    I had been waiting what felt like an eternity to try out this disco-themed speakeasy! Disco balls,…read morelots of moving lights, swanky vibes, groovy music, and attentive and intelligent servers! Love it! I started out with a cocktail - the Mega Viral! Once you try it, you will understand the name. One of the more innovative cocktails I have ever had... and I ended up having two! So delicious and an experience in itself!! We enjoyed some light bites as well - the Edamame Hummus and Shishito Peppers. Both were fantastic! I love that their menu points out which items are gluten-free... and our server even warned me that the plantain chips in the Edamame Hummus could have cross-contamination... so I very much appreciate that heads up! I opted to order them anyway and I am so glad I did - so good! And I experienced no gluten issues. Awesome! I'm already looking forward to a return trip!

The chicken tenders were fire!!! What is lacking on this occasion was service. The server that we had was so unattentative. I have never been in a cocktail lounge in my life and had to beg for drinks. Our server would wait until every drinks was made for all of her tables before bringing out drinks. It was ridiculous. She was nice but seemed high. I ended up only having 2 drinks. We would have ordered more but they have 90min max seating and we didn't event get drinks for the first 30min. No exaggeration. Also one of my drinks I had to send back. My apple martini tasted like soap. It was like they did clean the glass after giving a soap bath. No bueno. So they need to get their service to match the vibe of a true cocktails lounge. Yes it is a 70s vibe but doesn't mean the lackadaisical style service. I would come back and try again. The music, the atmosphere and the food was good. They gotta get these cocktails together and service. We ended up walking to nearby competitors and that was money lost for DDG.

    Quality, speed, and great customer service. What's not to rave about?…read more Having 'long' hair can cause a few issues with getting highlights and a color in at most places. Having gone to multiple colorist, I can say it can be an all day event with no real reason for it, since the time frame varies drastically from colorist to colorist. The only answer is lack of experience, even at top end salons. With Albina I can see the expertise from the moment I sat down. Not only was she professional, but efficient. After the coloring, I got a light layered trim with face framing that only added to the healthy glow of my 'long' locks. Did I mention she does nails, eyebrows, and make up as well? Get your appointments in now as this gem of a cosmetologist will fill up fast. Thanks for the great color, I look forward to my next appointment!

I gave her the benefit of the doubt that she had no idea her business phone was not working for a month!! Well, since my first and only appointment with Albina it has now been a battle to schedule a return visit. I am a full time worker and help raise an 8 year old. I work 5 days a week 7-4 PM with weekends off. I texted Albina various times trying to get in. After her responding days later or not at all I have decided to let her just keep the free money because she is never going to be available when I am. She does not work on Saturday's...couldn't schedule a 4:30 or anything before 7:30 PM any day during the week...So unless your schedule is completely wide open then I DO NOT recommend wasting your time or money. I gave her all opportunity and I am now very disappointed and wanted to make sure no one else bought the Groupon without knowing her very limited availability! Lesson learned here. Enjoy the free money Albina!!

My husband and I both had massages with Claire and Jessenia and they were excellent. Rose, who checked me in, was great from start to finish. She made me feel comfortable right away and was so helpful throughout my visit. The relaxation room was one of my favorite parts. It had a beautiful view that made it feel even more peaceful, along with yummy treats like chocolates, dried fruit, tea, and fruit-infused water. Since the room is co-ed, I felt a little uncomfortable being in just a robe at first, but Rose immediately made accommodations and set me up in a private space until my massage, which I really appreciated. I also thought it was super thoughtful that in the women's locker room they had a jar of rubber bands. Such a small detail, but very convenient after a massage. Overall, it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end, and I'd definitely recommend Inspire Spa. Just a heads up about the co-ed relaxation room so guests can plan accordingly.

    It had been years since my last experience so I booked a facial. I'd never had a facial before…read more This time, I was introduced to the bathroom and relaxation area and provided a robe and slippers. The relaxation area is small but has tea and chocolates. The water dispenser didn't work. Maybe it was clogged. The facial was relaxing, but maybe I'm not a facial person because I left wishing I'd booked a massage instead. And even worse, I lost an earring during the facial that hasn't been recovered. I'm so sad.

    I got my nails done here for my wedding and I have some very mixed reviews on it…read more I ended up getting a pedicure (the classic) and a full acrylic set (french tip and chrome). I paid an arm and a leg for the services and i felt like the quality could have been better. First off, for my pedicure I wanted to get a white sparkly polish for my toes and chose it from the book... no one warned me that they put a white coat under the samples in the book, so the polish came out a very sheer grey and not at all like the book showed. The lady doing my pedicure was nice and the calf and foot treatments were good, plus there was a massage chair. As for my finger nails, the person doing my nails was not all that friendly, he handled my hands pretty roughly, demanded that i leave my nails as long as he had them (which ended up looking good but some more explanation would have been nice), and would lightly hit each finger with the nail file when he wanted me to put it down, which i felt came off a little rude. I was also disappointed by the fact that there was multiple parts of the nails that were missing polish (like the very top and sides) and he left a large build up of some sort of acrylic powder or something underneath the nail which really bothered me. I would have gone back in and asked for it to get fixed but unfortunately i did it the day before my wedding and didn't have time to go back and fix it. I am a big believer in "you get what you pay for" and i think if my total had been lower i wouldn't have been so frustrated, but because it was SO pricey, i think the attention to detail and service should have been better.
