Dining

Mercy by the Sea Retreat and Conference Center believes in serving food that feeds the soul.  We make every effort to ensure that all who dine with us experience the best in Mercy hospitality. We prepare simple healthy meals using local and organic produce as much as possible.

We can host meals for groups of up to 100 people.

In keeping with Mercy by the Sea’s hospitality, there is a beverage station open 24/7 in the Catherine McAuley Dining Room offering coffee, hot and iced tea, orange juice, cranberry juice and water.

Mercy by the Sea’s meals provide a balance of nutritious foods. Mornings we alternate hot and Continental breakfasts. Hot meals always include a protein, starch, a vegetable and an alternate item as a vegetarian protein. A full salad bar is available at lunch and dinner and includes all the above.

Special Food Needs

We regret that special menus for individuals cannot be created. Guests who have extensive food limitations or require vegan or gluten-free meals, are allergic to nuts, gluten or other foods, especially those with severe allergies or with specific dietary restrictions may supplement our offerings with their own special items or bring prepared foods. The Center does not have the ability to provide for medically necessary diets, such as allergy-free diets; personal preferences; or diets designed for individual weight loss.

A guest refrigerator and microwave are available for this purpose.
