Of course, no fine dining experience is complete without dessert.
Pastry Chef Ashley Yedeski, who has been with The Glenview for 15 years, creates sweet endings residents rave about — from elegant tiramisu to homemade pies to rich, fudgy brownies.
“Ashley’s desserts are legendary,” said Chef David. “They are as beautiful as they are delicious and always make the meal memorable.”
Residents certainly agree. As resident Jim Stahley put it, “I have great will power until they show me the desserts. I can’t resist! And the service is perfect. Dining at The Glenview has exceeded my expectations in every way.”
Special Events That Feel Like Celebrations
Beyond nightly dinners and daily á la carte lunches, Chef David and his team also design spectacular culinary experiences for community celebrations, private resident events, and themed holiday menus.
At the recent Glenview Community Anniversary Celebration, more than 200 residents and staff, enjoyed a lavish buffet. “Special events allow us to spotlight the amazing creativity of our culinary team,” said Chef David. “It’s restaurant-level cooking on a big stage.”
Chef David also works directly with residents to cater private celebrations. “If a resident wants to host a special dinner or celebrate a family event, we’re happy to make that happen,” he said.
Resident Jeanne Findlater often takes advantage of that opportunity. “I have dinner every night in our beautiful dining room and enjoy the most delicious, wholesome food,” said Jeanne. “The service is exquisite. And if I ever want to host a party, I just reserve the private dining room for my guests. It’s wonderful!”
