Dining Room
The Dining Room. Handsome,
formal and elegant -- this was the Victorian dining room.
As a hive
of social activity, the dining room was the other room in the
house, second only to the parlor, where attention to detail was
paramount. Dinner parties and afternoon teas and receptions were
the most popular manner of entertaining in an era that found
home the setting for numerous genial gatherings. Elaborate tableware
and formal dinners comprising several courses required the perfect
backdrop. The dining room was a model of genteel taste in decoration,
substantial furnishings, and carefully chosen accessories. Deportment
in the dining room referred not only to one's behavior but to
the manner in which this all-important room was dressed.
The Athenaeum
Hotel continues its tradition of operating on the American Plan.
This means that the daily room rate includes three meals - full
or continental breakfast, grand buffet lunch with a daily sandwich
option and a five-course dinner. Sunday Brunch in the Dining
Room has been added to our dining pleasures. Guests can enjoy
their meals in our bright, cheerful dining room or on our majestic
lake front veranda.
To preserve a
dinner atmosphere reminiscent of the gentle elegance of the past,
we ask that gentlemen wear jackets and ties and the ladies dress
in their finest. Casual attire is acceptable for breakfast, lunch
and supper. Walk-in guests are welcomed, but reservations are
highly recommended at 716-357-4444.
