Meals get mixed feedback

Food quality shows up as both praise and criticism.

Some families say food is plentiful and delicious and that cafeteria meals are a positive part of daily life. Another review also describes the food as great. However, a critical review complains of cold food and adds concerns about care routines, which suggests meal experience can vary.
