Service hiccups and food timing

A few reviews cite issues with meal service timing and dining consistency.

Some residents describe delays in meal service, including waits before orders are taken, even while they say the food is still fine. Others mention that dining can require being present at a specific time, which may be inconvenient for later schedules. There are also comments about food being sparse in protein and about earlier periods when quality didn’t meet expectations. These concerns come through as exceptions, but they’re recurring enough to show up as the main friction point for some families.
