: In American English, dining hall has connotations of institutional cafeterias, such as university canteens or at summer camps (as referenced above) where you serve yourself from a buffet, and not a restaurant, particularly not a nice restaurant

NOt knowing the exact location or what type of restaurant it is, that is why I have two options, hall and area. I worked in restaurants to get through college and we would say 'dining area or hall' depending what type of restaurant it is. Have a good one!

That's why I have two options "HALL" and "AREA" we don't know anything about the restaurant therefore we can not assume it's a fancy restaurant or a 'banquet hall or other hall". Have a great day!
