1/15/2012 Purchased a Yelp Deal
I met Liz through my dear friend Caitlin, and was planning to get my hair color BEFORE the new year, but faith has it , I did not have the time. New Year rolls around, and I am happy to say I am newly engaged- and with super  dark hair, I felt I needed to work towards getting a lighter and warmer hue. With that in mind, I decided to make an appointment with Liz.  I went on Yelp to look up the address, and BEHOLD, I found a coupon ! Well this made the visit even more enticing.  
Parking is a little odd, Park in the Office Depot lot, and walk through the gates that has the Salon sign near it- do not park in the back of the building.
The salon is nice and spacious, but the music is a tad loud to me, but maybe that is just me.  Liz was super nice and we had fun talking about my engagement and sharing with her what I wanted in terms of color. She gave great advice on how to go 2 shades lighter without damaging my hair.  Her highlight technique was great, very thin and natural, and she touched up on my gray hair in the process as well.  The color (roots) and highlights came our very nice.  The Price was even better! It was very reasonable.  I also was recommended Moroccan-oil and the styling cream ( 20% off promo) , so I bought it, and was entered into a drawing, which I ended up winning!! All in all, Love Love Liz's hair coloring technique, and side note, the shampoo bowl is very comfy and ergonomic.

When you decide to go Ask for Liz and tell Her you read Tulie's review so I can get some discounts on my next visit!

Went here for the second time, and definitely worth every penny! Shared a bottle of Wine, ordered a small order of pasta and a side of beets, and total price came out to be 30 bucks including tip:) This time I got the PAPPARDELLE / carbonara, crispy farm egg, bacon, backyard herbs, parmesan, cracked pepper Pasta, and it was so delicious that I wished I ordered the full entree! The beets were simmered in some Italian seasoning and had a very sweet taste, almost like eating sugar, but you can tell it's from the sweetness of the beets. I love this place.. the ambiance and the service is top notched.. Kinda wished the Greeter was friendlier though. This place is like a high end place for all the cool hipsters to work .

I went to Salon Red for a Haircut awhile back, and the service and their products are great! I came here last week, and was able to buy 3 clutches for 50% off for my bridal party. The clutches were beautful and will make a great gift.  They not only cut and style hair, they sell cute accessories like purses, clutches, and jewelry. They use bumble bumble brand for hair styling products, all which smells great!

So good and Fresh! Who Would think it's in OTP? The place is visually appealing, so if you need a nice place to take someone on a 1st date, this is it! My boyfriend and I opted for the Sushi and Sashimi Combo for 2, and it came we so much food- the rolls were delicious , it came with a salmon roll, tuna roll, various types of Sashimis from Salmon ( which was nice and fatty) to Esabar which is a clean white fatty fish.  Service was prompt and quiet- For a Japanese place, they had a good amount of beer, wine, and cocktails on their menu as well.  I will definitely need and want to come back for more! A shout out to my ITP friends for making it out here before I did!! (Todd P. , Zack E. , and Gretchen O.)

Came here with my friend Todd P. Who beat me to it with writing a fantastic review! So just read his review:)

I need to add that the lamb vindaloo I ordered  was a 3  level , highest is 7and it was pretty spicey, it does not hit you until you eat like 3 bites!

The food is fantastic as leftovers and made my coworkers salivate!

Do go to this place if you feel like good authentic Indian food, especially if you live near Brookhaven since it is hard to find such a place in this area.

Service is friendly too!

This Mall is right by my work, and so when I have a long lunch period, I will  swing by here and walk around the mall, and stop by Ross and Saks Off 5th Ave.

The Mall is huge, most stores I would not shop at but the main larger stores are solid. BCBG , Forever 21, Nike, to name a few.

The food court has the best Burger King Burger, made fresh and the bun is not flattened and distorted- the fries always hot and crispy! Solid Food Court for a lunch time !

This place is less expensive then H-mart, but the freshness of the produce is somethimes questionable. I like to swing by here since it is near my work- and the meats and seafood is A-OK!

I really enjoy the food court, the prices are reasonable and quick for lunch! Would definitely recommend the food court if you want a quick Asian meal of Japanese, Korean, or Chinese Food.

I am definitely a fan of this place! We ordered a catering event here for my company's business lunch and it was delicious and fresh as ordering at the restaurant. I have eaten in the restaurant, ordered to go, and both have been a great experience. I definitely recommend the Newk's Chicken and BBQ Sandwich, with their white cream BBQ Sauce. It is very good. The fresh  bread is crispy on the outside and hot and soft in the inside.  The magical sandwich is amazing and is the best on the menu! All the other items on menu are good and fresh as well, but the BBQ Chicken sandwich is the best!

Service if phenomenal - especially for a busy lunch time restaurant. Everyone is nice, friendly, and the service is quick and effortless. They are definitely doing something right!

Had one of the best seafood dinners since moving to Georgia! The restaurant building itself looks 80's cheesy, but once you enter, it has a dark wood, hotel restaurant feel.  They have a display case of their seafood, and I noticed how gorgeous the seabass looked, so definitely wanted that as an entree dinner. We ended up getting 2 appetizers and sharing an entree.

Appetizer:

Crab with Spinache Dip served with deep fried wonton skins: can I say amazing? Mounds and Mounds of Crab Morsel that went beautifully with the creamy spinache dip. The appetizer was Huge, so if you plan on getting this for 2 people, this is plenty!

Blue point oysters: They were HUGE!! Last time we came here it was puney and small- this time it was double in size with a nice gritty ocean taste! My BF loves Blue points and her loved these!

Entree:

Seabass lightly coated with flour and seared served with a butter and capers sauce, sides were rice pilaf and spinache , both went perfectly with the fish! it was SOOOOO GOOOD!

Our waiter Ryan was very nice and helpful and made the evening better with his recommendations!

Would definitely come back to get the same exact Meal!

Went here with a group of friends and food lovers! We ordered a mass amount of food, and very much enjoyed every bite of it!
What we ordered:

1) Chicken wings ( deep fried, hot and crispy, and well seasoned, tasy as an appetizer of with rice!)

2) Fried Oysters! this is one of my favorites! The oysters are HUGE!! and very juicy, lightly battered!

3) House Special Boneless Flounder with Veggies

4) Mixed Special Pan Fried Hoi Fun: The rice noodles are made in house! Sauce is yummy, with large shrimps, bbq pork, chicken , scallops, and veggies

5) House Special Chicken and Green, like Diana Said it is tasty!  Hope you like Cilantro and Raw Green Onions, because this is the greens!

6) Salt and Peppered Seafood: Consists of Squid, Shrimp and Scallops, lightly bathed in corn starch and deep fried and tossed in salt n pepper mixture! SO GOOD!!

The portions are Large and service is quick and effortless!
