Meals are certainly one of the highlights of the Hillsboro day. Hillsboro's chef creates interesting and varied daily menus with an emphasis on fresh, natural ingredients and local produce.

At every meal there is always a wide array of dishes from which to choose, so everyone can satisfy their appetite (or diet) in exactly the way they wish.

The luncheon buffet features a delicious selection of salads, fruit and cold meats. A separate table has different hot entrees such as roast beef, lamb and turkey each day. An outside grill offers a wide selection of delicious grilled items.

There's also a beverage table with cold and hot drinks and a dessert table that always offers a choice of irresistible desserts.

The 4 p.m. afternoon tea in the Malcolm House living room offers an excellent selection of teas, cookies and sandwiches.

Dinner has a more formal style. Members dress for dinner by 7 p.m. and frequently meet friends for cocktails and conversation in the Montgomery Lounge or the poolside terrace.

The dinner crowd then moves on to be served a full-course meal in the elegant Hillsboro dining room. Each night there's a selection of at least five entrees offered. If you take wine there is an excellent, well-priced list to choose from.

Every meal at Hillsboro comes with a view. Whether you choose to sit under umbrellas along the open terraces or by the panoramic windows of the Sea Room and Hillsboro dining room, there's always a splendid seascape to look out upon.
