Re: The gold room nostalgia
Wow that brings back some memories. My girlfriend at the time (now my wife) used to treat me there when I ran out of meal tickets. You could get a pretty good steak in there and as I recall they even had a piano player to give it a little ambiance. I must confess that I also liked the food at the BI !

Re: The gold room nostalgia
Date night with the wife while in grad school. Although not Ruth Chris, it was the only time we had steak while in college.

Re: The gold room nostalgia
A definite splurge which happened a little too often so towards the end of the semester I'd end up eating Kraft Mac & Cheese for meals which were filling and super cheap.

Re: The gold room nostalgia
Always good eats at the Gold Room. I remember toward the end of every semester when the girls with too much money left on the meal card with sell it for pennies on the dollar. This allowed my friends and I to dine at the Gold Room with regularity at the end of each semester.

Felt like the height of dining sophistication to a 19-year-old who otherwise mostly ate at the food court, Los Arcos and Murphy's.

Re: The gold room nostalgia
Love the old pics, but does anyone have any pics from the 90's. Also, does anyone know when the Gold Room shut down?

Re: The gold room nostalgia
It shut down likely because the university could make more money leasing out the space than they could offering a “premium” option themselves.
Give 'em hell!

I lived off campus.I could buy a $20 dollar book from a freshman leaving school for $6.I could treat a girl for 1/3 the price.Money I could use to by beer,wine,to buy what I need to make her a strawberry libation.

Re: The gold room nostalgia
I got there just after they renamed it--Blue Ridge Cafe, I think?--in 2000. Most people still called it the Gold Room, even if that's just something we heard from upperclassmen, and you could still get a steak.

Re: The gold room nostalgia
If you were class of 83 you may be talking about a guy who lived next to me my sophomore year...black guy named Ulysses.. he played the Gold Room often. Huge Paul McCartney fan, collected imports and non released songs. Nicest guy you could ever meet.

Re: The gold room nostalgia
I would buy meal books from female friends on the cheap and spent most of it there. They had a decent menu and really good food. Seems like flounder was a weekend special. Oh yeah , real butter on a good baked potato.Sure toped the B I ....
