I am very disappointed. Based on my experience, this store is, at best, mediocre. I've tried going to this place a number of times as it is closest to my house. EVERY TIME I have tried to go to this place it has been closed. There is no sign on the door to show when it is open. The back door is padlocked and has no sign either. The parking lot has no public spaces; all say RESERVED. My best option is to drive for 30-40 minutes to a REAL head shop like Cosmic Charlie's. Coming from a city like Portland, OR, where any head shop you go to is miles above Miami in terms of the quality and variety of merchandise available and whose prices are a fraction of the prices charged in Miami, it is a surprise to me that pot smokers don't have more in terms of quality head shops. PLEASE, don't go out of your way to go to this place. You will be disappointed.

Bistros are like antiques: They are supposed to be old. That's why even new ones often look as though they've been around for years. It's easy to find aged bistros in Paris, not so easy in South Florida. Le Bouchon du Grove has been sating patrons with its rustic French fare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner since 1994 — which in local restaurant years translates to having been around since 1846. It looks pretty good for such an old joint. Indoor and outdoor tables spill into one another and create the relaxed and comfortable feel of a perfectly worn pair of jeans. The food is assuaging as well, starting with a crusty baguette with creamy butter and segueing into adeptly executed homemade renditions of country pâté, salad Niçoise, escargots, pommes frites, gratinée Lyonnaise (French onion soup), steak in green peppercorn sauce — all the bistro classics. Other assets include an outgoing staff and exuberant French chef, a laid-back Sunday brunch, friendly French wines, and affordable prices (dinner entrées $20 to $30). Bouchon boasts experience and age, but dining here never gets old.
