See, this is where my daughter swims for Illinois state swim competitions (high five if anyone else has a swimmer kid on a Michael Phelps diet), but I digress. There's certainly some humor of "but it's not in Illinois". But that's not why we come here. That's not why it gets real in the whole foods parking lot. Anyway, this a great location, everyone is helpful, and notably there is (of course as matters to me) a decent salad bar and a good amount of vegan options. Otherwise, I would not be coming. One thing of note though that I have needed many times is caffeine. They have a cold brew concentrate that uses a teaspoon or so for a cup of coffee! So read those words carefully: concentrate. That means, don't drink that whole bottle or you'll die, yo. That would be like a Futurama fry 100 cups of coffee moment. Or a Panera lemonade moment. There are some fun food options not at whole foods but in this area, and the pizza place nearby is also pretty epic. But you can't go wrong with whole foods, generally.

Such a great store. I was so happy when Whole Foods came to Schererville a few years ago. The…read moreworkers are helpful & happy. The organic produce is amazing. Even if it's a little pricy, there are always deals with the Amazon Prime. My favorite thing to get here is the delicious cheese. So many unique & quality options. You can also get a taste if you aren't sure what to get. Amazing pairings of nuts, and fancy crackers. The best place is the Olive bar. I love all of the options. The spicy variations, the Greek olives, so many choices. Great vegetarian food in the frozen section. Salad bar for fresh food & house made food. Sushi, pizza, bakery items. I like to eat in the cute little dinning area or outside if weather permits. I almost forgot about the awesome smoothie bar when you walk in too. Not your average grocery store.

The atmosphere is dark but carries a distinctly club‑like vibe, which works well with the layout…read more Tables are nicely spaced, and the bar has an inviting appeal with some interesting lighting choices that add character. The wine list covers most regions, though noticeably missing any Zinfandels. Service was good overall, but substitutions are clearly discouraged, which may be a drawback for some diners. Appetizers lean heavily toward seafood, with a salad and brochette rounding out the options. They also offer rotating egg rolls; we tried the gyros version, which was flavorful but on the pricey side. The main menu isn't extensive, yet every major category is represented. Our fillets were cooked as ordered, and the baked potatoes were standard. However, the presentation was underwhelming--the filet looked quite bare on a large plate, with watery meat juice that didn't add much appeal. Desserts include a wide variety of cakes and cream‑cheese‑based options, though there's no crème brûlée or key lime pie for those who prefer classics. All in all, the experience and pricing were reminiscent of the now‑closed Gino's, though it doesn't quite reach the same level of execution. Still, it offers a solid night out with a few standout elements and a few areas that could use refinement.

This was my second visit to the restaurant, and unfortunately, both experiences were disappointing…read more The first time, I ordered an old-fashioned that fell flat and lacked any real depth of flavor. On my second visit a year later, I decided to give it another shot--this time opting for the traditional version instead of the smoked one. It was better, but still only average at best. It was also served warm, and the ice melted quickly, suggesting the glass or drink wasn't properly chilled. The martini was also underwhelming--it tasted mostly like juice, with little to no noticeable alcohol. As for the food, the starters were definitely the highlight. The French onion soup was actually very good. However, the main courses didn't live up to expectations. I ordered the steak medium rare, but it came out closer to medium well--overcooked and under-seasoned. The chicken Vesuvio was also disappointing; the sauce tasted like it came from a jar, and neither it nor the rice stood out in any meaningful way. On a positive note, the ambiance was very nice. The lighting created a pleasant atmosphere, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Overall, while the setting and service were enjoyable, the food and drinks didn't justify a return visit.

The cookies from Butterfingers bakery are a seasonal highlight. I volunteer with an organization…read morethat hosts a holiday appreciation open-house each year featuring THE BEST cookie platter from this family-run bakery. From traditional Christmas cookies to new twists on the classics (sugar cookie with crushed peppermint pieces) these cookies are not overly sweet, crisp, and delectably melt-in-the mouth with the perfect proportion of textured-add ins. I have even been known to take a couple in a plastic bag to savor later. In the last few years, cookie chains have sprung up, bringing with them cult followings for their elaborate, often hubcap-sized tricked out confections and rotating flavors. Against this backdrop, Butterfingers stays true to the classics, turning out quality products, year after year, that stir nostalgia and evoke positive emotions, much like you-know-who's madeleines. (Sorry...I swore I could make it through a cookie discussion without mentioning Proust, but I couldn't.)
