I needed a deep clean for our 1 bed 1.5bath apt because my parents are coming in to town this weekend. With a judgmental mom, I needed someone to go crazy with the cleaning.

Rachel couldn't give me a quote over the phone, but took a look at the place and said it would be $200. I took the chance on her and I am SO thrilled that I did. She actually stayed from 8am to 8pm and busted her tail to get my place organized, dust and shower grime free. I trust her and would recommend her to my friends

This used to be an asian knickknack store that went out of business.

I live across the street and was super excited when I found out they were putting in this market. We have Cala Foods up the street with so-so produce, and Wholefoods up the hill with expensive produce.

We went in today to check out the new market and will for sure make this place our new grocery store. The fruits and vegetables are inexpensive and fresh. Plus the store layout is clean and organized. I think they're still stocking their shelves, but I'm already impressed with the selection of grocery items and meat counter. The only thing I saw missing was booze, but I'm sure that will come later.

Thick, heavy, deep dish pizza AND they offer soy cheese for us that are lactose challenged. Pretty pricey, but great portions. Great beers on tap as well

I didn't really have a great experience. I met up with a fabulous friend from out of town and really wanted to show her a great local restaurant.

The wait staff was slow even though the restaurant was not very full. My pasta dish was very bland and the clams/mussels were sandy. I tried this place about 4 years ago since it's in my neighborhood and did not have a good experience (burnt meat, bland food). I wanted to give it another try and now I know I won't be back.

Delish, I had one shrimp taco and one fish taco with rice on the side. I'll be coming back and getting one of everything else next time

9/10/2010 Purchased a Yelp Deal
Yes. Yes. YES!

I have some serious tension/stress knots in my neck and shoulders. Jason's man-hands are perfect for those.

I've been to Psoas one other time when the knots got out of hand. It was great, but I wasn't willing to dish out that much money again. So when the Yelp deal came out, it was hard for me to resist.

I loved it, I think it really will be worth my money once in a while and I'll definitely be going there again.

I want my money back.

After less than 24 ours, my pink nail polish has turned a weird bluish color.

We came in after my friend booked an appointment for 6 people one afternoon. We had lunch reservations so were on a time constraint, which the manicurist assured we would be out on time.  By the time I was done with everything, my friend still had her hands in those mittens, they had not even STARTED painting any polish on her at all. We were 30 minutes late to our lunch reservations.  

We had all come in for the $45 Rosemary Mint Combo internet special that is posted on their website (and still is posted on their website). When we got there, they said that the price for that is actually $48. My friend pulled out her iPhone and showed her the online special that said $45. They refused to honor it so we paid an extra $3...not sure what for.

They accept credit card for payment, but not for tips.

With so many cheaper, better nail salons in the city, I will never go back to this one.

This is right around the corner from our office and is quickly becoming one of my favorite watering holes. Happy Hour prices are fair and the it's sort of off the beaten path so you're not fighting for a place to sit. It's a perfect for a place to grab a drink and have good conversation because you can actually hear the person next to you.

I'm a big fan, will definitely be going back soon

CLG is close to my office and is a GREAT alternative to Koh Samui/The Monkey.

The website to order online definitely needs some updating. They don't deliver for lunch.

The duck noodle soup is perfect on a cold day and seasoned very well. I usually get the Pad See Ew without carrots and they're very accommodating. Service is fine, price is fine, food is great

It's an amazing workout, Flavien and Doug are the best instructors and really whip you into shape.

The first couple of classes are really tough since you need to have a little bit of coordination and balance...which I had none of. After that though, you start feeling more confident with the straps, but I still lose my balance at times.

Only gripe is the price, but other than that it's absolutely fantastic.
