We called an made reservations to have a couple's massage. We had a small problem finding it at first. HINT:Don't park out front. There is AMPLE parking on the side but if not looking you won't see it. We headed inside; the therapists were waiting on the steps for us. They guided us upstairs. She told us before we entered that they were remodeling so "bear with us." We stepped into the lobby and it was like stepping into a totally different building. She made small talk as she led us to the changing room. She gave us instructions, left us to undress and lock away our belongings. After we changed, we made our way into the sitting room where they asked us what we would like to drink: Organic juices, wine, or champagne. They left us there for a few minutes to talk. The massage therapists came in and led us to the room were we would get our massages. It was a cozy small room (but not tiny) with two heated massage tables. They gave us their names and told us which table each one would be at. You just choose the table you want when they leave the room. They told us to disrobe and lie face down on the table and cover with a sheet. They left the room while we got situated. They ask what areas you want focus on.. if any and also tell you that if it is too hard or too soft let them know and the can adjust the pressure to your liking. They work your whole back side: back, neck, arms, legs, and feet. It seemed as time flew by after about 60 mins she whispered it was time to flip, she held up the sheet and I flipped to my back. She spent 30 mins on my face, scalp, legs, & arms. She even massage my ear lobes! After we were done, they left the room and when you re-robe you go back into the sitting room and the brought in a fresh fruit salad, pastry, and H20. They leave you to finish up and you go back and dress when you're ready. All in all: We paid $200 (plus tip) for two 90 minute massages and felt as if we got the better deal. We will be back. Mother's Day is coming up! (Hint)

Pros: Everything...

Cons: Location.... finding it!

my best friend came up from charlotte to give me a massage for my birthday. we decided to do the couple's massage... Pre-massage: we were met at the door by 1 masseuse and led to a rickety dirty elevator and up to the location. she told us the dressing room was full - and led us to the waiting room - offered us drinks. came back with them and then told us the dressing room was ready and then asked us why we brought our drinks. they only had L and XL robes and S and M slippers - my friends feet were hanging out of the slippers and her robe hanging off her body. then they led us back to the waiting room and we were there less than 5 minutes before they took us to the room. The Massage: weak. that is the best way to describe it. it felt like they were Barely touching us. my friend said she kept getting the shortest strokes - like the girl would start at her elbow and stop the stroke even before she got to her wrist!!! WTF? also Unsanitary. since the person massage my friend kept coughing on her. (afterwards, we noticed two taped gauze things on each arm - like she had just had shots... maybe it was allergies - but it's NOT the thing you want to see when someone is COUGHING on you during your MASSAGE!!!!!) when it was over - they led us back to the waiting room - where we got to Finally drink our drinks. then 1 girl came back with a tray and said (and i quote:) 'Here are your OrganTic desserts" - my friend and i just looked at each other and said ' did she just...? wow. about the OrganTic desserts: my friend described hers as: "a poppyseed muffin that was turned upside down and squished and spread with a dallop of glaze" if you are going to tote the organic dessert as such a selling point. know that it is ORGANIC - (no T) and make it look a Little appetizing please. overall - i would NEVER go back there and i apologized profusely to my friend for spending $140 dollars on such a waste. it was embarrasing.

Pros: none

Cons: atmosphere - massage skill - vocabulary - the dessert - HORRIBLE. WASTE of $$$$
