Risley Dining Room is our gluten-free, tree nut free and peanut free dining room under the AllerCheck™️ approved by MenuTrinfo®️ program, for house residents and the entire Cornell community. There are always vegan and vegetarian choices. Modeled after the Christchurch Refectory at Oxford University, the dining room maintains the same Gothic charm as when it first opened as the all-Ivy "Risley Great Hall" in 1913.
