Problem: I came here for the first time last weekend with my boyfriend's sister and her 2 little girls for a "girls' day". We thought we'd do something special for their 7th and 10th birthdays so after much research we decided that this was the best choice. The shop was clean, spacious, super cute and girly compared to some other salons that I've been to. We made an appointment about a week before. Upon arriving we were tended to immediately after choosing our colors. Our manicurists were all very sweet and patient with us especially with the girls which was really important and appreciated considering it was "their day". Never once did we feel rushed while we were there and the ladies really took their time with us. If they were impatient with us at any point, it definitely didn't show. The girls had classic mani and pedis with the gel polish treatment along with 3D nail art. We decided to let them splurge and asked for some nail art and it turned out so well even on their little fingers! All I can say about the nail art is that whatever you see here on Yelp is consistent with you get when you're there! The girls were so ecstatic and in love with their nails even to the point where they kept getting distracted during church the following day because they kept admiring their nails. This was the first time they've ever been to a nail salon to get their nails done and this place definitely exceeded their expectations. As for the adult treatments, both my bf's sister and I got the deluxe mani and pedi with the gel polish. The pedi treatments weresoooo worth the $$$ I paid. I'm on my feet a lot so it's often cracked and/or dry. The heating pad wrap and massage felt so good I didn't want to take my feet out of the wrap! The ladies did an awesome job with our nails as well. I wanted a fade but since my nails were so short they couldn't do it so they did the next best thing while still giving me what I wanted. My bf's sister loved her polish as well and we both agreed that the ladies were very precise and careful with their work. The only reason why this place is getting 4 out of 5 stars is because the polish/gel on my pinky nails started to lift 2 days after. It's not as noticeable because it's on the side but you can tell that the polish started to lift and separate from my nail. My remaining nails are still fully intact and we're about a week and half in. The girls' nail art came off 3 days after but in Luxy's defense, they're kids and probably play rough during school. We were told that Luxy has a 7-day guarantee on their work where they will fix any chippings etc., but since I don't live in the area and was only visiting at the time, I can't really take them up on this offer. As for the girls' nails, their mom was just too busy to take them back. Nonetheless, I wouldn't say this is a deal breaker for future visits. The girls really enjoyed it and that was most important for us that day.

Problem: I stinkin adore this lovely neighborhood spot! The patio is always so inviting with its herb garden and flowering plants. On my return had the chance to try the NM chile and pork soup. The size was just perfect to hit the right spot of hearty yet overwhelmingly Buffet size portion. It is phenomenal. It's flavorful with the right balance of dimension of both slow roasted veggies and crisp cuts of fresh beets. I would want it a tad bit spicer but I'm sure it can be requested. I highly recommend that you not leave without having the sashimi ahi salad, a tall pint of the Michigan Celis White beer and the heavenly key lime pie. There's something about the whipped cream that is so nutty and the hand squeezed key lime is just simply perfection in a slice! I will warn that service gets overwhelmed during rush hour so anticipate a long lunch hour :)

Problem: Prices are reasonable. Couple things I didn't like - 1. The spot free air blowing thingy at the end, did not do an adequate job in drying the vehicle off (most important part in my opinion). 2. They offer free vacuuming - If you drive a larger vehicle heads up, you can't reach around to the trunk/rear cabin area. I could only reach to the back tires of my Expedition. The main reason I was there was to vacuum out dog hair from that area. Spots are angled so its annoying to try and back in. 3. Parking is tight for larger vehicles (Usually not a big deal but it was packed)

Problem: I've visited this establishment twice, once for dinner and more recently for their reopened lunch buffet. For dinner, the food was okay, but the service was severely lacking. It took forever (about 2 hours total) to order our food, get water and refills, get our food and finally pay our check. The butter chicken was so-so. The aloo gobi even less remarkable. The 2 kinds of naan were too doughy. Despite this mediocre experience, I was willing to give their lunch buffet a try, especially since the wifey was curious to experience their cuisine. What a mistake that was... First of all, the price of $11.99 is at the high end for Indian lunch buffets, and this place is the exception to the rule that you get what you pay for. The selection and quality was downright pathetic and frankly embarassing. Ok, to be fair, it was still better than our abysmal experience at Sherpa House (in Golden, CO) but that is setting the bar extremely low. There were a whopping total of 8 hot trays consisting of items such as onion "pakora" (basically onion ring fragments), orange chicken, daal, chana masala, goan fish curry, lamb curry, paneer masala, and (non-Basmati) rice. There was also a small salad bar section and kheer. There was a surprising lack of classic staples such as mango chutney, samosas, Tandoori chicken, any kind of chicken curry, or saag. Although we enjoyed the fish curry, it could not make up for the lack of selection and quality of the rest of items. The garlic naan was so-so. It was simultaneously too doughy yet too hard and dry on the bottom. The kheer was the worst we've ever had. It lacked cardamom flavor and contained numerous clumps of rice. At least this time around, the service was half decent. The only other mitigating factor was they were running a $2 off promotion, although we had to specifically ask for the discount to be applied. That being said, the fact that this place garners stellar reviews is a real head scratcher. Perhaps, restaurants located in the (relative) boonies are held to a lower standard. Who knows? As for me, when I rate a restaurant, I don't care where a restaurant is located. The food is either good or it isn't. It's either a good value or it isn't. Unfortunately, this place is neither.
