I'm hoping to come back one day to try the tacos.
They have a tiny little food stand inside and Starbucks. When I know I want to take my sweet time inside, I grab some coffee and then go on my way. Whomever manages this place does a great job because the lanes are always clean and never messy, that's usually hard to find in the clothing department.
Also parking is simplified with the with garage. No having to run to your car in the rain. The extra large elevators can fit your cart and you just take it to your car. First hour of parking is free and then only $1 for every hour after that. Just don't lose your ticket or you'll pay the maximum rate!
This was an enjoyable place that we just happen to find and I can see it getting overlooked by the other bigger and fancier places on the Grove. To all those Yelpers who had a bad time, try this place again.
They are just starting out so some merchandise was still in boxes but they have really good potential to be a top of the line store. They are the nicest, nonpretentious people with a love for bike riding. Only reason why I wouldn't shop here again is only if they don't sell something specific that I'm looking for.
This store has been an enabler to my Puma clothing and shoe addiction so I come here every so often to see what the new merchandise looks like. Good quality workout clothes can also be found here and I recommend anyone trying to find Nike, Adidas brand clothes to come here because the prices are great.
Tons of new friends and yelpers made! We hit South Miami and we hit it hard. Jessica C. taught us the perfect way to do a sake bomb while also creating a mess at the table! All for a good cause. That would just be the beginning of a glorious night.
Was my tricorn hat a pirate hat or Paul Revere's? The Yelpers are coming! The Yelpers are coming!

RA Sushi Bar Restaurant

My biggest gripe is that RA does get very crowded and people start to hover over you if you're sitting at a table near the bar. "Yes, that chair is taken, no you may not have it" There is also many things on the happy hour menu that are excluded and at regular price so make sure you're server explains to you what is on special. I've only had this place once but I'm wanting to come back at dinner time to try out some other things off the menu.
I had the chicken with BBQ guava sauce. It was great and even better the next day as left overs. The place was clean and not very busy on a Saturday night so no need for reservations.

Whole Foods Market
Categories: Grocery, Health Markets
Firstly, it seems like right after 5pm on a weekday, Whole Foods is packed with people that have just left work and are picking up something fresh to make dinner with that night. The parking lot is not small but it's not huge either and when I was leaving, there were cars hunting for spaces. Thankfully, the store is aware of this and has an employee directing traffic.
And that's something that stood out BIG in Whole Foods, the attention to customer service and the desire to get you on your way as pleasantly as possible. In every aisle, there was some employee working the lane. Twice employees asked me if I needed assistance. That would have never happened at a Publix. I would have to be hunt down someone to ask where something was at.
The most overwhelming and admittedly intimidating thing about shopping at Whole Foods for the first time was that the brands that I'm used to, where no where to be found. I was shocked but not surprised. Forget about Kraft, Kellogg's and Nestle. You're not in Winn-Dixie anymore, Dorothy! You're here because you want to buy organic! I was definitely slower to do shopping since I wasn't sure about any product. They carry a lot of local grown and created I was also price conscious. I already knew going in that people joke Whole Foods really is called "Whole Paycheck Foods" because it's a bit pricier than shopping nonorganic. But Whole Foods does have a line of generic brand items called "365" that should make you and your wallet happy.
You really need to give it to Whole Foods for having a stocked store of fresh produce. Grains, nuts and oats can be scooped and bagged similarly to those candy stores you used to go to as a kid. There's A TON of different Cheeses, rare, imported beers like Lindeman's Lambic and Delirium Tremens. There's fresh seafood, poultry and beef towards the back and some meats were on sales that made them comparable to regular nonorganic at a local grocery store.
There's another whole section of fresh hot soups and baked goods that I didn't even get a chance to spend much time in. I noticed this whole part of the store and area outside where people were hanging out. Yeah, hanging out at a grocery store on laptops with free wifi I'm guessing.
In all, Whole Foods gets 4 stars for amazing customer service, the freshest food possible ranging from produce, baked goods and meats and providing a competing a generic brand for those that want to take the organic food route but not entirely the price one.
