Just got back from my first and probably last visit.
First of all, I have to agree with VillagesPL. It is very confusing when you first go in. It appears to be a cafeteria style buffet where you load up and then pay at the end of the line. I didn't realize that there is another whole buffet station after you pay.
I will say that the food was very good, but this exemplifies the problems that I encountered when I tried to go vegetarian. The entire menu is highly carbohydrate based. After the salad bar, there is basically pizza (which they call focaccia) and pasta. There is also a lot of bread and potatoes.
We tried a few of the soups and they were good except that the chilis were basically thin soups and not thick chilis that I'm used to.
I also think that VPL is right about the menu being misleading. There is an item called roasted eggplant. Turns out that it's penne pasta in red sauce with a little bit of eggplant which I could not find.
It's a great place if you want to load up on carbs, but I have to agree with VPL once again. Other then the plain salad ingredients, there is nothing healthy here unless you want to dine on lettuce, cucumber and broccoli.
Not a place for me. Glad I had a coupon for 20% off, because it would take me forever to eat $15.00 worth of lettuce.
