced that.

I wonder if a lot of it is because it's removing gender, where you have to say waiter, waitress, you have to know their gender, whereas server, they're all just a server and you don't have to know gender.

You might accidentally mess up the gender if you're using waiter, waitress.

Mm hmm.

Or as we said, a diner buffet, you mentioned family style.

We often will order family style, especially at an Asian restaurant where you're ordering several things from the menu and then everyone's sharing.
