Let me start by saying I live very close to Polished and have been going on and off since opened. I have almost always been happy with the service I get from their nail techs, and it's true... If you aren't happy with it, they will try to fix it for you. The salon is very pretty, and there is a wiiiiide variety of colors, designs, etc to choose from! Over 3,000 gel colors alone. Why haven't I been a continual customer? The reception staff at Polished. I originally stopped going way back when because the receptionist was horrible. She was nice to the customers, but totally disrespectful to the nail techs... Yelling at them, berating them, being totally disrespectful, IN FRONT of the clients. It was so uncomfortable, and I felt like I was in a sweatshop. Fast forward to a few months ago. A friend of mine started going and on her recommendation, I tried it again. The receptionists were a big improvement (there is a girl who is pregnant... Don't know her name, but she is always so nice). I was always asked how my service was, etc. shout out to Kimmy and Lisa too... Both great nail techs! So, now to why I'm giving two stars. Fast forward again to this evening. I had a 4:50 appointment for gels. My six year old daughter went with me to get her toenails painted. She loves Polished and jumps at the chance to join me; and it's fun mother daughter time for us. When you call Polished, they specifically state that children are not allowed unless they are getting a service. I totally respect that. I don't want kids running around either, and am always sure that mine is behaving. She behaves in general though and is quiet by nature... I've never had to discipline her much at all. After my daughter's toes were finished and dry, she came over to sit next to me. The salon on my side was very quiet and a lot of techs were gone for the night, or wrapping up. At one point when I was almost done, my daughter got up to look at the rings of gel samples. There was no one else in that area, and I was sitting in the very front, so she was right behind me. The receptionist (I've never seen her before) promptly came up to me and told me that kids weren't allowed unless they were getting a service. I explained that I was aware of that, and she in fact did get a service. Her response was "oh". She then decided to address my 6 year old and tell her too that she was not allowed. Seriously??? My nail tech told me not to worry about it and assured me that my daughter was doing nothing wrong, but I still ended up with a little girl busting into tears as soon as we got in the car. It was totally uncalled for, and I doubt my daughter will ever feel comfortable going back to her favorite nail place.

The sandwich was good. I won't deny it but it was painfully over priced. Two subs, two bottled waters and I was out nearly $24... just sandwiches, no fries or chips or salad... Now for the real kicker the elderly couple running the place are either attention starved or have no, NO knowledge of the hospitality industry. My friend and I could not peacefully eat our dinner. They not only kept coming by every 3 minutes to ask us how we liked it they wanted to chat. The fellow even sat down at our table and chatted at us and, here is the kicker. HE. KEPT. TOUCHING. ME... yes you read that correctly he could not keep his hands to himself. This on top of the fact that he made fun of my friend for being disabled when we were seated at our table telling us, "the nights that he has midgets serving everything is half off." 0_o Really you make fun of a woman walking with a cane and in the same breath rip on little people??? CLASSY OH did I mention this was all to the background noise of two televisions blaring FOX news at a decibel which either implied that the cook wanted to hear it in the back, or the couple was hard of hearing. Really stay the fuck away unless you like being pawed by an old east-coaster and cannot eat with out constantly reassuring someone that the food you just bought isn't shit. No sandwich is good enough to put up with that crap in my mind...

Zoe's was very inexpensive and yet provided many delicious as well as healthy options for customers. The staff was very nice and courteous. The food was pretty good and the menu consisted of primarily Greek cuisine but also had other options. The ambiance was also very nice and colorful. Zoe's would make an excellent mid-day lunch or dinner option.
