Seems to loose a star each time we go.
Really bummed that after 2 weeks they bounced their 6 for $6 wine tasting down to 3 for $5 and no longer have it as a meandering tour of the store... but crammed in the wine department.
Lots of super nice people we got to know in Solon over the 16 months they have been opened... we live half way in between and would LOVE to make the Thursday wine tasting a weekly event so we could have dinner in the CF... but not after this change.
The bar and food service area is wonderful... the Starbucks entrance is a great feature and the outdoor patio is huge and looks like it will be a great place to relax in the summer... but the selection of the sections that matter to us will keep us in Solon... but it is a close vote.
Bulk section is tiny...
Salad bar is nicer in the CF...
Fresh sausage options are the same... neither store labels the back of the name tags in the fresh meat and seafood case... so expect to explain multiple times to the employees what you want...
Bakery section is merged with the gelato counter and is always packed and frantic... Solon has more space and a calmer staff...
Dairy section uses the nice cases with doors... but then random things are are displayed in old fashioned toss-in refrigerated cases... who has a pallet of bagged cheese off the rack and in a bin for people to paw through? Very odd.
Yes, the checkout tries to tell people where to go to speed things along... the loud automated voice is VERY industrial... have been there 4 times now and can't get over feeling like cattle getting moved to the processing train.
