Dining is a mixed bag
Dining gets both praise for food and complaints about barbecue-heavy meals.
Some residents are positive about dining, mentioning great food, friendly service, and a clubhouse restaurant (Nini’s) with meals served multiple times a day. Another resident says the dining room leans heavily toward barbecue and isn’t their preference. A different review notes the food is reasonably priced but unremarkable, which helps explain the split opinions.
