Problem: I have a fairly new BMW 5 series, meaning I usually try to stay away from automatic car washes in fear that they might damage my car. Not this one! As others have said, they obviously designed this wash very carefully, it does an incredible job. The facilities are extremely clean. The vacuums are free and suck really hard, they have carpet mat holders and even a free carpet mat cleaning machine (don't be scared, it works great!) Plenty of shaded parking and BIG spaces as not to crowd people out. Most definitely 5/5 stars, I'll be coming back here whenever I need a wash.

Problem: After moving to the north side of town, I had to find a new nail salon. This one was not only the closest one, but had decent reviews. I had to hesitation heading over. I needed a gel mani, but was looking forward to getting a pedi if time permitted (it did not). I spent an hour and a half at the salon, and my nails have never looked worse after a visit to a salon. When I walked in, I was immediately greeted and asked to pick out a gel nail color from their wall. There was a decent selection of colors in a few different brands, I was happy with them. Agreeing with another reviewer, the smell coming in was a little overwhelming, but I'm generally used to the smell of a busy nail salon. I told the gentleman doing my nails that I'd like the white french manicure in the gel polish and he immediately went to work removing the old gel from my fingernails. I was very happy with how he cleaned my nail beds, he was very precise in pushing and trimming my cuticles, I was surprised that he didn't ask if I liked my nails squared off (I do) but I was okay that they were a little rounded off. I told him I liked my white tips somewhat thick, and it wasn't until after he started polishing on the white tips that my experience went downhill. He layered on the white very thinly, I told him a total of 4 times that I like my white thicker. I told another manicurist, and she was able to tell him (apparently he didn't speak English). It took a final 10 minutes to dry my top coat (it only takes 2-3 at my old salon). In the end, my manicure came out lopsided, there were bubbles at the surface, and a small black speck in the gel on one of my nails. Upon checking out, the manager asked how things were and I told him that they weren't great, very sloppy. He told me to come back in a few days to re-do them. When I told him that I wasn't planning on coming back, he told me they could squeeze me in right then. Who has 3 hours to get a manicure?! PROS: Nice front desk staff. Decent prices ($25 for a gel mani, $5 extra for french tips). Meticulous cuticle trimming. CONS: Acetone smell more prominent than most other salons. Takes longer than other salons (1.5 hours for a gel mani). Uneven french tips, bubbles in my top coat, SLOPPY. Some manicurists don't speak English and will ignore your requests. Wasn't ever asked what I prefer (round v square, thickness of french tip, etc.) Was never offered water (something I like about other salons. Definitely will not be back, and wouldn't recommend to friends or family. :(

Problem: What a great little neighborhood find! This boutique is a terrific place to find that fab little accent piece to spice up your wardrobe. If you are feeling like the run of the mill mall crap that every one else is wearing is bringing you down, then head up to this tucked away spot in a nophoe strip center and poke around for a while. You will find great accessories and jewelry as well. I love this spot for quick and original girl friend gifts. The owner (who does all of her buying) has a great eye. I have gone in and told her that I felt frumpy. She just started throwing things over the dressing room door and I left with a great outfit that I would have never put together on my own. She also is very community oriented and does a lot of promotions to help out local charities. Yeah, it can be a bit pricey but take a few moments to look around in the sale section and sign up for her email list. She sends out killer discounts at the end of season. AND Oh, guys, good spot for your Valentine's day shopping. In and out with out the confusion and traffic of the mall. Just ask the girls to find you some thing spectacular.

Problem: Two stars for their large selection of beer. They have an extensive bottle list but the prices are stadium level high; $14 for a Dog Fish Palo Santo Marron and $8 for Negro Modelo?? come on! But prices weren't the only thing that knocked down my review.... The service... my god... so we had a table for 5 and 3 of us were good to go at the reservation time, I figured that would be enough to get seated. But no... their policy was we needed to have the entire group. This was on a Friday but there were plenty of tables available and they close at 12 so I don't see why this rule isn't flexible. We just wanted to get some appetizers and give you our money! Since two of us were running an hour late, we decided to head back to the Venetian and gamble. Luckily it wasn't a total bust as I won $134 on the monopoly machine. We went back at ~10:30 (might've been 11) with our 5 and... yeah they weren't seating people anymore. So we had to seat in their lounge area. We grabbed a seat from another table (again PLENTY of tables available) and figured we could get a few drinks in before closing time. The first round was quick and on point. Second round not so much... two drinks took well over half an hour to arrive, small apology is all we got, and another was brought without a clean glass. The place was pretty dead so I have no idea why it took so long to get our drinks. But the beer was good and we were no our way. Until we saw the terrible bill. We were double charged for the two drinks that took +30mins to arrive. We had asked for a split check and they weren't even close to be correct. Took us a few minutes to flag her down but she did manage to write down which drinks should be billed to which check. Though she did fight us on the double charges. She kept pointing to my beer and saying I had two of the $14 beers... yeah I would've remember that. She also said "well the bar made two margaritas" and we countered with "well we only ordered one and only one showed up". Took a few more run through and she was annoyed by it but she did fix it so I tipped her the difference. Wish I had the chance to try out the food but with the lousy service maybe it was for the best. I'll go back with a fellow beer lover but the price and service aren't worth for the casual group gatherings.
