Lady Lake Sweet Tomatoes Featured in the Villages Newsletter
The following story was published in The Villages Homeowners Association Voice. It is a review of the Lady Lake Sweet Tomatoes, managed by Carlos Gonzalez.
“For the last six years Sweet Tomatoes has provided Villagers with the freshest, most wholesome, and delicious salads, soups and entrees. In a unique all-you-can-eat dining experience, you can create a meal tailored just for you. They have over 45 feet of fresh salad ingredients and 10 house-made dressings where you can build your own salad masterpiece. In addition, they serve a wide selection of homemade soups, pastas, baked breads and muffins, desserts and more.
The Villages Voice sat down with the Lady Lake location Restaurant Manager Carlos Gonzalez to better understand the Sweet Tomatoes approach to dining. “Let’s just say that within 24 hours of being in the ground, it’s on a refrigerated truck and on its way to us. Our food is made from scratch every day. Our salad bar buffet features over 50 fresh ingredients, including specialty tossed and prepared salads. We also serve original recipe hot pastas, hand-crafted soups, scratch-made muffins, and Focaccia breads in our hot buffet,” Carlos said.
While we were there, we had the opportunity to speak with a long time customer and VHA member, Charlie Porter. He told us, “Kathy (his wife) and I love to eat here. The food is always fresh and the staff is always friendly. We would highly recommend Sweet Tomatoes to everyone.” If you’re having a party, Sweet Tomatoes will make custom platters and bowls of your favorite dishes and they also offer Gift Cards for that hard to buy for special person.
