Visited it the last time my wife and I were on campus. Very impressed with both the food diversity and the staff. The manager graciously gave us a tour to see how things have changed. Today's students don't realize how good they have it compared to when we were students. Alumni from 1969.

This is one of the better college dining halls. There has been a change in the chef over the last couple years, and for me it has been a negative. The former chef was more conscious of food preferences, and prepared dishes that not only meet some of those needs but also did so with a great level of care. Now, some of the vegetarian dishes are token canned veggies dressed up a bit. Don't get me wrong; I'm appreciative, but it's not the same. There was a curried veggie dish that was good, which was encouraging. The selection is usually varied, and you can rely on some standbys as well. The service is great, and the cleanliness is wonderful.
