    Food and service were great. Neat concept - serving food as a flight, as well as serving wines like that. The table was kinda small - we both had wine flights and dinner flights that took up a lot of room. Very noisy. Don’t plan on having conversations.

    Whether you have a special gathering of friends or just need to pamper yourself, the Beauty Shop never fails to exceed expectations! We love the “knife & fork salads” where you can add chicken, fish etc. & make it a full meal or omit the add-ons & go light! Service is always super, & enjoy talking with the many young people on the team.
