Join us for dinner!

DiningHall_1200The world around our table

Our dining hall is an integral part of life at the college; it is over the dinner table that friendships are formed, and cross-cultural exchange and learning happens. Chef Clarence Tay and his team offer diverse dinner menus to reflect our diverse community and include abundant homemade entrees, vegetarian alternatives, and luxurious desserts.

Members of the university community as well as the general public are welcome to join us for dinner and join the table conversation – or just enjoy some great food! The van der Linden Dining Hall has over 100 flags surrounding the room that represent the countries of the residents who have lived in our community over the years. Floating about the tables are over 1,000 paper boats that are part of  art installation entitled, Waterscapes – Johannean Journeys Our community is made up graduate students, post doctoral fellows and visiting scholars from all over the world, and there is usually a lively discussion happening somewhere in the dining hall.   In fact we are pretty you may actually leave a little smarter after enjoying a dining experience at St. John’s!
