Nice dining hall, some people compare it to Harry Potter's Hogwarts...Sodexo staff is nice and friendly, but hours of operation are sometimes short on weekends. Quality depends on effort of some workers

Compared to other dining halls that I've visited both on tour and visiting friends it's significantly better than most. You'll never get a restaurant quality meal at any college dining hall but there is a huge variety, allergy free options, and locally produced options. The quality of the food is better than most and I never had a problem finding something good for any meal while on the full meal plan for 2 years.

I get to eat here sometimes because my husband is a counselor at Marist. This dining hall alone makes me wish I could go back to college. Marist obviously spends a lot of money on getting the latest gadgets and things because the have drink machines and such that I don't even see very often in restaurants. All of the food is delicious and you can customize anything to your liking.
