First of all let me say that I love this place. It has so many things in it, things that I'd never even heard of.. things that you only hear about while watching the Food network and/or Travel channel.
With that said it is the most expensive grocery store I've ever been to. Wow. I bought the ingredients to make a Pear/Gorgonzola salad. With all I spent to make this I could have gone out to eat and been just fine. But I wanted to eat here for lunch one day with the extensive rows and rows of salad bars and soups and more salad bars. and more things that are made to order. But alas, I'm a poor college student and let's face it. I shop @ Trader Joe's, Costco, Walmart & Fresh & Easy. I can't afford "whole paycheck" just quite yet.
Did I mention how gorgeous their produce section is? This place just makes you want to cook something new and innovative. Even if you don't need groceries i'd recommend just taking a lap around this place. I guarantee you'll see something you just can't walk out without.
