a la carte restaurant

It seems that within First Class there was quite a cross section, we have the ultra high rollers like JJ Astor, Guggenheim, Strauss et al, and then we have some more medicore folks. The Cafe Parisian was designed (it seems) to seperate the real "first class" from the pretenders and also-rans...

Hello I'm interested in the VIP Dinnerware sold in the Titanic store, just curious if anyone knows the history or purpose of them? I haven't seen too many images of these plates or references to them in any movies. They always use the first class dinnerware set Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi, I just heard that the crew of the restaurant A La Carte Restaurant was retained in their cabins for some time and that’s why just the 2 cashiers survived. I know their cabins should be on E deck in Scotland Road but, which of the cabins was the one for them? Following the deck plans, there...

I'm curious if anyone knows... It just dawned on me, I've never seen any of the Crown Derby china from the A La Carte restaurant show up in any footage or artifact exhibits. Considering that even the rare Lancaster pattern of Spodes cobalt china was found in the debris field, how could none of...

Does anyone know the original colour and pattern of the upholstery to the chairs in the A La Carte Restaurant? Thanks

Hi, all: In the latest miniseries on the Titanic that came out on the anniversary (I mean the one with several stories, like a soap opera), there is a scene in which one of the firemen (?) rescues his brother, a waiter, and several others from a flooding room. Is this part of the "legend" of...

In recent weeks, I've read more than one reference to Olympic's "Ritz" restaurant, and I have to wonder how accurate that is. The Mauretania had a Ritz-Carlton a la carte restaurant, contracted for by Cesar Ritz himself, which would make it a legitimate reference. Leviathan had one, too -...

It has been a long time – several years, in fact – since I've posted here, but this weekend's centenary made me want to come back here and be with other Titanoraks again. One of my great interests regarding Titanic is her A La Carte restaurant, located on B Deck. One of the reasons I'm...

Did anyone who attended the Widner's dinner party in honor of E.J. Smith, and then survived the sinking, leave any detailed accounts of the party? I'd love to find out at least a vague notion of what was talked about, what E.J. said, etc. Richard K.

Now, I just want to set things streight. The Titanic had a Reception for the French Restaurant on B-Deck. It was paneled in white with a green carpet, two windows with cream curtians, brown wicker chairs and crystal chandiliers. Most people thought this was in the Aft Staircase, but it's not. I...

I'm writing to you hoping that you will be able to help in the "investigations" I'm trying to carry out about a French victim of the Titanic. I only know a few facts about him and I'm sure you can give me some useful hints. I teach English in a little town in Northern France called SOLESMES (not...

Was 2-class an 3-class passengers not allowed to eat at the restaurant??

For better or for worse, a recent expedition by R.M.S. Titanic Inc. found a new field of debris just south of the Titanic's stern and salvaged some 75 artifacts before returning. "The field contained mostly remnants of the ship’s first-class A La Carte Restaurant, including the champagne...

Hey all, i've always wondered what exactly the 2 female cashiers in the a la carte restaurant did. Did they sit behind tills and take in the money for the bills? It seems like a very modern concept - like in a McDonalds restaurant or something. What sort of uniform would they have worn? Was...

Does any body know what other passengers attended the the Sunday hymn-sing in second class, besides Kate Buss, The Carters, Mr. Pain, Mrs. Weisz and Mr. Norman and does anybody know what other first class passengers dined in the a la Carte Resaurant that night. I know of the Carters...

Does anyone know what the CSN logo stood for on these plates and who made them?

This may sound like an obscure question, but an answer would be greatly appreciated. How many restaurants were there aboard Titanic and where (on which decks) were they located? I am aware of the a la carte restaurant (not sure where it was, though), the Verandah and the Parisian Cafe. I...
