CHAUTAUQUA DINING HALL

120th anniversary-inspired dinner

Running monthly in 2018, the Dining Hall will feature a dish and cocktail inspired by a decade in our history. June’s menu is inspired by the years 1950-1960.

After World War II, American dinners would be forever changed. With many women now in the work force and households receiving greater income, TV dinners came onto the scene. A quick and easy solution to feed your whole family – while gathered around your brand-new television! When families were not inside, many enjoyed a Tom Collins while having a barbecue with neighbors. View the menu here. Served daily from 5:00 p.m. – close. For reservations, please call 303.440.3776 or email reservations@chautauquadininghall.com.
