The Athenaeum will celebrate the grand opening of its new kitchen (known as the Rath Al Fresco Pavilion, pictured above) on May 12, a date that also marks the beginning of the Rath's outdoor summer dining season.
The club's new 1,900-square-foot kitchen addition opened in April, doubling the size of the previous food-preparation area and included new features such as a rotisserie and a gas-fired pizza oven.
The Rath Al Fresco Pavilion is open from 11:30 a.m.–2 p.m. daily and offers diners a variety of new grab-and-go lunchtime options, including salads and sandwiches. Al Fresco dining is available 5–9 p.m. Monday through Friday.
