Enjoy fresh & local cuisines in our grand dining room with a picturesque view

Residents enjoy fresh & local foods in our grand dining room. We set the scene with large windows with beautiful views, community dining tables, and cathedral ceilings filled with laughter and the aroma of delicious meals plated to appeal to the eye’s palate.

The dining experience starts with happy hour and transitions to excellent culinary cuisine. Our atmosphere ignites companionship, socialization and the residents enjoy bonding over good food.

For our “Maine” ingredients, we serve a lobster feast on a platter with corn on the cob. A morning favorite is our fresh Maine blueberry pancakes.
