You cannot get any more inauthentic than The Grove. It's made for Tourists and worse, Los Angeleno's have to suffer another faux reality and this time it's interfering with their shopping. If you want good shopping, check out The Beverly Center or Century City. If you want good food, click under restaurants after reading this review and find a place that isn't in an outdoor mall. The worst part of all of this is that once The Grove was erected, The Farmer's Market lost it's quaint, quiet charm, prices went up and those of us who cherished the nostolgia and precious nature of the market lost something special. It's simply not worth it.
Pros: It's not going to physically hurt you
Cons: Variety, inauthenticity, value
