| - Would have given it one star, but the food quality was solid.
The whole thing comes down to the stupid card concept and the over complicating of meal ordering. We go to Sweet Tomatoes/Souplantation/Souper Salad/Fresh Choice BECAUSE IT'S A BUFFET!!!!! The idea that I need some carry a card around to track what I eat is ludicrous! Talk about over complicating things.
Ordered the build your own salad and barely filled the bowl. Of course, only having like 6 leaves of romaine lettuce to get while there was a bucket of spinach didn't help the cause at all, but I digress. That was one card swipe and it covered the salad, soup, desert and bread. If I would have wanted to throw in a slice of pizza (which isn't there any more) that's another swipe; visit the rotisserie = another swipe. Go to the drink island (WTF!) that was another swipe. Point being is that if you're running a restaurant of any kind and can't track what's on a tray, then it's likely too complicated. Just the idea of not being to go to a soda fountain and not have glasses waiting is mind boggling.
That said, the food was good, environment was nice, but way too uppity for what it is....A BUFFET!!!! Whoever the MBA that came up with this idea should be flogged and just reset it to what was. The price is certainly cheaper and while it's a one trip salad bar, you can load that mofo up and take home the extra. But still...who wants to do that at....A BUFFET! Oh...and another thing...why church up all the salad dressings? Is it too hard to just have Italian? Yep. Gotta have "basalmic vinagrette," because Italian is too peasant-like or something.
I suspect this place will be closed within 6 months. Sad because we actually liked Sweet Tomatoes.
