I don't know what has happened but Sweet Tomatoes is quickly turning into a whole other kind of tomatoes!
I have been going here since they first opened 10-11 year ago...Back in the day I would have easily given this place 4-5 stars!
Did not recognize one employee here which is UNUSUAL-one thing that I liked about ST is that they seemed to have a very low turnover rate which usually is a good sign for a restaurant.
There was a warning sign posted on the front door stating that due to the recent bouts of weather they were out of several vegetable items...Totally understand- But the "Wonton Chicken Happiness" salad was minus the happy chicken as was the tossed chicken Tarragon salad sans the chicken...Would have appreciated the "chicken shortage" sign as well...
The veggies did look fresh-never a complaint about that. ST is pretty vigilant in keeping their salad bar clean.
The soups were good except for the pumpkin soup-it couldn't make it's mind up between being a sweet or savory-pick a side & stay there!
There was plenty of pickings from baked sweet potatoes & regular baked potatoes to the many breads & muffins...
And then we got to the pasta bar...The Garlic Alfredo was watery and about as tasty as milk soup. They were also serving scalloped potatoes-the spuds did not seem thouroughly cooked and the cheese sauce was watery. Blecch...
The apple cranberry cobbler looked like it had been sitting out since lunch and what was left would not be anough to put in one of the paper dressing cups. (It was 6pm-Prime dinner rush-I noticed that same pan out for at least 20 minutes before my husband asked the nearest server if there was fresh pan) There was & it was served.
No one offered us refills of water (never had to ask before). In the past , you could barely bat an eyelash before your dirty plates were removed by attentive staff. Ours actually piled up a bit and one server actually left the swampy looking potatoes behind which made me relive that disgusting moment.
I'm going to have to see some awesome Yelper reviews before going back...
