The Blue Plate - Chatham, New York
Tough day? Everything about The Blue Plate—its name, the intriguing Ragtime-era structure it inhabits (rumored to have been a brothel once), the Marc Rosenthal 3-D cartoon mural that greets you as you step through the door—contrives to make you smile. Though the design is knowing, with lighting as soothing as a warm bath, the net effect is suitably relaxed and unpretentious. As is the food: “American bistro with international implications.” Too whipped to tackle the otherwise appealing grilled trout with key-lime butter ($21)? Go for the comforting meatloaf-and-mashed ($12) instead. Whoever mans the grill here should give lessons: everything is always just as requested. One caveat: The saucing sometimes can be heavy-handed; you may want to ask for it on the side.
