I know we’re talking about domestic transportation, but I want to add my experience on a bullet train going from Paris to Barcelona. We were a family of 4 and was able to sit together with a table between us.
I never searched for a dining car, but I did purchase from the cafe car.
I was surprisingly impressed with our meals. The gnocchetti was heated the correct way rather than over cooked, burnt flex meals. Notice the wooden spork.
I also wish Amtrak would offer a sandwich with their flex meals.
I took Amtrak Meteor in a roomette home from Newark after our return wishing for that ham sandwich.
As a side note, I travel Amtrak Silvers in a roomette or bedroom at least twice a year for well over 20 years. I remember and miss when I truly enjoyed Amtrak dining.
