Problem: My review only is for the Northside Bar that is ironically in the SOUTHEWEST corner of the store. Gotta love a grocery store with 35 taps and $10 pizzas (on Thursdays)! Fantastic beer selection with an emphasis on locals. I'd like to see more beer culture and special events (like at the Chandler WF!) Happy hour is a bit stingy but the Thursday growler fill special is a great deal. And no, it's not as odd as it sounds to relax and enjoy a pint in a grocery store.

Problem: Go elsewhere. I was needing some General Tso's and other Americanized Chinese fare for lunch. Having already tried one place downtown and coming up short I figured I'd give Golden Palace a try. Fail. Golden Palace's buffet is on a table that measures 15' x 3' and doesn't offer much variety. This would make me think the limited choices make for better food. Wrong. The food housed on this small table is not fresh, is not tasty, and is not appealing. I was almost tempted to just ask for my money back. Instead I rolled the dice and tried the General Tso's, the fried rice, and the chicken and peppers. Hope you like gristle, salt, and high fructose corn syrup because it's all you're going to taste. Bleck. Golden Palace is also expensive. *I began with a 2 star, but relegated it to 1*

Problem: A wonderfully modern place for breakfast or an early lunch. My buddies ordered breakfast, but I ordered the Silk Road burger (black angus beef with fries). Oh so good with your choice of condiments (tomatoes, pickles, onions, lettuce, fried egg, beets, swiss cheese, jack cheese, cheddar, and bacon). The burger was tasty and the shoestring fries were a definite treat. Everything was certainly fresh and beautifully presented. The service was prompt and the waiter came back repeatedly to ensure everything was okay. If you have to *ahem* go while you're there, the co-ed restroom is worth checking out too.

Problem: Last week my girlfriend and I ordered takeout from Intermezzo. My GF has allergies so I checked the order when I picked it up to see if it was correct. In the dim light it was hard to tell so I pointed out to the bartender who got it for me that the order looked incorrect. He was very belligerent, snapped that the order was correct, and walked away. Unfortunately when we got back home we discovered it wasn't correct... the sides were right but the meals were someone else's dinner. We spent $30+ for a meal my GF couldn't eat. To the owner's credit when I called and pointed out the mistake she replied quickly and corrected the issue. Overall the food is great and other than the experience with the bartender the staff was very polite.
