Resident Favorites & Friendly Connections
At Amavida, dining is about more than delicious meals — it’s about connection, comfort, and choice. For many residents, shared meals are a highlight of the day and a chance to unwind with friends or meet someone new.
As one guest shared, “The meals are first class, and they are truly the highlight of my days. As far as dining goes, I love that there are options — there is the elegant formal restaurant for special evenings or just nights you want to spoil yourself, and then there is the casual indoor/outdoor dining at the Lakeside Grill, which is more relaxed but just as tasty.”
This flexibility, chef-prepared cuisine, and welcoming spaces set our senior living dining experience apart from other retirement communities. Whether it’s a special occasion or a casual lakeside lunch, every meal at Amavida is made to feel special.
