| - When it comes to wanting to feel healthy eating at a buffet, Soup Plantation or Sweet Tomatoes is always first pick for me. I enjoy the pricing, the foods that are normally on the healthier side, as well as the soups, pastas and desserts.
This time I will say the restaurant was lacking a bit. The salads were amazing. They had a broccoli in a sauce with bacon, cashews, cranberries and other ingredients that made for a sweet and delectable and enjoyable bite. I enjoy all the dressings and cheeses available, especially the blue cheeses, because its my favorite.
As for the soups, that is what normally limits when I go. I love me broccoli cheddar, but there was none yesterday. I wasn't a fan of trying most of the other soups, though the pumpkin bisque was nice. I think sp/st has such a great chicken noodle soup, however, yesterday was somewhat of an exception. Though the soup was good, it could have been great, like it normally is, if they would have added some salt or flavoring. The chili is always a favorite of mine too, but I guess they've changed recipes over the years... so instead of a mashed thicker chili, it was more of a liquid soup with beans in it. (I used to enjoy putting a corn bread piece in the bowl and dousing it with chili). I'm not the biggest fan of this new chili, though still good, not as great.
The breads were all good. The pizza like bites were delicious. The corn bread was a star in the buffet, as usual. Extremely delicious. I really enjoyed the baked sweet potato with maple butter (I ate 2, wanted another but was extremely full).
Pastas were a let down this visit. Normally very rich and delicious, this time only tasted like pasta with store bought sauce. Not bad, but not great as normal.
As for desserts: chocolate mousse is sugar free and should not be consumed by anyone lol I'm not a fan, and never have been. Sugar free isn't good, but I guess it is healthy. The pumpkin spice muffins were delicious, and as were the brownie muffin which you can put underneath a nice thick blanket of ice cream!
All in all, I enjoy this place, but it could be better as it used to be.
