A: Went in looking for steak! I wanted petite sirloin however there was only one two pack left and they were not good cuts. There was a man restocking the meats that approached me asking if I needed any assistance. I asked if he had any more two packs of petite sirloin and pointed at the only one left stating it didn't look good. He agreed and immediately took it off the shelf and grabbed a family size of petite sirloin and said go ahead and pick the two you want and I will separate it for you! Super great customer service for a supermarket. Usually if something is missing there is no more! It was great to see him go out of his way to open a family size package and re package it just to get the two cuts I wanted :-)

A: This is a good little neighborhood bar and pub that's excellent for groups and just general hanging out. The bar is HUGE and there's always a myriad of people crowded around it. The fish and chips are god, as are the steak dinners. Everything is well priced and the staff is quick and attentive. It's not the chicest place in the world, but I won't complain if I'm asked to hang out there.

A: Ever since my office moved up to the University area, this is my "go to" Y during the week. Even though I missed the convenience of the Y's downtown - Childress & Dowd, this one is a good replacement and it saves me from driving downtown for a workout. Recently I have picked up swimming in the mornings before work... well it's better described as "systematic drowning". The pool lifeguard is super friendly. She was even giving me tips on my form. If I think about it more I think she was "concerned" about me so... hence the tips. I've got a ways to go before I am Michael Phelps, but I am glad the Univ City Y is helping me on my way to the Olympics (j/k). This Y is as large as the other branches in the area and has lots of family programs - after school care, etc that you can take advantage of while getting your burn on. Every thing is kept clean and maintained - the staff is there for you when you need them. The parking lot leaves a little to be wanted, but it is functional (if people follow the one way signs). At least the Y is off of a side street (not directly on WT Harris), but you have to time it right less you get caught in the traffic nightmare that happens there every rush hour twice a day.

A:
Island Style isn't a destination-type of restaurant like Lotus of Siam or Michael Mina. It's a neighborhood restaurant but it does a pretty good job with Korean food. I ordered the combination plate, which came with ghalbi, meat jun and grilled chicken. The ghalbi was excellent and that's what earns it a four-star rating from me. Really good grilled flavor. The meat jun is like an omelet and it was nice too. The grilled chicken was petty much standard grilled chicken. Island Style is a fusion Korean and Hawaiian restaurant and I guess that showed in my meal with the inclusion of macaroni salad with the meat and steamed rice. It was nice, too. There were only two banchan dishes, white radish kim chee and cabbage kim chee. But the dishes were quite large for banchan. The white radish kim chee was a stand out. It was a pretty good version. The kim chee at Island Style is not especially spicy but still good. If I were to go back, I'd skip the combo and just order a plate of ghalbi. But it looks like there's other good things on the menu, too.
