Gourmet Dining
To cook or not to cook, that is the question!
You have options when living at The Neighborhoods at Acacia Village in Utica, NY. If you would rather not cook, let our chefs prepare delicious meals for your dinner, breakfast or lunch in one of our flexible dining options in the Lodge. During the summer months, outdoor seating on the patio is available. If you enjoy cooking you can still prepare meals in the comfort of your own home.
