Beautiful store filled with unique, pretty trinkets, jewels and clothes. Love the native american influences on the store design itself...lots of plants, textiles and ceramics. Prices are a little high but it seems like all the merchandise is from smaller, local brands so that's to be expected. The older lady that works there is a little annoying and gave me a really hard time today about taking a photo in the store and while I could understand where she was coming from, I think the lecture was unnecessary.

They have tons of good polish colors but there is almost always a wait. I have also had some of the most ham-fisted manicures of my life here..like the girl painted my nails with her eyes closed. I also have made the mistake of getting the O.P.I gel polish they have here (Axxiom) once. Not only does it only last a week, that shit DESTROYED my nails.

Great service. AMAZING food and even more amazing fresh bread with home made ricotta (ALL I CAN EAT!). Kale salad is delicious as are all the pastas I have tried and the scallops tasted like little bites of heaven. And if you like chef's tastings and patés you are in luck. The best part? It's literally around the corner from my house so I can eat here all the time!

Beautiful view but good god, who can afford to drink here? $9 for a beer and $17 (SEVENTEEN) for a terrible margarita?! Get the hell out. Also the view would be a lot nicer if they didn't have 8 foot tall bushes and white dudes in dress shirts standing around everywhere.

I have been to 2 classes here. Both times for the 45min full body ride, once with Rosalind and once with Declan. Rosalind is an excellent instructor, very articulate and a great workout. Music is a little more on the rock side. Declan is way more high energy and kind of funny but he doesn't explain what you will be doing as much. Music is more hip-hop. I left both classes drenched and with my legs feeling like jello-o.

The space is clean and staff is very nice. Can't really speak for the prices since I got the LivingSocial pass but $27 per class does seem kind of high (Not sure what the going rates are though since all the spinning classes I have ever taken have just been at the gym I belong to anyway).

I was kind of apprehensive about my appointment here after reading all the negative reviews but my experience tonight was great. I called at 3 and got an appointment at 7 for gel color with a glitter gradient. I was seated promptly and the nail tech got started. The gel process was a little more involved than I had expected but the end result looks great and I'm OBSESSED with the glitter gradient. Subtle but so pretty, I just hope these gels last as long as they said they would (2-3 weeks). Everyone I interacted with was super nice and I thought the space was totally cute...very California. Will definitely come back

Also for the people that were saying they were put off my having to give a credit card number to reserve an appointment- that really isn't that wierd in my opinion. When you work in the service industry time is money and I have been to many salons that take your CC when booking and charge for no shows and late cancellations. If you don't want the time slot, don't book it. That's time your massage therapist, hair stylist or nail tech could be making money from someone else Show owner comment »

I'ts brand new so everything is super clean and sparkly. The massage chairs are awesome, staff is friendly and they have TONS of nail colors - looks like every Essie color in production. Also, for the first month all services are 20% off. I got a mani, pedi and 10 minute massage yesterday for $33.

Good, not great food. I liked everything I ate here but there is nothing that really jumps out in my mind as amazing. Nice atmosphere, big windows, lots of plants. I think the prices were a little high for what they are serving but the portions were generous. I'd eat here again but it's not on the top of my list
