South By Southwest is a newer,
trendy addition to Columbia's family
of restaurants. The executive chef creates
some excellent, but often pricey,
dishes and always gives out hearty portions.
As an appetizer, I recommend the
chicken chili stew, served with grit

cakes. 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.
Be sure to ask your server to tell
you about the evening specials, as well.

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. All in all, South By

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. Check out their killer
cheesecakes and other sweets, al|fl

personal favorite, MP3 streaming

sweet tooth. 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.

STAR WARS continued from page 7
If there's one complaint I have about
this movie, it's the use of Darth
Maul. 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 also didn't care for the Trade FederaHnn
Thp vnirp pVi p rn rtpri7ft f 1 nns nf
the Viceroy's species reminded me of
a bad kung-fu movie. They didn't seem
convincing as alien creatures.
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.
