If you look at it from a store perspective, this mall is 5 stars. They have every store you can think of. Ferragamo, for instance. While most malls have one store with a small selection of Ferragamo, Fashion Square has an entire store dedicated Salvatore and his fine leather goods (Treat yo self!). Same goes for 7 For All Mankind denim...The list goes on. Fashion Square also features a Neiman-Marcus, Barney's Tiffany, pretty much every high end store there is. For those of you that don't make $500,000+ per year, there are also lower cost options like H&M, and middle of the road options like Nordstrom.
In addition to a ton of stores, there are 6-8 full service, sit down restaurants in addition to the food court and a movie theatre. If they were to let you sleep at Crate and Barrel, you'd never need to leave this mall.
In terms of downsides...Parking isn't great, and when the mall is busy, it's packed. Even with three stories and hundreds of thousands of square feet, it still feels like a sea of people that you're trying to fight through. Also, it's so damn big that you're constantly fear that you're going to get lost. I've probably been to this mall 30 times and I'm confident that there are 100+ stores that I've yet to stumble upon.
Additional Note: If you're planning a flash mob and think the mall might be a good spot, just move on. Fashion Square is NOT kind to people flashmobbing in their area.
