The store is a good place to eat, with a slick menu with lots of options for both vegetarians and meatlovers like myself. The decor is great; there are many different areas to choose from and a pretty outdoor area. However, the service still lets the store down a little. One example: I was dining alone after a hairdressing appointment in the area, when the restaurant was near empty. and the waiter seemed bored. Rather than do some task, he was looking out into the dining area, and a little too often at me.

Of course waiters have to check their customers are being looked after: but there's a line between giving your customer space and making them feel awkward!

I have felt this before at the store- a sense of the staff not quite getting the service right. I've found I've either had to hunt for one, or that they have been too busy cleaning or whatever to serve me, or have been too visible, without giving enough privacy.

Otherwise, a great restaurant.

The food at The Store is wonderful. One of their specialities is their delicious cheeseburger with pickles and a pattie made of different meats, and the steak sandwich.

Given the location and the quality of their food, the price is probably understandable.

But for my money, there are some places to eat that verge on fine dining for only a little more than what it would cost to eat here.

So I've only eaten here a few times. The service is just ok, too; at the end of a busy lunch period, the wait staff were so busy cleaning everything that they weren't very attentive.

I like eating out but I kind of feel like there are so many nice places where the quality is outstanding AND the price is great, too, that it makes this place kind of sink back into the back of the pack. Not somewhere I'd totally recommend, but the food is great.
