We decided to first get a pedicure. Our color? On Collins Ave from the new OPI South Beach Collection. (Hope the spa at W South Beach has this line at their spa!) We sat back in the chair with out a Coconut Mojito and before Nita, our deft esthetician could even have her way with our ragged cuticles, we placed an order from the new Spaahh Menu for a BOKA Grilled Cheese + Soup. The pedicure had hardly even began and we were already in heaven. Helping that along was the poor subterranean cellphone reception in the spa--so no texting, BBMing, Facebooking or Twittering.
BOKA chef Angie Roberts has created a spa menu that caters to our good angel/bad devil eating mood swings. Health-conscious work-out-aholics and skinny chicks who complain about being fat will like the Angelic Morsels side of the menu. It features Caesar Salad, Baby Lettuce Salad, Roasted Tomato Bisque, Sugarcane Skewered Mini Crab Cakes, Wild Alaskan King Salmon Burger and some specialty sodas (Seattle-made DRY Soda and Thomas Kemper) and non-alcoholic bevs, including Cactus Cooler, a girly pink refresher with prickly pear puree, ginger ale and fresh lime.
The wickedly hungover, women with raging PMS, or those on the heels of a bad break-up will find caloric solace with the Sinful Indulgences, which includes: Smoked Seafood Chowder, BOKA Grilled Cheese + Soup, BOKA Burger, Grilled Painted Hill’s Beef Satay, and Mussels + Frites, as well as a handful of signature cocktails. We generally subscribe to a sinful school of thought, where fat, alcohol and a killer pedicure can pretty much can solve all of life’s problems. The menu is available daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Right now, Spaahh has a few August treatment specials: A 45-minute Carita Sunflower Facial (regularly $95, now $75) and a Mojito Pedi (a classic pedi paired with BOKA’s Coconut Mojito, $65). They also offer a slew of lunch hour express services (here’s to multitasking and the three-mojito lunch!) and on Thursday, August 27th, from 4 – 8:30 p.m., will host “A Tribute to Laughter – Keep Smiling, Erase the Laugh-lines” event. Forty-five bucks and an RSVP buys you 30-minute mini anti-aging facials and wine and cheese bites.
