Going to the Cafeteria

A while back JO and I bought a Groupon for Cafeteria on Newbury Street. We headed in one rainy night back in February for dinner. I was looking forward to this place since I've heard good things about it. The place was packed when we arrived so we waited at the bar for a bit. They have a really fun drink menu.

The whole idea of this place is that they reinvent cafeteria food. Other than the name I didn't really get this from the decor or menu. The decor is so neutral it's a bit off putting. You're dining in a sea of tan and cream. The walls are bare except for a small metal "Cafeteria" sign.

We ordered the mussels and they were good but nothing special. Our main meals were good but again nothing special. We did enjoy all the crazy fashion we saw and spent much of dinner trying to figure out what the "Cafeteria" desired attire is. Track suits were big as were designer shoes and accessories. Odd!
