First-Class Dining, Right at Home
Approachable gourmet cuisine. Exceptional chefs. Two dining experiences designed around you.
At Knollwood Place Apartments, great food is part of everyday life.
Our dining experience combines the quality and creativity of restaurant dining with the ease of having it all just steps from your apartment. Enjoy a full-service dinner at Willow’s Grill, stop by The Nosh for something casual, or start your weekday morning over a complimentary breakfast with neighbors.
Behind it all is a talented culinary team committed to scratch-made food, fresh ingredients and warm hospitality.
This isn’t simply dining for convenience. It’s food worth looking forward to.
Willow’s Grill
An exceptional restaurant experience—without leaving home.
Led by James Beard-nominated Chef Nat Burns, our culinary team brings creativity, technique and restaurant-level execution to a menu designed to be enjoyed regularly—not just on special occasions.
Nearly 90% of our menu is made from scratch, from house-made soups and sauces to fresh-baked breads and desserts, with fresh herbs, seasonal ingredients and locally sourced products incorporated whenever possible.
And exceptional dining doesn’t have to mean exceptional prices. Every entrée at Willow’s Grill is priced under $20, making it easy to meet friends for dinner, invite family to join you or simply decide you don’t feel like cooking tonight.
It’s approachable gourmet dining, right in the heart of your community.
At Willow’s Grill, you’ll enjoy:
The Nosh Nook
Your neighborhood bistro is right downstairs.
Some days call for dinner at Willow’s Grill. Other days, you just want a great sandwich, a cup of coffee or something easy to take home.
That’s where The Nosh Nook comes in.
Conveniently located in the foyer, The Nosh Nook offers homemade sandwiches, soups and freshly prepared pastries alongside grab-and-go beverages, frozen pizzas and convenient dinner options.
Stop in for a casual lunch with a neighbor. Pick up something for dinner. Grab a snack on your way out. Or settle in with a cup of coffee.
The Nosh is designed to give you quality and convenience in one place—like having your favorite neighborhood café just steps from your apartment.
Start the Day Together
Complimentary weekday breakfast.
Sometimes the best part of breakfast isn’t breakfast.
Knollwood residents can start weekday mornings with complimentary breakfast, offering an easy opportunity to enjoy a meal, catch up with neighbors and ease into the day.
Come down when you feel like company. Stay for the conversation.
It’s one of those simple conveniences that quickly becomes part of life at Knollwood.
Fresh, Seasonal & Made From Scratch
You can taste the difference.
Great dining starts with great ingredients—and a culinary team that knows what to do with them.
Our chefs prioritize scratch cooking, fresh herbs, seasonal ingredients, and locally sourced products whenever possible. Nearly 90% of menu items are made from scratch, giving our culinary team greater control over flavor, quality, and ingredients.
From soups and sauces to breads, pastries and desserts, there’s real culinary craft happening behind the scenes every day.
Your Recipes. Our Kitchen.
Some of the best recipes come with a story.
Food has a way of connecting us to people, places, and memories.
Through our Resident Recipe Showcase, residents are invited to share favorite family recipes with our culinary team. Selected dishes are prepared and featured on the menu, and some resident favorites may even become regular offerings.
It’s one more way the dining experience at Knollwood is shaped by the people who live here.
A Seat at the Table
Residents help shape the dining experience.
We want to know what’s working, what residents love, and what they’d like to see next.
Our Dining Council brings residents, culinary team members and community leadership together to share feedback, discuss menus and continually enhance the dining experience.
Because a great restaurant listens to its guests—and at Knollwood, those guests are also our neighbors.
Two Dining Experiences. Plenty of Choice.
Willow’s Grill and The Nosh give you the best of both worlds: elevated restaurant dining and convenient, high-quality everyday options.
Cook in your apartment when you want to. Meet friends at Willow’s Grill when you’d rather have someone else do the cooking. Grab something from The Nosh when your day calls for easy.
The choice is yours.
And that’s really what dining at Knollwood is about: more choices, less work and really good food.
