Food Scene
Amazing food! Huge (family-style) portions, high quality, relaxed. Worth the wait! This place is totally a tiny gem hidden away on the Bayfront. Great place to get a little dressed up at night, bat your eyelashes in the low light, and have a little too much wine with your fantastic seafood. Not pretentious. Very down to earth, happy vibe. All about the food here :) Did we mention HUGE PORTIONS? We suggest making reservations. Seriously. This place is TINY. You want to book a table, especially on weekends!!

Essentials
This is NOT a large Salon, and the specialized, personalized service you get is always friendly and excellent! We personally love getting our toes done together, gel sets, waxing, and eyelash extensions. Super relaxing! They do hair too :) Just walk in or give them a call. Totally worth the time and money!

Always open 24 hours a day, clean, and plenty of washers. This place gets busy though, and we suggest going in for their "early bird specials" when you get $ off your washes for being there crazy early in the AM :) There's a little kids section, air conditioning, big screen tvs everywhere, and restaurants around every corner.
