| - Looking for well-designed, interesting glasses at a reasonable price and with great customer service? GO HERE. Absolutely fantastic. A friend of mine in Chicago had told me about this place, so when I saw that one had opened here I decided to check it out. I was worried it'd be a bit too fashion-y for me, that they'd be "too cool" jerks because I'm a sort of nerdy schlub, but they were totally wonderful. Just super passionate about what they do. Some of their opening suggestions for frames were... a little more out-of-the-box than I really wanted to go, but once I gave them an idea of what my tastes were they were really helpful in finding the right fit. I'm very particular about my glasses and will spend ages looking for the *right* pair, fussing over tiny details I dislike, but all of their glasses are just so thoughtfully designed that I ran into way less of that. Plenty of things didn't work for me - there's a lot of unconventional frames that you might be wary of - but the things that worked WORKED.
Their prices are also way more reasonable than you'd think from the upscale vibe - another reviewer on here said they were expensive and I don't know where they've been getting their glasses, because I've bought a whole lot of 'em in the last 18 years, and this was on the cheap side compared to, say, Lenscrafters, for something considerably more unique. I mean, yeah, you can get a pair for less at one of the discount places, but I've never found anything there that met my standards - I mean, they're pretty much part of my face, I want to do it right. So if you plan on spending several hundred dollars to get new frames anyway, you owe it to yourself to at least check here; it's really nothing like any other glasses store I've ever been to.
Both my roommate and I got glasses here a few months ago, and when we came back last weekend so that she could also get a pair of sunglasses, the manager and staff remembered us and greeted us warmly. More frames aren't in the budget for me right now, but the instant they are I know where I'll be going.
