I never thought I would be reviewing Whole Foods as a restaurant, but trust me, it is.
I have lived in Rocky River for 15 years. So when Whole Foods came to town, I put up my Heinins flag. Yes I came here. Yes the fresh fish is amazing. I understand why they call it whole paycheck.
Tonight I came here. My "significant others, MC's" sister is in from LA. She sent a list of things to bring tomorrow, and I am told, only While Foods will be able to fulfill the order. "Ok. If you say...." The night before Thanksgiving, here I am. MC says she has seen people in the store with beer and cocktails. "They have a bar." Ok. Let's go for it. I'll drink, you shop for your picky sister. We'll hit a late happy hour meal.
They have a pub. 16 craft brewed beers. A bunch of signature cocktails, pub fare with daily specials; and a pool table. Bright and well lighted, not like a bar. You can shop with a cocktail. (They encourage it and MC took advantage of it)
And if you find anything in the store you want to eat NOW, bring it on in.
As a place to eat.....maybe a 4. Not bad. Try it. As a whole experience, 5 stars. Totally unexpected. You got to try it! A totally new experience.
