A Wide Variety of Dining Options – A Taste For Every Palate
At Kendal~Crosslands Communities, sharing a meal together is essential to resident engagement in our communities. Our dining programs in our active retirement communities offer flexibility with various menu options, venues, and, of course, the flavor that satisfies many culinary preferences. From Sunday brunch to Lobster Fests, from a quick lunch in the Coffee Shop to a relaxing evening meal, we understand the importance of a variety of meal programs, multiple dining rooms, dining al fresco, and healthy nutrition programs, just to name a few, that meet and satisfy resident’s culinary delights.
Start Your Day Off Right
An active life calls for a great start to the day. Residents enjoy Waffle Wednesdays, omelets, fresh fruit and creamy oatmeal with all the trimmings, specialty breads, and more. Our Coffee Shop/Cafe dining venues offer a fast way to get your day started or a place to relax and plan your day.
Maybe a Quick Lunch…
Residents are busy. Enjoying a mid-day meal in our Cafe or Coffee Shop is perfect. Some lunchtime culinary delights include: paninis and other wonderfully crafted sandwiches, hearth oven pizza, vegetable crepes or tofu saute bar, cheeseburgers, fries, and other lunchtime favorites such as full salad bar, specialty soups and chili. Something for everyone.
Dinner Is A Time To Savor With Friends
Relax and enjoy the fellowship with other residents over a meal. Here’s what’s for dinner this evening: Chicken Lemongrass Soup, full salad bar featuring a sweet potato salad… and for the main course, try beef kabobs, carved stuffed pork tenderloin, wheat spaghetti with spicy lentil sauce, roasted beets, mashed cauliflower, and for dessert, sweet treats made by our pastry chef. Bon appetit!
