Dining

If this is the first page you’ve visited on our website, you’re not alone—and we don’t blame you one bit. Our culinary team understands how important great food and dining experiences are. That’s why we work to make every one of the meals fresh, nutritious and mouthwateringly flavorful. Most importantly, we continually ask for—and act on—your input because your taste is the most important ingredient in everything we serve.

The menu at Westerwood rotates monthly, and our chef’s specials are constantly being updated. But don’t worry—your favorite comfort foods and go-to dishes will always be available because some things should never go away. Here, we’re always cooking up something new to please your palate and nourish your soul.

Comfort food favorites, creative classics and global cuisines—all inspired by you. Westerwood’s culinary team is focused on our resident and guest culinary experience. We are constantly updating our menus to reflect resident favorites, along with culinary classics. Our grill menu is made up of healthy options, flatbread, pizzas, and fish of the day.

Lively conversation and lots of laughter fill our main dining room, where our chef-crafted meals are served restaurant-style by friendly servers who will get to know your name and drink preferences with remarkable speed.  

Just off the main dining room, the full-service tables of our immaculately landscaped patio fill up quickly on nice days, so make sure to hurry!  

With all there is to do at Westerwood, this self-service coffee and drink area is a great place to run into friends.  

Fuel up for a full day’s activities without slowing down. Grab a healthy snack, salad or sandwich on the go. Or reward yourself with a sweet treat. You earned it.

If the walls of this welcoming enclave inside our main dining room could talk, they’d tell beautiful (and mouthwatering) stories of special family meals, celebrations and much more. They might also tell you about how our party planning and catering service made the whole affair unforgettably easy.

“… the staff in the dining room, they are the cutest, nicest young people. I mean, we ask for different things like a different salad plate or a different fork, and the staff always delivers with a smile.”

“If there is an empty seat at a dining table, I am invited to sit and join them. I always feel at home.”

Sporting events. Holidays. Birthdays. Fridays. We love finding reasons to create themed libations and delicious snacks to start your evening. And our TGIF Happy Hour every Friday at 3pm is a great way to kick off the weekend!

Perfectly executed classics, chef’s specials and your favorite beverages make this celebratory meal something the entire community looks forward to.

With limited seatings, you’ll want to sign up quickly for these special culinary delights, cooked-to-order meals with wine pairings. In addition to enjoying Westerwood’s finest cuisine, you’ll also enjoy chatting with our chef and culinary team.

Whether it’s Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day, our gourmet holiday meals are worth celebrating. And you don’t have to shop, cook or clean a thing!

Holidays aren’t the only time we cook up something special. Our summer grill-outs and Oktoberfest events are two of the many ways we make life delicious all year long.

As an Independent Living resident, your monthly fee includes one chef-prepared meal of your choice daily and a monthly Sunday brunch. When you taste our food for the first time, you’ll understand why we also allow residents to pay for additional meals on the same day.

Assisted Living, Memory Care, Short-Term Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care residents enjoy three chef-crafted meals daily in our dining room or their apartment.

Visitors are welcome to join you for any meal for an additional charge.
