Full Moon yoga on a full moon night... HOW CLEVER IS THAT. It didn't hit me until the instructor…read morementioned the full moon and I thought it totally makes sense now! But really, this was such a great experience, especially for someone new to the area and to yoga. It was a little intimidating at first being around so many people who are good at it! Pineapple Studios, Jess, was an amazing instructor who made it feel so welcoming and comfortable. Whenever we moved into new poses or held poses, she never made it feel like you had to if you weren't capable. Always providing other options and reminding us to breathe in and take on the experience and calmness of the night. ARRIVE Hotel is gorgeous. I want to stay there even though I only live 10 minutes away. It looks like a gorgeous space, it was awesome doing yoga in the courtyard. It seems like such a lax place to hang out and spend time vacationing. The snacks and refreshments from Adapt Bar & Kitchen we so tasty! The ginger drinks and THOSE BROWNIES. Wow, I could have eaten 100 of those, good thing I didn't. All of their items were so unique and tasty, I eventually went to visit the shop to get a smoothie I was so in love. THANKS YES FOR THIS EXPERIENCE!

Very unique and refreshing experience! Doing the flow in the courtyard of a beautiful hotel under…read morethe moonlight was amazing. I especially loved the Adapt team that was there sharing their story and some of their goodies. The juices and snacks they shared with the a yelp team were absolutely delicious. They also gave gift bags with some practical things in it. Have not been to an event in a while, it was a great reminder of some of the different businesses and people you get to meet as a part of being active with the Yelp community!!

Of all my favorite restaurants, Olivero tops them all for atmosphere, food quality and professional…read morestaff and service. This is one of those menus that everything's looks amazing. Presentations and food quality is incredible. The restaurant is clean and well laid out, but the best seat is at the kitchen bar. The open kitchen setting is the best. The entire team is the height of professional. My new favorite restaurant of all time.

We were genuinely excited to dine here after hearing so many wonderful things about the restaurant…read moreand its James Beard-recognized chef. Unfortunately, our experience was incredibly disappointing. Our group of friends ordered our entire meal at once and had just received our appetizers when a staff member abruptly came to our table and, in a very rude and confrontational manner, told us to "be quiet" because we were being too loud. We understand that restaurants have to maintain a comfortable atmosphere for all guests, and if our volume had become an issue, a polite and discreet request would have been completely appropriate. Instead, we felt embarrassed and scolded. The interaction left us so uncomfortable that one member of our party immediately asked for the check and told them we would be leaving before our entrées were even served. Rather than apologizing, showing any empathy, or attempting to salvage the situation, the staff simply brought the bill, set it on the table, and walked away. What was most disappointing wasn't being asked to lower our voices--it was how we were treated afterward. Hospitality is about making guests feel welcome, even when an awkward situation arises. There was no apology, no acknowledgment that the interaction could have been handled better, and no effort whatsoever to make things right. Given the restaurant's reputation, we expected exceptional food paired with exceptional hospitality. Sadly, while we may never know how the main course would have been, the service ensured we won't be returning.

The Kitchen Sink ice cream was a really unique flavor. It's vanilla ice cream mixed with sprinkles,…read morecookie crumbs, and brownie pieces, which gave it a fun mix of textures and flavors. We also got four pieces of fudge for $20. The fudge flavors we tried were Cookies and Cream, Reese's Pieces, Coffee Toffee, and Maple Nut. The Cookies and Cream fudge was good but extremely sweet, to the point where it started to hurt my teeth. The Reese's Pieces fudge was probably my favorite because of the crunchy pieces, but it was also very dense and filling. The Coffee Toffee had a strong coffee flavor, which I liked, but it had the same issue of being overly sweet. The Maple Nut had a nice maple syrup flavor but was also very heavy. Maybe I'm just not the biggest fudge person, but I found most of the flavors to be a little too dense and sugary. That being said, I would definitely come back for the ice cream. The service was great, especially since we came in right before closing. The staff was patient, friendly, and let us try different ice cream samples before deciding. I would recommend stopping by for the ice cream, but the fudge might be a bit much unless you have an insane sweet tooth.

Great spot for fudge right near the boardwalk. I got a flavor that was vanilla with peanut butter,…read moreand my husband got peanut butter fudge. The staff was very helpful explaining how things work, and they also sell ice cream. If you want fudge or other sweet treats, stop by!

The selection downstairs and in the vault is ever changing and always worthy. I like that there are always a proper selection of Spurs and gose available for the sampling. Delicious stouts, imperials, porters, the dark things that make my heart sing. The atmosphere and design are stunning. Wonderful use of space, existing materials, and repurposed materials. The tap room is great - the behind the scenes view is even better!! On to the food! Flat breads so crisp and flaVorful. The pretzels! Can not stop raving about those pretzels and beer cheese dip!! Thanks to Lenzie for setting up a great event! Thanks Brian for the tour! We'll be back again and again! For the next 10 Years!

I arrived a bit early (so what else is new?) and had an opportunity to speak with the owner and hear his plans for expanding his business. The selection of beers was amazing; being a fan of Darth Vader and the dark side, I discovered a Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout that was heavenly; I tried a few others (light and dark), but always came back to this beauty. They have a real nice selection of wines as well in the vault (place was once a bank) and the food was great. Really nice pretzels (reminiscent of some I had in Germany at a beer garden many years ago) with delicious cheese dip. Salsa (not as spicy as I normally like, but quite good) and different kinds of flat bread. All yummy, all which made me thirsty so I had to get more beer (why I used Lyft to get there and get home). Looking forward to a long relationship with this place. Y'all should try it out.

What a way to spend a Sunday morning! I could get used to this. My friend Trisha and I attended the…read moreYelp! Elite Golden Salon and Dry Bar party this am and I had so much fun. After meeting Dani and grabbing a mimosa, I was greeted by the owner who asked if I wanted a blow out. Having rolled out of bed it was a no-brainer. She gave me a great shampoo and blowdry and styled my hair to the point where it felt light and with a natural wave. It was beautiful! I wanted to go out instead of to the soccer fields. We met with the owner of Missio, who provided the products for the event while sipping tea from Tama. The tea was amazing as usual and the women from Missio were so passionate about their products and their efforts to fight human trafficking. I really enjoyed talking with them. As we were leaving, Dani gave us a goodie bag full of pampering items. I will definitely go back to Golden Salon and loved this event.

Dani did a great job hosting the event and providing different samples from many businesses,…read moreincluding tea from Tama Cafe and pastries from Far from France. The goody bag also had many different samples I am looking forward to trying! I tried the Mango Verde tea from Tama Cafe, which had a very light mango and tea flavor. It wasn't my favorite flavor. The pastries, on the other hand, were delicious. I tried the spinach and cheese, egg, and chocolate. All were good but my favorite was the spinach and cheese. The pastries were flaky, as they should be and just decadent. Some of the products Golden Salon and Dry Bar Staff uses are from MISSIO, a hair product company that exists to inspire and empower a movement of people in the fight against human trafficking, as described on their website. MISSIO representatives were present at the event and were very friendly. Calan from Golden Salon and Dry Bar washed and blow-dried my hair, using MISSIO shampoo and conditioner. After blow-drying my hair, she used MISSIO coconut cleansing powder dry shampoo and MISSIO texture paste. All of the products had a pleasant light scent. Calan was very friendly and did a nice job with my hair. This place would be great for anyone looking to pamper themselves. I would definitely like to come back to this place to try a haircut! Thank you Dani for organizing this event!!
