Yep, that's right. Dinner is the evening meal.
I know they used to call school lunch 'school dinners' which really bugged me
We had a disaster of a time at our lunch out - each course took over an hour to reach us and only did so after each complaint, so we left without paying the balance (we had paid 2/3rds as a deposit) - everybody was doing the same. Jr couldn't sit down any more after 3 hours, had to leave anyway! Saved me £30 though
ETA: Dinner in the dictionary: "the main meal of the day, usually the meal you eat in the evening but sometimes, in Britain, the meal eaten in the middle of the day".
If you eat a main meal twice a day, the one in the middle is lunch, the one in the evening is dinner
