Dining combines restaurant-style service, practical dietary flexibility, and social moments families can picture before they tour.
Restaurant-style and a la carte ordering
Residents can order from a changing menu each day, with flexible options and table service in comfortable dining spaces.
Soups made from scratch
Chef-led preparation keeps meals familiar but varied, including soups made from scratch and rotating specials.
Weekly Happy Hour and private dining
Weekly Happy Hour and private dining rooms help families celebrate birthdays, milestones, and everyday visits together.
Residents help shape the menu
A monthly food committee gives residents a direct voice in menu planning, specials, and favorite returning dishes.

Residents help set the menu
Dietary accommodations, menu preferences, and mealtime traditions are reviewed with residents so dining stays practical and personal.

My mom has lived at the Gardens at Columbine for over six years now, and she just turned 90 last week. Clearly, she likes it here, and the staff have always taken good care of her. I would definitely recommend the Gardens at Columbine here in Littleton.
