A: I don't live in this area, but my office and a number of my clients are in Scottsdale. I needed a new nail salon, as my prior salon/stylist had gotten sloppy. I tried Lavish as a result of Yelp interviews, and have had 3 manicures and a pedicure. I have found them to be very friendly and everyone seems to speak English. Jen, the owner, had the challenge of working with my nails after I had tried another salon and had a very THICK fill on my gel nails. She did a beautiful job of just filing them down and shaping before doing one of the best French manicures I've had in a long time. My latest manicure was done by Lenn (Lynn?). She is darling.....warm and just naturally friendly. She welcomes requests for designs and said she would be happy to look at my Pinterest folder of nail designs. (Nail stylists normally look at me in a combination of disgust and fear when I pull out my iPad). So, Lynn did a terrific job on my fill and nail shaping and I decided on a combo of metallic charcoal grey polish with black tips.....similar to a French manicure. She did such a great job. They look awesome, and when I go back .....I will be requesting her. My only reason for not giving 5 stars was cost. $50 plus tip was the most I have paid......even in numerous Scottsdale salons. I thought it was about $10 too high.

Q: negative

A: I'm a big fan of CPK. The food is decently priced and super yummy. Today me and a friend went to this location. We got there around 1:15 and asked to sit outside. It took about 15 minutes to be greeted. We ordered our drinks and waited another 10 minutes. Finally a manager came over and took our drink order AGAIN and took our food order. She brought us our drinks and 5 minutes later our "waitress" brought us drinks. The food was good as always but I ran out of iced tea quick. No one ever filled it and a whole bunch of servers/managers walked by. I almost got up and filled it myself. It was just a hot mess and I don't know if I'd even return after that.

Q: negative

A: Was not impressed with this restaurant in the least bit. Our server was very hard to find throughout our meal when we needed assistance. The bread was not fresh - it had to have been at least a day old. The food was okay, but I felt expensive for the quality. Didn't feel the food was as fresh as it could have been. I don't know if my expectations were high because of all the high reviews, but I will pass in the future on this one...

A:
This cozy Thai restaurant is fantastic! On Bryant St it is away from the busier areas of the city. The food is excellent and the service is great! Our waitress was happy to help us. I got chicken pad thai. It's a lot different from other Thai restaurants in the city but just as good. The Thai iced tea and coffee were great! Large menu. Comfy cozy place for a nice dinner. The spicy scale seems to be higher than other Thai restaurants in Pittsburgh. 8 was quite spicy.
