    Always and reliably the freshest fruit, vegetables, broad-range of fish, and prepared foods. Their homemade baba ghanoush and hummus are secrets. Yes, not an inexpensive place to shop.

    Ordered 8 jumbo shrimp, I asked them to be deveined they said it would be an extra charge, I said okay and then I got home to realize they did a half ass job. If I’m paying extra I expect the job to be done properly, it’s just disappointing.
