The grit cakes might sound odd, but I found they went very well with the stew. Entrees worth trying include the half rotisserie chicken, served with cornbread stuffing and an array of vegetables; the tuna steak, very thick and best when prepared medium rare; or the pork tenderloin.

Recently, I tried the rack of lamb with a habenero pepper sauce. Although it nearly set me ablaze, it was veiy tasty. The wine list is rather extensive and reasonably priced. South By Southwest also has a separate margarita list with some nifty drink ideas. They also have a nice selection of desserts. My favorite is the Godiva chocolate cake, which certainly is worth about an hour on the treadmill. The decor is modern with a southwestern American motif that gives the dining room an open feel.

Goatfeathers Out ef four stars 2017 Devine St. Five Points $$ Goat-Feathers, while serving some commendable dishes, must have some of the worst service I've ever come across. I've dined there on several occasions and have found consistently poor service and often rude servers. As far as food goes, however, the culinary staff produces some above-average creations. They do veiy well with gourmet sandwiches and other entrees. I especially enjoyed their crab cakes, which I found to be some of the best around. Also, in my opinion, Goat-Feathers serves some of the best desserts in Columbia.

But Goat-Feathers isn't always consistent in quality. The kitchen sometimes has off-nights, and my food has arrived cold on more than one visit. As far as a bar and place to hang out late at night, Goat-Feathers isn't bad. The atmosphere is fun and eccentric, and they have an extensive beverage ( selection for those who enjoy topshelf liquors and wines. But take my , advice: sit at the bar. Otherwise, you might need to develop a new life for yourself while waiting for your order.

He was built up to be this incredible presence in the movie. At most, he had three speaking parts. He had about five minutes of screen time before he faced Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.

I don't care what people say. I liked Jar Jar Binks. I thought he was a brilliant character. The trend I'm noticing is that people who liked C-3PO like Jar Jar. Well, I liked 3PO, and I like Jar Jar. I also was annoyed by Yoda in this picture. I thought the whole reversedsentence thing had played its course after two minutes of hearing him talk. But this movie was incredible. Lucas can create a transition from plot to plot like no other. At one time, he's handling the battle on Naboo, the Queen's mission to capture the Viceroy and Anakin's battle with the Trade Federation's space station. Not many can match his skill with so many crossing plots. The score is pure John Williams. Perhaps the best in his lifetime at what he does, Williams has proven his talent with the previous trilogy and the Indiana Jones saga. He doesn't disappoint in his latest triumph. I have seen "The Phantom Menace" twice, and I plan on seeing it again. It's just a joy to watch. Now I know what people my age felt when they were first taken to a place "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away." I can't wait for the next two movies. n mir.
