“Last year at the Florence events center I won a free meal pass , Many months later I took them up on the offer ...
For dinner I ordered a cheese burger with chips , the fresh salad bar was better than most good restaurants , the burger was very good ,.the apple pie with ice cream was out of this world , + great coffee . I think the server's name is John. Anyway , he was very nice and was always there when I needed something. I talked with several residents , and they were all happy living there. I am 73 and may look into moving in. My impression is that this place is a class act.“
