Okay, first let me say, we didn't actually eat their food so I can't comment on how tasty (or not tasty) the their food is (although it did look good). However, we went in thinking we were still going to Sweet Tomato only to be bombarded by a youngling waitress working their and wanted to show us a tour of their new place. We left after the tour and here's why:
1. If you're going to have a different restaurant, stop calling it Sweet Tomatoes
2. WAAAAAY too cluttered. I couldn't follow what the heck the waitress was saying. She didn't even mention the part about using some kind of card that remembers everything you ordered and that's how your price total is tallied up. Nor did she tell me that essentially, you pay everything a la carte - she kind of just tap danced around that part. I had to research online to finally figure that out.
3. TOOOOO CONFUSING. You go in there and you don't know where things start or end. There's just too much going on and in the center there is a huge wine bar (I think that's what it was anyway) and I was just put off by that. I guess it's not as family friendly as it used to be?
It was just too much to soak in. I don't have time to go through a tutorial on a restaurant layout when I have a hungry 2 year old. I was still confused by how the whole place works. I had to look everything up online.
We may be back and try it sometime but if you don't feel like "learning something new" before eating your meal, I'd say skip it for the day. Sorry Sweet Tomato but this is very disappointing and we are not ones to shy away from new things!
And yes, as other people mentioned, it does feel like you are getting "nickel and dimed" - another reason we chose to skip it. Don't keep the Sweet Tomatoes name if you're not going to keep the same concept!
