My only comment is that it took "forever" to turn in our
order and wait for our order. They seemed to be critically
short of waiters.

Other than waiting for coffee, everything was fine.
Suggest putting a copy of the Sunday Brunch menu in the monthly Bon Appetit, especially since residents have to go through the line instead of orders being taken from the table service.

I ordered my hamburger last night (Wed) rare and it came back well done. The bun was soggy. I don't know what happened to the onion rings which were formerly the best and most dependably good thing on the menu. However, last night they were dry and tasteless--definitely not the onion rings of the past. I did not send my food back because everyone else was eating, the service had already been slow and I didn't want to hold up the group up for a hamburger. Overall experience and ambiance had to do with the company at our table. My rating was for Wednesday nights dinner.
Tuesday night I had the Tender Blue which was excellent and cooked to rare perfection. It has always been a winner.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 service is great. My last visit on 11/15/21 Ruby and Yvonne were exceptional n serving our table of six plus getting all of our requests quickly. The food is improving. The pork ribs are devious...so tender plus very meaty. Why can we not get the black tablecloths back on the tables at night on other days than Sunday or holidays. Thank you.

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.

Judith and Caitlin did a great job welcoming us and seating us immediately. Having the shrimp and spinach dip appetizer on the table was a nice touch in addition to the lovely white tablecloths and fall decor. Our table server, Ivonne, was prompt and attentive, greeting us like family. We felt honored by having so many servers in the cafeteria line. It was a bit discombobulated picking up a tray by the door, then getting in line by the cashiers counter. Next time, perhaps the trays could be put near the cashiers counter where the line began. It would have been a much nicer experience for families to be waited on at the tables but then, if it was a meal in our own homes, we would have had everyone parade through the kitchen to serve themselves! We were thankful to have such a delicious meal prepared for us. Loved the dessert buffet! We truly appreciate the commitment of all our Dining Facilities Staff for giving their time on a holiday to prepare the tables, cook a traditional Thanksgiving meal, and serve us so graciously.

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 were at the late seating but I will have to say food was good and turkey was especially good Took forever for the waiter to take drink orders. I understand we were understaffed but he was ;NOT happy. All in all is was a nice day and we heard a number of compliments. We had our family here so we especially wanted it nice
and they felt the good vibes.

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.

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

FOR FIRST MEAL IN THE REDONE DINING ROOM BECAUSE OF THE COVID PROBLEMS, THEY SERVED THE MEAL QUICKLY AND ALL WAS FINE. THE DINING ROOM WAS NICELY FILLED WITH DINERS, TALKING AND EACH TABLE ENJOYING SOME EXTENDED COMPANY THAT'S BEEN MISSING FOR MONTHS HERE. I TRIED TO LOG IN ON THE 10 SPOT, BUT THE WEBSITE WOULDN'T RECORD ANY NUMBER.

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!

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!?

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.

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.
