Meals and chef get standout praise

Dining is a major bright spot, with multiple reviews praising the quality of meals and special diets.

Multiple residents and families describe the food as good or delicious and call out the chef and dining experience. Several reviews also mention the community managing restrictive dietary needs, which shows up again in how people talk about meal preparation for their loved ones.
