Actually thinking back on it now again & IIRC the CW dining area of the ORD terraces, was nothing more than what could best described as a corridor with tables & chairs packed in there. Also we had to clear way the table ourselves after the previous passenger/s had eaten onto an ajoining table.

by the time we had left, that table had not been cleaned by the staff.

This was my first “pre flight dining” experience. A few months later at IAD, while the food was truly awful, the “dining room” was a least more airy, open & somewhat better staffed.

But still very poor for a premium product
