Apex Nails
Nail Salon review, Part II. I hate to give anyone a bad review, but that’s kinda the purpose of this website, so here it goes. Upon first impression, Apex Nails seems like a great full-service nail salon. They have an impressive number of spa pedicure chairs that face a long row of nail stations along a mirrored wall. There are 3 flat screen televisions on the mirrored wall, tuned to whatever the... read more

Sonobana
I have yet to really spend much time preparing reviews of local Sushi/Japanese restaurants, mostly because I know how much time it is going to take, but I think I better bite the bullet on this one and just do one at a time. Sonobana is one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in Nashville (their website is a little lacking, but has a pretty decent listing of their food choices). It is located in Lions Head... read more
