I was looking for embellishments for my trip to the south and I was so happy to find everything I needed here at Scrapbook Island! There is such an excellent selection and the prices are great. Plus you can give them your e-mail and get coupons. The staff was very helpful. I love coming here to find what I need as far as embellishments and paper.
I was amazed what a $25 Groupon could get you here. I was seated right away and liked the modern, clean look of the place. The chairs were comfortable, and it was great to have the little massage. One employee worked on the pedicure while the other did the manicure, and it was great to chat with them the whole time - they were very friendly! The pedicure included orange sugar pumice, a minty blue moisturizer, and paraffin wax, and both the pedicure and manicure included really nice massages of my arms and legs. Everything went smoothly and the employees were very careful and took their time, which was fine since I wasn't in a hurry. I was very happy with my first mani-pedi experience!

No complaints here! Super close to King Street, adorable and cozy rooms with canopy beds and even a little balcony, (super) friendly staff, and a fine continental breakfast. There's even a jacuzzi, and outside there is a nice space to sit and relax. You can either find street parking or park across the street ($12 a night). The price was reasonable, especially for a holiday weekend (about $129). Great old-style charm!

Saw the row of daiquiri machines and thought I was in heaven :) Got the chocolate daiquiri and it really did taste like a Fudgesicle as advertised! ...Which can be deceiving. You really get your bang for your buck at $6 each. You can also sample the different ones to see which you'd like, or mix some together; they give recommendations as well. Great to sit at the bar or inside the restaurant. And good thing we were in walking distance!

I loved the atmosphere here - upscale but still homey. The food was good and there was a good variety of items. I tried the shrimp and grits, and while it wasn't as rich as other places, it was still good. Cornbread on the side was great too! Random sidenote: my companion had a hard time with the men's bathrooms because the doors are blurred glass that you can still kind of see through rather than actual solid doors :)
Thank you Crab House for this Southern experience :) Hush puppies and collard greens are now crossed off of my list of things to try and savor! My food was amazing. We came for Restaurant Week and they had a prix fixe menu for $20 each. I thought it was a great deal. Everything was excellent. The shrimp and grits were delicious, as were my crabcakes. The services was friendly and attentive, and I have to say this is the first time I've eaten somewhere where I could look out the window and see dolphins :)
I enjoyed my visit here and was glad to finally learn of it despite going to the Pruneyard a good number of times! The atmosphere is loud and yet a little more intimate as far as seating and lighting. I ordered the vegetable enchiladas and they came with so much sauce (don't mind that!). I thought they tasted great, and I loved the rice. I was impressed that it came with the salad, rice and beans. I also had sangria and it was really sweet and easy to drink. The prices are decent, maybe a little high for what you get, but I would come back.

I've been here twice and have loved it every time. The food is decent, the beer and cider are great, and the service is wonderful and friendly. I usually get a veggie burger (I can substitute the veggie patty in any of the regular burgers); the fries are great. We have special-ordered brownies with vanilla ice cream and bacon on top, and it's simply amazing, melt-in-your-mouth awesomeness. The prices are decent too. There are always lots of people and I love how bustling it is.
An excellent experience! I wheeled my bike over because it kept getting flat tires. Even though the place was full with people waiting for their bikes to be repaired, the staff took my bike right away and it was ready in about 10 minutes with a new tube and a new lining in the tire. I was charged an entire $10... what a deal :)
Wow, I'm so glad I tried this place. We came on a Friday evening after the dinner rush and were seated right away. I loved the interior of the place - very modern yet cozy. The service was great, fast and very friendly. I loved the menu and the whole section of vegetarian items. I ordered the vegetarian burger, where the patty is actually fried polenta, and it was probably one of the best veggie burgers I've ever had. It came with a side of fries as well, and while I'm usually not a fry person, these ones were too good to resist. The prices were reasonable. I'd love to come again.
