IMHO, the place is completely out of step with consumer preferences. The menu is awful. Definately makes no economic sense either as Joe said.
It should be a microbrewery, upscale but casual and relaxed, with moderate prices. Keep the jazz but loose the tuxedos. Should be open for lunch, maybe breakfast too. Winery could work there too.

Gourmet and Ladue Market don't go hand in hand.

They're pretty damn close. Find me another grocery store with their level of service and personal touch. It's the last remaining neighborhood grocery store in the area. I hope to god this new one doesn't hurt it in any significant way.

Winslow's Home, Johnny's, Sappington Farmer's Market and Vincent's, among others, might just take issue with you there.

^ none of which are in the ladue/frontenac clayton area. Your definition of "area" is pretty broad.
And yours was ambiguous. There are few "neighborhood groceries" overall; the fact that one remained in Ladue proper was more a function of demographics than anything else.

Obviously 'gourmet' means something totally different between the two of us then.
Naw. It just changed from an old-money pit to a money pit (although the two definitions of "pit" aren't necessarily identical).

Amazing that another $4.5 mil will be dumped into this property.
