Somerset Lodge

We were there for a reason: I found a postcard from a Thrift Store in my neighborhood, advertising for their Hawaiian Luau in honor of National Senior Day! But they weren’t having vendors, but instead I decided to donate some of my funky flowers for their raffle prizes. I dropped it in last week! While there, we decided to reserve two meals for their buffet luncheon held today. We were 1hr late, and there were people still in line for food. The ONLY dish they ran out were chicken shish kebab. They have tofu and beef shish kebab, too! They also ran out of rice pilaf, but I had taken the last of it, which was perfect portion for me. Their rolls have raisins in them. That’s a plus They have two kinds of salad: mixed lettuce and ambrosia, and I piled my plate as much as I can. I could have taken 2 shish kebab, they were so good! They also have three kinds of dessert. Banana ice cream, chocolate dipped coconut macaroons, and miniature lemon pies with whipped cream drizzled with toasted coconut (I could be saying this all wrong, sorry, I don’t make them, but they were so cute I had to try them, and they were yummy as well!) All photo on my profile.
The manager came by and mingled with their guests, and because she recognized me on the phone, and the lady who donated some raffle prizes, she was so awesome! I asked the manager if this is how people eat around here, or just because it’s a celebration, and she said, this is HOW they’re done EVERYDAY! They were packed, not just the dining room, but the TV /​recreation room also.
The people behind me, one gal wanted a doggie bag, my hubby said she had taken enough food for 6 people and she told bus girl they’re for her DOG, but was told — they don’t have take outs! It’s no wonder, the helpers didn’t get to eat, one lady was pigging out for 6 plates-​full of what I’ve got! Yeah, sure for her. .. D-​O-​G! I’m not giving them negative for this one, but when my hubby went to use their bathroom, he had to come back, and only one person per. When I heard someone got out of there, I told him, now he can go use their bathroom.
BTW: the winner for the raffle prizes? They weren’t announced, they will be contacted by phone.
