On Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2019. The Bookworms Book Club met at Atria Golden Creek to discuss our book of the month, \"Where The Crawdads Sing\" by Delia Owens. Following our book discussion, we went to the Private Dining Room for lunch. The theme for the day was Halloween Is Coming and the luncheon guests found the table decorated in a festive Halloween theme. Many thanks must be given to the Atria Staff for the wonderful meal that followed. Chef Ivan and The Restaurant Manager had met with the hostess of the day to plan a marvelous menu. He even prepared a printed menu that welcomed the Book Club and listed all our choices for a wonderful cuisine which included Choice of Starter, Choice of Entrée, and Choice of Desserts. Everyone raved at the choices available. Maraya our designated waitress was very charming and very efficient in taking our orders and serving us. The guests were very pleased and expressed their amazement with the quality of the food. The Restaurant Manager, Juan Villanueva, saw to it that everything involved with the meal went smoothly. His warm personality put everyone at ease involved with the meal. The kitchen staff must be thanked for the preparation of the food and the clean up staff must also be thanked. The hostess has received many thank you calls, cards and texts raving about the quality of the meal. The hostess cannot express enough appreciation for the professionalism of the Chef, of the Restaurant Manager and our server, plus the kitchen staff. It is a joy to live at Atria Golden Creek.

The rooms at Brookdale Irvine were impeccable. It was really more luxury than anything else. They seemed to be using more luxurious textures and flooring that were a higher grade. Their dining facility was also pretty amazing. I didn't see a pool, but they had a media room and mentioned that they play bingo. There was more interaction in this community. I would rate them a 5.

It was beautiful, but we can't afford it. The facilities were nice and wonderful. The amenities were nice and furnishings were outstanding.

This property has the grandeur of a timeless estate. All the staff is warm and caring to its residents. The chef is from France and all the food is gourmet. Beautiful gardens adorn this community. A grand fireplace is situated in the salon.
