Hi Sandy! Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to give us 4 out of 5 stars - what can we do to make it a 5 Star experience for you? Let me know your dad's thoughts about the food, we are always striving to be the best we can be and your feedback is very important to us. As we open up more since the shelter in place, and we can begin to get Covid behind us, our full service dining will come back into place and our selection will be greater than what it is now. So please be patient with us, we are wanting to get back to our normal great dining experience. If you have any other concerns please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you again for your wonderful review, we are so happy your father is in our happy home!
