A: Decided to try this place out last Thu. This is only my 2nd time I've had a gel manicure done. The last one was 2 wks ago and I needed to have another one done so my nails would look good for my Bday. I had the older man (maybe the owner) do my manicure. He was nice enough but when I got home and put my glasses on, I could see where he wiped off some of the polish near the cuticle edges. Some of them were not even and looked lopsided. I had one chip on Mon (only lasted 4 days) and my cuticles were very rough and a couple of nails were not filed too well and had sharp edges. It only costs $22 but it didn't last a week! Maybe the women are better. If you decide to give them a try, don't get the older guy!

A: If you are looking for a quick, order at the counter, yet amazing breakfast joint, this really is it. My husband and I come here at least twice a month just for their $5 all you can eat french toast, and their (almost) equally yummy pancakes. Be prepared for a long line if you arrive close to 11am, which is when breakfast ends and lunch begins. Sometimes on weekends it is really hard to find a table, and it is an open seating style restaurant. If you happen to stop by for lunch, the chicken salad on a croissant is really good, and their bakery pies and treats are always freshly made. My husband usually gets the BLT but I thought it was pretty boring and bland compared to other comparable bakery sandwiches. Note that they are closed on Sundays, which is disappointing because it's my favorite day to roll out of bed for a late breakfast.

A: After seeing all the reviews and finally being on this side of town in the morning before work, I knew I had to try this place. And Boy am I glad I did! I was there fairly early (7 am!) and they only had a few select options. I got the croissant with egg and spinach, a cranberry twist, and a mocha frapp. Just the smell itself was so enticing, I was wanting him to hurry up and give me my food! The place just smells amazing! The food was just amazing and great size. The next time I'm able to go I'm definitely going to try their sandwiches and soups. I just wish they were open later in the evening and on weekends, I would definitely go here if they had Sunday Brunch. Mmmmmm~!

A:
We went to Casavino yesterday for the "wine tasting with snacks" per the Deal Chicken coupon we purchased. The coupon got us to try Casavino, but we definitely won't be back. The "staff" - Jeff (?) & Josh (the J2 on the labels) - were unprofessional and unknowledgeable about the wines that they serve. They informed us half way through our tasting that there were no snacks available on Sundays because the restaurant in the same strip mall where they get their food is closed on Sundays . . . shouldn't this have either (a) been told to us when we made our reservation, or (b) perhaps they could have made other arrangements to serve their patrons on Sundays? Most of the wines were unremarkable. The whites were all super sweet, and most of the reds tasted alike. One of the only interesting wines that we tried was their white port, which, of course, wasn't included in the coupon. As part of the deal, they took our picture and put it on a wine bottle label - they might want to invest in a new printer, as the photo and label are so washed out, you can barely make out our faces. To top it all off, we still had to pay a mandatory 15% gratuity (for what??) and tax, so even though we had already spent $40 on the Deal Chicken coupon, we still spent an additional $25 at Casavino. Don't waste your time driving out to Fountain Hills to visit Casavino - it's definitely not worth the trip.
