05
Ask About AARP Discounts

Choosing the Right Meal for Your Dietary Needs
Grilled seafood is always a healthier choice than fried. Atlantic Salmon and Grilled Shrimp are the lowest calorie options on the senior menu. Both are high in protein and easy to digest.
If watching sodium, ask your server to prepare your dish without added salt. Request sauces on the side. Swap fries for steamed broccoli or seasoned rice.
Guests with smaller appetites do well with the Scampi or Lobster Bisque starter. Pair either with a side salad for a complete but light meal.
