Puzzles me why you would keep going back to the same restaurant to tell the owner “over and over” when there are plenty of restaurants that you like better. It must be very frustrating for a man of your emence talents and intellect to have people not do exactly as you say. What could they be thinking? Yeah. Let ‘em grow broke!

In contrast, the Sweet Tomatoes in Tampa has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, with friendly employees, somewhat subdued lighting, and a wide variety of made-from-scratch soups and breads accompanying the extensive salad bar. Also available are baked and sweet potatoes, and rice.

FYI, the corporate parent of Sweet Tomatoes has filed for bankruptcy. Might be a real estate opening soon on 441.

It is more than four times the size of the one in The Villages, and also has a small private dining room that can be reserved for meetings. The desert bar includes fresh fruit as well as cookies and soft serve ice cream.

They have been in business for over a decade, and it's one of my favorite places to eat. It's a shame that the one in The Villages doesn't compare well to the one in Tampa.

It sounds like you would have fared better at the Golden Corral, except for the fact that it has no snob appeal.

You might get the attention of management if you post your evaluation on the Google review page.

That was almost a year ago. The bankrupt parent company sold the remaining restaurants.
