Thank you for your continued support of Prairie Star Restaurant and for me in my role as the Support Services Director. One of the things I love most about working at Meadowlark Hills is the always-present opportunity to openly share feedback, suggestions, appreciation and even the occasional concern. 

One concern that I’ve heard frequently in the past couple of months is the lack of consistency regarding the splitting of daily specials. I was fortunate enough to work with the Independent Living Resident Council and the restaurant team to come up with a fair and consistent solution. Prairie Star Restaurant will continue to offer full and small daily specials at a price that includes your choice of starter and dessert. (Or if you are like me, you can skip the starter and have two desserts!) Instead of offering a "split" full special, customers will be able to share the meal, however the shared meal will be a full special on one plate that can be divided onto an additional plate as you would like at the table. The servers are able to help divide the plate as desired. This will be the same for starters and desserts.

For example, if two people (friends, neighbors, significant other, etc.) want to share a special, they can decide to skip starter and both get desserts (or two starters and no dessert) or they can share the starter and share the dessert at the table. Don't worry, we can provide extra plates and forks. If you would like to add an extra starter the charge will be $2 per additional starter and $3 per each additional dessert.  

If you have questions regarding this update for the daily specials (or any other food-related business!), please contact me at (785) 313-0454, stop by my office or see Grace Burghart in Prairie Star Restaurant.
