Upscale grocery
At first, this place was sold to me as a gourmet shop and I was pretty disappointed on my initial visit. To me, it pretty much looked like a crowded grocery store with a few specialty items thrown in.
Since my first visit, I've been back several times and have come to appreciate everything this store has to offer. The olive bar has a great selection of olives sold by weight, the cheese selection is wonderful, the meat section is terrific. Lots of hard-to-find items (i.e. duck breast, caviar) , but there's also plenty of every-day stuff, too (cake mixes, cereal, cat food). It's great one-stop shopping if you're planning a meal and need a variety of groceries.
