If today is one of our special themed nights, you could be tempted by a unique holiday menu, or one celebrating an international cuisine, complete with related residence activities and events. If you need a pick-me-up between meals, don’t hesitate to grab one of our freshly prepared snacks from our bistro. You are also welcome to invite guests into our main dining room, or host a family dinner in our gorgeous private dining room, where catering services are available too.
