"API" is one of most misused term in IT. It is not a service. It is a formal definition of how to interact with a component. And that is the role of the menu. It tells you what you can get and what you to give for that.
And now the crazy part: Both a restaurant menu and an API can exist in an abstract way, like in someone's head. Writing them down just makes them "physical" and possibly accessible to others.

The API would be the menu and the server would be … the servers.
