Simple Servings
The Simple Servings station at The Commons on the Green provides safe and flavorful food choices for our guests with food allergies, celiac disease, and those who prefer simple foods. All items served at this station are prepared with ingredients that do not contain milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, or gluten. The menu rotates daily and includes a variety of protein such as chicken, beef, lentils; starches like potato, quinoa, and rice; and vegetables, including a rotating salad option.
Simple Servings is available for everyone to enjoy. We ask that guests do not bring food from other food stations and only use the plates provided by our servers at Simple Servings. While Simple Servings is designed to allow guests an easy way to avoid food allergens and gluten, we encourage those with special dietary needs to connect with our dining management team. Read more
Simple Servings menus are prepared using separate equipment/utensils, preparation areas, and storage areas to minimize the potential cross-contact of food allergens or gluten.
Simple Servings team members are carefully trained to safely prepare and serve these simple nutritious meals. We provide training throughout the year for all employees and Simple Servings managers, supervisors, and cooks who have successfully completed AllerTrain® U certification training. If you have questions about Simple Servings meals, ingredients, or preparation, please contact our dining services team at
