Disaster. Complete and utter disaster on their end.

Just like the other reviews, at any given moment, there will be about 20 nail techs ready to work. And like Bridget, I ALWAYS seem to get the guy.. Not necessarily a bad thing, he does a decent job, but I look at some of the women that work and they do better jobs. As opposed to other manicures, this place always lasts longer than others, so I continue to go. And they sell OPI, which I am discovering is kind of hard to get my hands on for some reason.

Although I am not a fan of the bread, everything about Mr. Sub makes me so happy. It is extremely inexpensive, the staff is wonderful and they remember me and my friend and are friendly every time we are in, and their food is great in comparison to other sub shops.. *ahem* subway..

Is it sad that I actually really liked this place !?!
We stopped in for lunch a couple weeks ago, and it was rather interesting walking in at first. We were greeted right away, our server was fantastic, didn't miss a beat. My burger was fantastic. Seriously, one of the best I have had in a while. I was content with that, definitely.
We'll be back for sure, no questions asked.

Stopped in the other evening for deserts and cocktails with a few friends, and actually dug the place. The decor was nice and enjoyable, we all managed to fit on one sofa though so we weren't having to yell across the table.. which is how it would've happened. Our server was decent, nothing too impressive. Drinks were good, and deserts even better! The drinks were decently priced - $7-10$ for specialty cocktails that we ordered, $10-$17 range for deserts and apps. Not too bad of a place!

I was so happy with my decision to come into this cute little shop. They have a wonderful, beautiful selection of fresh flowers and are willing to help you hand pick them (since I am incapable of that, apparently.) They added some greens to spruce up my bouquet willingly, and sent me on my way with many thanks. I LOVE fresh flowers in my apartment, and will be stopping by often to pick up some now !

Why have I never ever been here??
The lettuce wraps are tasty, Sweet and sour chicken was delicious, and my fried rice was fantastic.
The service was great as well, I was very impressed. My little sister is extremely picky and I was not expecting them to be so accommodating to her taste.
I am always in need of Chinese food, and thank god I finally know where this place is.

I absolutely love Dvora, and she gets the job done flawlessly.
After an incident resulting in my broken pearls, I was referred to her by a friend who has used her on multiple occasions. My mom estimated around 90$ for them to be fixed... a whopping 35$. I am extremely impressed and extremely grateful to have found her!!

Tarascas International

Tarascas stands for "we bite" apparently.
Although I wanted to like this place, I just couldn't. Of course I am biased coming from Best Mexican Food capitol of the US, but this is not the place for good, authentic mexican food. Their guacamole was the only thing really worth mentioning.
I La la loved my margaritas though!! They did get those right. And the service was awesome as well. I'll probably be back just for some killer margs that are "as big as your head."

I absolutely love Conservatories, and this one is great.
They upkeep the place wonderfully for how understaffed they are, and the tours are great, too!
I was very impressed by the Orchid room as well, I honestly never knew there were so many... all simply stunning.
Definitely come to warm up in the winter !!
