The Grand Dining Room continues to be the scene of social gatherings and gourmet experiences. Beautifully restored in the Victorian mode, the room is dominated by Ionic columns and gleaming white woodwork. Three handsome fireplaces, complete with intricately carved mantle pieces and marble surrounds, add warmth and cheer on a winter's day. The lawns and the river can be seen through expansive windows, and the first blossoms of crepe myrtle and magnolia trees color the landscape in early spring. The glow of candlelight and piano music create an atmosphere of romance and anticipation of the gourmet meal to come. A cause celebre is the Grand Dining Room's Sunday brunch, a culinary and visual delight. The last Sunday of most months boasts Sunday Dinner Dance with gourmet dining and ballroom dancing.
The Grand Dining Room, the hotel's full service restaurant, offers breakfast, lunch, dinner and famous Sunday Brunch. The á-la carte menu features continental cuisine specializing in seafood, gourmet specials and authentic southern fare. The Club pianist complements evening dining and Sunday Brunch. Jackets or collared shirts, slacks or appropriate jeans for gentlemen requested.
