I've been going to Summer for hair color and cuts consistently for over a year. She never fails to give me a lift -- both with my color and my mood. Her knowledge of color and products is truly impressive and I know I can trust her recommendations.

I love this place for brunch. The menu has great variety and works for everyone including kids, dieters and meat lovers.

My favorites are the fresh fruit crepes and the Far West Omelette.

Kudos to First Watch for their website as well. It contains allergen and nutrition info.

Yagu  

Category: Asian Fusion
Neighborhood: Chesterfield

5.0 star rating

My husband and I went looking for a casual meal before a movie and stepped into Yagu. Wow! It more than exceeded expectations. Yagu is in the strip mall near the Starbucks ... but don't let that deter you from checking this out. Inside, the decor and ambiance is upscale and modern, yet not so fussy that you can't bring the whole family.

The menu is quite nice with a variety of Asian fusion dishes and sushi selections. There's even a kids' menu. I was in love with my meal of miso soup, tuna and avocado roll and pineapple fried rice. Everything was the perfect temperature and very fresh. My husband was equally impressed with his Sushi rolls and a seafood dish with udon noodles.

The service was impeccable. You know the kind where they quickly whisk away a straw wrapper but manage not to interrupt your meal or conversation.

This one is a keeper. I hope restaurant patrons in Chesterfield look away from the chain restaurants to the other side of the street and  find this gem.

I've been going to Muse for almost 2 years. I initially chose Muse because of its convenient location but I would go here for color and styles even if it was out of my way.

Muse is my little oasis where I can get pampered for a bit. I just walk in the door here and begin to relax, My stylist Nicki always has new ideas and is very experienced with color. I haven't been disappointed yet.

Muse always has some great deals and they can even  me appointment reminders. This place is all about making you look and feel good.

Don't let the strip mall scare you off, Crazy Sushi is the real deal (for the Midwest anyway). This place blows away the local chains. It's small and can get crowded. It's definitely not fast-food. So just relax and watch chef crafting your meal.
The cabbage salad is a favorite of mine and I haven't tried a roll here I didn't like.

This is our family's favorite Chinese take-out place. Of course they also deliver when you're simply too lazy to get your own food.

My kid's favorites are the sweet and sour chicken, crab rangoon and pot stickers. My husband is a huge fan of the General Tso's and I enjoy both the cashew chicken or green pepper steak. The egg drop soup is always hot and yummy even when you have it delivered.

If you've got a Chinese food craving in O'Fallon, check out 88 China.

Brooklyn's Old Neighborhood Syle Pizzeria  

Category: Pizza

4.0 star rating
7/11/2009
I've eaten at Brooklyn's twice and I live 650 miles away! The Firewheel location is near Grandpa's house and my family loves this place. There's even a playstation for the kids.

I am a huge fan of the pizza. The Brooklyn Meat is piled with meat and the crust is a delight. My kids adore the soda bar because they can squirt cherry, vanilla or chocolate syrup in their sodas. Of course, the combinations they came up with were not always delightful (i.e chocolate + fruit punch)

I've never visited while the place was packed. My only negative is that the service is a little slow and the counter is sometimes unmanned.

I turned to this EyeMasters when my daughter broke her glasses while we were on vacation. I had very limited time and came into this store just a little frantic. The staff here were incredibly helpful. They listened and grasped my situation immediately.

While my daughter was picking out new frames, they called our doctor in Missouri for the prescription and checked insurance coverage. They were highly efficient and pleasant. On top of that the frames and lenses were done on time and were exactly as ordered allowing my family to continue on with our vacation.

I really wish all businesses operated this way!

My all-time favorite hotel. This one is a gem in busy NYC. The Library Hotel not only brings the library theme to life in every room, but the hotel transforms your day with its feeling of unhurried serenity. I did not want to check out. Hoping to get back to NY soon so I can revisit the Library Hotel.

Monkey Joe's

I used Monkey Joe's for my son's 5th birthday. While, the kids seemed to have a great time, I did not. I will not host another party there. Compared to other birthday party locations, Monkey Joe's needs to work on organization and customer service. The party "helpers" were not helpful. They failed to have any system to organize the kids. Party check-in was complete chaos and I ended up getting charged for two extra kids from someone else's party. The pizza failed to arrive on time so our party ran very late. The inept teen-age party "helper" did not have any sense of organization, serving skills or know how to entertain or deal with children.

When you shell out the big bucks for this type of service, you're expecting the place to manage the details. Monkey Joe's is not that type of place. I felt completely ripped off and I'm sure the parents who brought their kids were unimpressed as well.
