Grammatical explanation of 高めだし


I found the word 高めだし and I guess it means "really expensive" or something
similar. How does it work grammatically? Can -めだし be used after any -i
adjective? And what does it mean? Does it come from the verb 目立つ? If yes,
shouldn't it be -めだち? Thanks for your help!

Context:

> えっ！？でもそのショップって何でも高めだし！




高め means kinda high (expensive).  
だ is just casual です.  
し (at the end of a phrase) notes one (of several) reasons.

The sentence seems to mean that the talker don't want to go because among
other things, the shop is too expensive.
