I went to Allure Nails the other day for a Mani/Pedi before I took off on vacation. The salon is very nice, your typical cookie cutter nail salon but it was clean and the decor was modern and very nice. They have a flat screen which faces away from the technicians so you don't have your tech paying more attention to Court TV than to your nails. My tech was very nice, she chatted with me while she did my pedi and was very attentive. She filed my nails but did not ask if I wanted them trimmed. Her leg massage was very nice, firm but not half assed like some places do. She used sea salt and massaged my legs and feet for a good 5 minutes. The lotion massage was also nice, they use Creative Nail lotion and not that generic "green" lotion from a squeeze bottle. My only gripe is for my mani. I always get a buff, no polish. I walked in a 6 PM so by the time for my mani, it was about 6:45. They close at 7 PM, not sure if she was in a hurry to get me out of there but I still have hang nails on a few of my fingers. Also when she did my buff, she put cuticle oil on my nails when she was done to make them look shinier. I like to see myself in the buff of my nails and will tip generously to a tech that will spend the time to make them shine but 12 hours later, my buff is matte and that is being kind. The mani/pedi combo was $45, a little pricier than similar salons but the decor, cleanliness, premium product and the attentive staff made up for the price increase. Their polish did look a bit "dry" but I bring my own color so not sure how theirs measure up. I don't do acrylics so I can't vouch for that service but their pedi was worth it. I'll be heading to a different salon this afternoon to get another buff since the one I got deserves a 2. Also they do not accept American Express or Discover so make sure you have cash or a visa on hand!

Debated between the Thai place, the new Sushi spot, the Hawaiian joint or this place. Amigo's Taco just dont taste right any more. Ordered a Lunch combo orange chicken and a buddah's delight for dinner. Wow...just wow...where to begin...lets start on the outside of the plate and work ourselves inward. Crab Ragoons Since when is it acceptable for Krab (imitation crab made from fish) to be called Crab? Other then the imitation crab used but real crab named these were pretty decent green onions in the cream cheese gave it some flavor, soft and crunchy. Crab as well as Krab both virtually nonexistent. Orange Chicken Lunch Combo Blandest noodles ever, they have a fried look but a 'just boiled' taste. yummy.... Orange Chicken itself....nothing to write home about. if i didn't actually look at each individual hunk of chicken and noticed that it's coated in sauce i would have assumed they missed some spots going by taste alone. Fried rice, dont want to bore anybody you see where this review is going. And now the rant....the lunch combo includes a soup but not for takeout orders. So...I pay the same price as someone who eats in but i'm denied something i paid for...Now i can understand the whole 'to go fast food' concept which is why it's not offered but at least give the customer the option. It doesnt even have to be in bowls resulting in an increase in dishes to wash, why not use small disposable coffee cups? Let the customer sip on some soup while they wait for the food to cook. They do advertise 'Fresh to Order' nothing's sitting under a heating lamp, the time between placing an order and picking up an order could be spent sipping on soup rather then thinking to yourself 'did the guy even greet me when i walked in?'

A laidback, unassuming little coffee shop where you can plop down on a couch with a book. Lo-fi Willy Street ambiance, decent vegan selection at the counter if you're of that persuasion. As a tea drinker I'd have liked some loose tea offerings, but the bagged stuff was more than decent. I spent many a happy afternoon here. Live music on Friday and Saturday nights.

Would give them zero stars if I could. Agree 110% with the other two reviewers who had bad experiences here. This office sent me to COLLECTIONS for a bill that I never received. I only found out that they had sent me to collections when I called to make an appointment months after my initial appointment. Never received a bill, never was contacted by the collections agency even. I now have a black mark on my credit report until the year 2019 for a bill I never received. To top it off, their office staff and management was EXTREMELY rude. I have NEVER in my life not paid a bill on time. I was harassed by their staff and treated like garbage. They insisted they had called me about the bill and had sent a paper bill, neither of which is true. It makes me livid just thinking about it. I would hope the doctors wise up and get a clue about how their office staff is treating their patients, but clearly their main concern is making money. I can only hope that these clearly unethical business practices come to light sooner rather than later and no other innocent people are hurt financially by this office.
