Awesome store with a warm, relaxing feel to it. The lighting is soft, the selections are broad, the end cap displays are like fine furniture bookcases. For all this you will pay a price! There are some good deals on meats and seafood but be aware of the upcoming specials or you will pay a lot more than you should for items you could find at Safeway for many dollars less.
Everyone is very friendly but some of the workers behind the counter (in the hot prepared foods section) are less than efficient. Guess they figure if you are willing to pay $15 a pound for cooked food you are probably not in any hurry - but the speed of service or lack thereof really was annoying.
Also keep an eye on the register and make sure the items on sale come up that way when rung up. In two visits we had two items that were each $5 higher at the register than the shelf price was showing. They were gracious about fixing them but still - had we not noticed we would have paid a lot more than we had intended. Just plain errors or an intentional trend we cannot be sure since we were visitors and don't live or shop there enough to know.
The outside menu looks like a nice option for a quick bite on a sunny day and when we return we will plan on eating there for lunch.
