DELICIOUS DINING FEATURING FRESH, LOCAL INGREDIENTS.
The farm-to-table movement began in Washington and northern California in the 1960s and 70s. Today, our chef continues the tradition with locally produced vegetables, fruits, meats and seafood to create menus that are fresh and full of flavor. You’ll love the delicious seasonal options and regional favorites. Plus, unlike the standardized meal plans at other communities, Heron’s Key features our innovative Your Choice Dining program—giving you the flexibility to dine when you please and only pay for the meals you choose to enjoy.
