Aboard refit Constitution-class vessels during the 2290s, the officer's mess was a long room, lined by several large windows that seemed to face out into space or an image of a starfield. Generally darkly lit, the room was dominated by a large, curved table and an elaborate chandelier-type ornament affixed to the ceiling. The bulkhead opposite the windows featured painted portraits of several historical figures. The mess aboard the USS Enterprise-A displayed portraits of Abraham Lincoln of Earth and Sarek of Vulcan.
