Eats

The wife and I tried out the new Planet of the Grapes restaurant tonight.
If you haven't already seen it, the restaurant is behind the Planet of the Grapes shop on King Street and is owned by the same folks.
I had the lamb and Alison went for the Chilean sea bass.
Both of us were very happy with the meals, which included a good assortment of side dishes (try the asparagus.) The food came out in a reasonable amount of time and was ready to go when it hit the table.
The restaurant itself is a charming place, not overly elaborate, but very well set up.
Dare I use the word classy?
There's also a nice courtyard with several tables and folks eating there seemed to enjoy the mild evening and their food.
As you might expect the Planet of the Grapes connection means a superior wine and beer list to choose from.
I picked the Val Dieu (a tasty Belgian beer) and the wife slurped down a couple of glasses of "Petit Bourgeois," which means nothing to me because I don't drink wine. She gave it a solid thumbs up.
It was a nice evening. No irritating distractions like TV, "mood music" or children makes a difference.
That word classy comes to mind again.
With a decent tip our bill hit three figures, though a wide-ranging menu would have allowed us to eat well for less.
It looks like Dalton may have added another "in place" for folks looking for a charming night out.
Definitely recommended.
