I like the concept of Richtree. You get a card, and then you go around to the different stations and they give you your meal and you slide your card, then at the end, you go to a register and pay for it. Simple, right?
Well, it gets a little more complicated than that. The prices are a little more than what I would like, even though my mocha cappuccino was ginormous, it was still almost $5.00. The small fruit plate was almost $3.00! I wanted to try the salmon omelette, but that was almost $10.00 so I settled for a veggie omelette. I could tell that some of the people manning the stations were new, since there was a lot of confusion going on.
On the plus side, they do have a lot of offerings, and everything is pretty fresh. There's fresh pasta (made right in front of you) meats, home made pizzas, fruit, desserts, waffles, crepes, everything. The service is minimal, and when Joe and I paid we noticed that we didn't have to include a tip. We though, hey, that's cool, until I noticed there was a service charge. ::Grumble:: I mean, all they did was clear our plates. But I think it was only like a 10% tip or something like that.
Also, this particular location is GIGANTIC, I went to find the bathrooms, and the restaurant just seemed to keep going and going. I don't think I would be in a hurry to come back here honestly, but I think it's a great place for families that have picky children. There's even a clown that comes and visits.
