Dining room
From DwarfFortressWiki
A dining room is a room defined from a table. Dwarves prefer to eat in an unassigned dining room (i.e. belonging to "Nobody") sitting in an adjacent chair. They dislike eating on the ground, standing while eating, and sharing a table. The ideal dining room has plenty of tables and chairs, with only one chair at each table. The exceptions are nobles and appointees, some of whom require a personal dining room, which need only include one table and chair.
If no dining room is available, dwarves will eat at any undefined table. If not even a table is available, they will sit on the ground to eat, which generates an unhappy thought. Conversely, eating in a well decorated dining room will generate happy thoughts. Well appointed dining rooms are an easy way to contribute to the happiness of your dwarves.
