Q: I went here for the first time recently and won't be going back - my gel mani polish is already starting to come off after just a few days. I haven't done any activites that would warrant the wear this bad other than washing my hands like normal. the place is just two brothers as the workers - they are perfectly nice but I don't think it was a job well done. The hot stones for the pedi aren't even hot and he rubbed them on each leg for about 15 seconds. In addition the massage you're suppose to get with a pedi was about 30 seconds with no pressure - basically just like someone is touching your skin. and no hand massage with the mani. To make this place a definite no-no, when he pulled out the light thingy for the gel manicure, it was super dirty and all crusted with dirt or who knows what, on the inside. I felt so dirty and gross sticking my hand in there and just kept telling myself that I would sanitize my hands as soon as I got out of there. No telling what else was unsanitary that he used on me. I meant to go to the nail place at 3320, but this one is in the same corner complex and ended up here at 3360 by mistake so watch out - avoid this nail salon by cold stone unless you are just looking for a quick cheap mani/pedi that you don't mind chipping after a couple days and can handle the uncleanliness of the products that will be touching you.. definitely wasn't worth the money.

Q: When people say that the place is packed at all times, they were not kidding. I had been here in the past in another life, student life that is, and looking forward to a return visit. Our first visit had the whole group of 4 coming in mid afternoon on a Sunday and we basically got the last available table at the time. They have about 20 beers on tap and pretty much cover all types of beer. I really like their smoked or rauch beer, as well as their ESB. The wife felt like trying absinthe and was not a fan, but she was in luck and they have bourbon as well. A little too much black licorice and anise flavors for me as well with the absinthe. We did not have any food, but whenever the heater above our table came on, we could smell some pretty sweet smoked pork, so I am assuming the food is good here too. The service was the only drawback, which can be described somewhere between apathetic and rude. I guess they pegged us for tourist or non locals, but I am not sure. My buddy and I returned for a beer event later in the week, without the wives. It was the 20th anniversary Montreal beer fest at the downtown convention center and Dieu du Ciel was having a bunch of French and Belgium beers on tap, including Cantillon. Cantillion is a must try for anyone who loves sour beers like lambics, krieks and geuzes. Since it's basically impossible to find in Charlotte, we had to check out the event. Again, it was crowded, but this time service was a little better, so we may have just got a bad, disgruntled server on our first visit. All in all a great place for great beers with the service being inconsistent.

Q: I saw a sign for this place on our way to the movies this weekend. We stopped by for lunch after our movie. Place is small and so so. Service was really good. We had the humus with meat (great idea), hubby had a gyro sandwich (pita wrap) and he loved it. Fries were good too, tasty and crunchy. I had ordered a cubideh sandwich (wrap) but ended up just eating the humus, and taking the wrap home. Hubby thought humus was kind of bland, I thought it was OK. The meat was like hamburger meat but with herbs and spices, I liked it very much. The portion was reasonable (~$8, it is an appetizer). We want to come back to try the grape leaves, the baba ganoush, and the tabouleh.

A: positive

Q: Way too much hype for this place! And expensive too! I ordered a latte and five macarons.....it costed me $13! The latte I could've gotten better at Starbucks and the macarons had that old refrigerator smell :( I was really disappointed. Everything looked great, but everything tasted below average. Save yourself the money and disappointment
