Dinner on the Train

All Aboard an Elegant Dining Experience

We invite you to enjoy an evening of fine dining on our beautiful California Zephyr train cars as they travel through Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

Dinner on the Train is our weekly dinner train that will transport you back to the golden age of railroading. Every Friday night passengers board the vintage Silver Solarium and Silver Lariat train cars to enjoy four-courses of executive chef prepared food. A complimentary bar is available for guests and wine will be poured throughout the courses.

Guests will be delighted with remarkable cuisine in an unparalleled setting. The atmosphere on the train creates the most memorable celebrations for any special occasion. Our 1950’s renovated train cars are climate controlled and the exclusive setting lends itself perfectly to history buffs, old souls and romantics.

The food is thoughtfully prepared on the train, made from scratch with the highest quality of flavor and presentation in mind. Menu’s will change every two weeks starting in June. Click here to view the menu for June 7 – July 26. A Vegan meal is available upon request at least one week prior to departure date. Please call 800-468-4070 ext. 240 or email . No other dietary restrictions can be accommodated for.

The excursion departs every Friday through October from Rockside Station at 7:30 p.m. Guests are encouraged to board at 7 p.m. to enjoy cocktails, appetizers, and roam about the California Zephyr train cars.

Ask CVSR volunteers about the rich history around, above and within the very train you are riding in! Excellent service awaits you as servers will be on board to walk you through every course.
