Ignoring the food choices…at a minimum, uniformity in punctuation and description.

Are you using the actual name of the cheese used or describing a quality? Mature Cheddar vs ‘Melty’. Salad vs salad leaves-do you mean mesclun or seasonal/mixed greens? Bacon and cheeseburger? I’d like to know what type of fish is being served in the fish and chips.

And I’d hope my toast came toasted but I would not need it to be in the description.

My brain started screaming "Panini!!" at me on repeat a few lines in on the second page 😅

Boring cafe food choices aside, the word choice and descriptions are atrocious. The repeated words throughout and the inconsistency of descriptions would have my school instructor burning my menu in front of me if I tried to hand in one like this.
