Why Historical or Thematic Dining?

still life There are a number of places where you can go to dine on period or historical food. Many of them are far away, too commercial, or not as authentic as the advertisements claim. Caterers and many restaurants, while they may be interested in this concept, do not have the time or the  resources to recreate an historical meal.

Today, many people want a new twist to their dinner or cocktail parties. One magazine recently commented that party givers and goers are no longer satisfied with the ordinary, they want to be more creative. A "Titanic" Dinner Party, where a recreation of the last meal on the RMS Titanic is served, or a Victorian Christmas, are extremely popular choices.

The ability to "suspend belief and time" for a few hours, to dine by candlelight or oil lamps, possibly wearing vintage clothing, is an experience that your guests will remember long after the party has ended.
