Good Food magazines and outlets report that David Jones’ newly opened food hall is not living up to past expectations. The venue was previously described as an “Aladdin’s cave for gourmets,” but multiple reviews say its current offering feels diminished. All three sources point to customer or critic observations of limited choice, including references to “bare shelves” and fewer available products than shoppers might expect. The reviews also highlight pricing and specific menu items. One item repeatedly mentioned is a $21 smoothie, described as being inspired by Los Angeles grocer Erewhon. Other products are also noted, including Vili’s pies. While the articles capture disappointment and a perception that the hall has lost its former appeal, they focus on observable factors such as inventory availability and the cost of items rather than broader allegations. Overall, the accounts present a consistent theme that the new food hall’s assortment and value do not match the reputation it previously had.
