There are several options for dining on the train. You can bring your own food, or eat at a dining car or snack bar. There is also a “Parlor Lounge” which is for sleeper passengers only. So many other privileges for sleeper passengers. They get to make reservations at a dining car first. They are offered a complimentary wine and cheese tasting in the afternoon. All meals at the dining car/Parlor lounge are included with their fare. But, no privileges come free. My coach seat from LA to Portland was $170 and sleeper room is +$420 on top of that. Yeah.
Anyways, I digress.
A conductor walks around taking reservations for lunch and dinner at a dining car. My reservation was at 5:45.
And if your party is less than 3 people, you are seated with strangers to facilitate socializing.
I was seated with a couple from SF and an older lady also from SF.
The food was better than I expected. Definitely better than the airplane food.
This is where magic happens. I only see microwaves, but ANYWAYS.
I had a red wine and lamb shack and it came out to $25. Not too bad.
After dinner, I made friends at the observation deck. We kept drinking and talking almost until midnight. Fun times.
