Q: I came here only because I was in town visiting my Mom and she was able to get me in with her nail gal for a mani and also with her hairstylist for a quick bang trim. First of let me say the salon really is gorgeous and everyone from the receptionists to everyone else I came in contact with were really sweet. I saw Joyce for my bangs - OMG. OMFG. I've had bangs most of my life and have generally been annoyed and unhappy with them. She trimmed them in a way I'd never seen before and I was instantly in love. When I got my hair done the other day I had to tell my hairdresser to finish it off with the vertical cut because after months of my own trims (and totally nailing it btw) it had finally gotten too far out of whack. How silly that a change in angle of scissors can make a girl so happy. My bangs fell into place every day up until last week (when I knew I had a hair apt on the horizon) on their own with no need to attempt to flat iron them into submission. LOVE them. Marty, Martie? did my nails - and supposedly she's about the same age as my Mom but sadly looks much more aged. She's a sweetie but I felt a bit awkward with her and she refused to cut my nails as short as I wanted because "they were too nice." My Mom wouldn't let me file them down when I left either because she didn't want me to ruin it. Hello...yes you made the appointment but I paid for it! So needless to say the minute I arrived back in town I immediately headed for the clippers. I wouldn't say it was an awful job but I didn't think it was worth the $25 or whatever it was either. I was recently back in AZ and was hoping to be rescued by Joyce again but alas, she was out for a family emergency :-(

Q: I was going by this direct competitor to Sweet Tomatoes, so I dropped in to give it a comparison test. Once you find the place, almost hidden in a shopping plaza, it's nice inside... modern, clean, & mid-sized. The salad line is shorter than at Sweet Tomatoes, but everything was fresh & inviting. I joined a cheery, moderate-sized crowd in the dining room & got situated in a comfortable booth. A nice server, Mya, brought my drink right away, & provided perfect service throughout my visit. The friendly manager checked on everyone as well. Excellent tastes started springing from my plate almost immediately. The Caesar dressing was the real thing, with egg & anchovy. The cottage cheese was great (unlike that at S.T.). Even the macaroni with tuna was especially good. I tried 3 of the 5 nice soups, some spanish rice, a picadillo taco, & then headed back to the salad bar for kiwi, the best Waldorf salad I've ever tasted, & the best strawberry shortcake I've ever tasted! This is not the biggest buffet in town, but it's a good one!

Q: Haven't eaten at the Rokerij in about a year - a pleasant experience then, but a disappointing visit this time. Maybe I hit it on a bad night? The appetizer was meager given the price, the entrees were ok, but nothing exceptional. No comments about how good the food was across the board. The dessert actually was very good, but too little too late. I would think twice before going back, especially considering all of the great choices in the Phoenix/Scottsdale metro area.
