I'm not sure it's that weird a take. Fast casual is a pretty popular category with better burgers etc. that you order at the counter. In the UK, it's pretty common to order and pay for pub food at the bar and have someone just deliver it to your table. If I'm by myself and there are seats at the bar for eating that's what I'll often do. Totally depends on the experience you're looking for. On the other hand, if I'm having a "nice" meal out, I probably do expect table service.
