There were four of us and we all drank coffee with cream. When we caught the eye of the server for refills, we also asked for creamers. The coffee came, but no creamers. We asked for them again, still no creamers. We asked two different servers (one of whom had asked if we needed anything!), but again, no creamers. We finally gave up. It would be nice if, once the meal was served, the server would periodically check on the diners, would listen to what was said, and then provide what was needed.

We loved having neighbors to dine with in the dining room. Cynthia is a superb waitress attending to all our wants. The temperature of the room was a little cool for the two women. All 4 of us ordered the salmon tart. One was disappointed that there was not much salmon in the tart. One hour was sufficient time.

Considering the fact that our BSTW Main Dining Room dine-in service was closed down for in person dining on 5 January 2022 and I canceled our reservation for 7 January 2022 on 5 January 2022, I don't believe that this review is applicable.

Wonderful brunch. Delicious choices of food. The fried chicken with the pecan waffle is my favorite. Husband had omelet made to his satisfaction. Firneds with us really enjoyed their first brunch--one had fried chicken and waffle. The other had an omelet with cheese, avacado, and tomato. Both were very pleased with their choices. The waldorf salad is a winner. Great sevice by Hayley who anticipated our every need.

Our group was seated at three different tables very comfortably. At my table our waitress, Irene, was very attentive and patient with one of the women at my table who was not very pleasant to Irene since this resident’s salmon was undercooked. Irene handled it beautifully with respect for the resident and maturity to know not to take it personally. Five star service rating for Irene! The rest of us at the table thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

The food was delicious, beautifully displayed and the choices were varied just enough. Our kitchen and waitstaff were extraordinarily attentive to our every need. They watched and anticipated without us even needing to ask. I, strongly, believe that reservations make a very big difference...not only for staff but also for us residents and our guests. Thanks to all of you for a wonder Fathers Day celebration. Donna & Gary Bowman

The food overall has improved, but to serve on St Patrick's day Corn Beef without cabbage is not appropriate. The Tenderloin on the Saturday evening meal was excellent as well as the fish meals. It will be nice to increase our wait staff for a more smooth flowing meal. Breakfast needs to be started again. The residents always look forward to a very good breakfast with friends.

We had roast beef and ribs; both were excellent. Yvonne was our server and was so nice and efficient.

Everything was excellent - the food, the service, etc. the only thing missing was the ambiance of what our big occasion buffets used to be, and we're hoping that will change for the better when more wait staff is hired and we can go back to buffet lines but with elegance, not in the servery line.

Dining services continue to amaze me. They deal with shortages in staffing as well as supply sources while keeping the standards of service and quality high. I don't usually give 10s on anything, since only God's works to be perfect, but people who work on Christmas Day deserve 10s across the board.

Trying to book a specific time which is not available requires reentering both the date and party size. Could the software retain the "available" entries and just ask for a (in this case) different time? Better yet, give back a list of available times. I ended up asking for each time slot only to find there was nothing for a table of 4. I did wonder if I could have asked for two 2's or for a bigger table and take pot luck on filling the last two seats.

We are usually pleased with the food....sometimes not hot (temperature) as I like but otherwise fine. I ordered the $17 tilapia - are you kidding $17 for a thin piece of inexpensive tilapia and mostly covered in breading.....there was little or no taste. Very disappointing for the price. Please know I am not a complainer but you DID ask. We love all the servers just happened this night was very slow but that isn't a big deal in our book.

Everything was GREAT! Kudos to cooks, servers, and wait Staff. Wonderful time had by all. It would be nice to have the breakfast stations available every Sunday Brunch (like old times).

Everything was fine. Berlin did a wonderful job keeping up with several tables . There was lots of running to bring drinks, food, and refills.
We felt that the experience was very pleasurable having delicious food and visiting with friends in the Dining Room.

We enjoyed the service wait staff. Some need to check the diners to see if they need refills on beverages. I was disappointed when I couldn’t request a better table location away from the hot windows! We were denied by the hostess she said the other tables weren’t set. Yet we were the only diners next to the hot window area!?

Food was outstanding and the presentation was grand. I was concerned at first that we were seated in the Helen LeMay room. However, we found out the room was quieter than the main dining area, and we could converse easily.

Understand the display was very, very impressive and the food was plentiful. The food was better than 5 stars. Many thanks to all involved with Dining Services for bringing their top game and providing everything for a spectacular celebration. We appreciate how special you made our Christmas Brunch!

The evening was a big disappointment for myself and my guests (Table of 7). Reservation time was 5:00 p.m., we checked-in with the staff, so they knew we were ready and waiting to be seated, but we were not seated and had to ask several times when we would be seated. Finally, we were seated at 5:30 p.m. The food order was not taken until 6:30 p.m. We had to ask for bread as some guests had medical need to eat and others were hungry and needed something to eat until the food arrived around 6:50 p.m. Judith had to step in to help with the service.

The wait-staff were attentive and made sure we would enjoy our meal. The food was good, but bland. The coffee was, as usual, very bitter, maybe a little too strong. A milder roast would be better. We're looking forward to it being like it used to be. It was nice to be eating with folks at other tables.

It was a wonderful dinner to celebrate our beginning to return to normal! The Valentine’s Day dinner was outstanding. Our table ordered each of the entrees and we were all very happy with our choices. From the soup to the dessert everything was delicious, even though some substitutes had to be made. All was excellent.
Lori DeWitt was a cheerful hostess despite having to work overtime to seat everyone. The wait staff was great. Our waitress, Teresa, had been working since 8 that morning and was getting really tired by 7:30 but she brought us everything we requested and kept on smiling. Our senior staff were everywhere helping new staff, and we even saw line cooks helping in the dining room. We are grateful to have a staff so willing to go out of their way to provide a special meal for us, even when it meant working outside their own sphere.
It was a great way to start a new beginning, and from all the happy faces in the dining room we could see that everyone was glad to be able to socialize with friends and neighbors together again.
Thank you for all the effort it took to make so many residents happy all at once!

All food services staff are so courteous, professional and kind! I am impressed every day. I never hear them complain or make excuses and I admire they way they remember names. I think the staff all do a wonderful job.
I think the food is very good - some items not so much but I am overall happy.
I understand about the short staffing and yet staff are still courteous!

I loved being back in the dining room with friends. Our servers were top notch and the food came in a timely manner but I was disappointed in my salmon. I ordered it to be cooked to medium doneness and specified, “not dry”, but it was very dry and stiff. The value of the meal has lessened after reopening since the meal no longer comes with a salad or beverage.
