~Doc Lawrence
The last dinner on the Titanic was a spectacle of romance entwined with luxury, music, high fashion and the finest cuisine served with almost endless glasses of Champagne. The dining room for the wealthy was named The Ritz, an orchestra serenaded diners and encouraged dancing. An evening we can only fantasize about during the days leading to Valentine’s, our special time to celebrate the majesty of love.

| Luxurious Dining |
Here is the menu for that luxuriously appointed event. Most of the dishes are recognizable. Some are antiquated. It is a guide of sorts for those who at least dream about a special evening with someone we love. In a place where the best of everything is served amid lovely music in a room tastefully furnished, with guests who excel in advanced conversation.
