Contental breakfast was good.

Great food very fresh and tasty.

I like this dining hall! The hall is beautifully decorated with lots of colorful flags. So, it gives a really pleasant first impression. This is my first time here and I found the quality of both and desserts really impressive. The choice is limited, but they are tasty and pretty healthy. The arugula salad with pickled red onions and cheery tomatoes was sooo good in its own that I didn't even need salad dressing. Sourdough bread was a farmer-market-level high quality one. The whipping cream feels like it's made of real milk and the chocolate cake didn't feel too sugary. They seem to be attentive at providing vegan food (and desserts). But I didn't see much variety eg. no Kosher/Halal/Asian/Middle Eastern food. (But so far I have only been there once so I don't know how the selection will be in other days!)

Ps. There was a tiny stage in this dining hall. There was a drum performance on the day I visited it. That's interesting! It's great if you like this sort of thing. But no so good if you prefer quietness during meal time.

Generally speaking, I am a fan of Cook house dining. It's the only West campus dining hall open until 9 pm, which I greatly appreciate. Best days of the week to be here for dinner are Monday (for Mexican) and Thursday (for Chinese).
