Not sure why I never reviewed this place and I've been here several times since moving to this town…read morefive years ago. What's great about this place? Is that during the winter? They are obviously open and have seating inside and then during summer they actually open a part of their exterior wall like a garage door and there's also barstool type seating there as well so you can enjoy the great weather and the sun while still drinking whatever you purchased from them. They have an incredible selection in the store and every single time I walk in here whoever is working is super friendly and super helpful. I will say when you walk in it's not really straightforward because you can buy things and take it home buy things and drink it there or they even have beers on tap as well at the big counter. Every time I come in here, there's always people as well no matter what the weather is and it's great to see.

Opening up a liquor store so close to my apartment? This must be an omen. It was rumored that this…read moreplace was going to open for several months before it actually came to fruition. The word is that ownership ran into difficulties from the village which delayed things significantly. The space was formerly operated by a pet groomer who has since relocated to a larger space up on Higgins. The strip mall itself was given a huge face lift in the last year, with a resurfaced parking lot and updated facades for all the buildings. This was obviously an attempt to attract new tenants, which seems to be paying off. Being the nosy person that I am, I just had to poke my head in on the day they finally opened their doors for business. They completely remodeled the inside, and the beer coolers, wine racks, and shelving all looked brand new. The gentleman behind that counter, who I also suspect is the owner, was a really nice guy who I got to chat with briefly. While I guess the neighborhood did not really "need" a liquor store, and there is a 7-11 literally right next door, this does fill void for me personally for a couple of reasons. The 7-11 next door is pretty much useless to me these days for alcohol purchases. I am over the phase in my life where I am buying 30 racks of Milwaukee's Best and cheap bottles of rot gut, which is about all that can be found there. This new establishment is quite well stocked in all of the typical top shelf brands you would expect, along with various single malt scotches and other ultra premiums. This saves me the trouble of having to head to Mariano's if I have people over and need some provisions. They also have a huge walk in beer cooler with a robust selection to cater to the IPA and craft beer crowd. I wish there was a little more variety for my personal favorite, stouts, but that is just me being picky. Prices here are a good 15-20% less than you would pay at Mariano's by my estimation, and since it is so close to my apartment, I have little doubt that they will earn my businesses for the foreseeable future.

We even discussed Uncle Nearest whisky! After a recommendation from the owner, I chose the VDR; Very Dark Red wine. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to go back to try more!

The cook at the omelette and carving station is top notch--he's very pleasant and efficient. My omelette which was chock full of fresh ingredients was cooked to perfection. The Prime Rib was a perfect rare and seasoned well. Their signature Parmesan Reggiano hash browns are a must have. The breakfast bread choices are fresh and very tasty. I'm not a big fan of cocktail sauce with shrimp, I make an exception for theirs. It is obviously homemade and has just the right amount of kick to it. The staff is courteous and efficient. The (female) manager was constantly on the go keeping an eye on the entire operation. The entire premises is immaculate, the bathrooms are very clean and fresh smelling. A friend took me to a buffet at one of their big name competitors--that place was way overpriced and the food wasn't as good.
