dining room
Formal eating space
A dining room is a room in a house or building designated for eating meals, typically containing a table and chairs.
It's distinguished from the kitchen, where food is prepared, and from more casual eating spaces like breakfast nooks.
We only use the dining room for holidays and special occasions.
