I read that same review this past weekend. The narrow seats do sound a bit problematic to me.
The seats are narrower for a reason, to make the center aisle wide enough for most wheelchairs or who otherwise require better accessibility access. You can not do both, wider aisles and wider seats, with a specification wide train body that fits within existing station platforms.
As for the food/cafe arrangement, talk with your local board of directors who approved the design of these trains for their specific state subsidized trains. Personally, if all you will get is cold food, using vending machines like NCDOT Piedmont trains does this most efficiently and at the lowest costs to you the consumer.
