Palatte - Phoenix

I took note of their use of the term "Sparkling Champagne" on the menu, especially since they claim to have a "French flair." I remember a Frenchman reacting quite strongly when someone referred to a New World sparkling wine as "champagne," but that was in America, and he seemed quite the wine enthusiast. But I digress. The food here is excellent and reasonably priced, especially considering the overall ambiance of the place. In short, I plan to keep my promise and dine here again.

I do have some reservations about their use of the term "sparkling champagne" on the menu, especially since they tout a “French flair.” I mean, I've witnessed a Frenchman get quite upset when someone referred to a New World sparkling wine as "champagne," but that was in America, and he might have just been an enthusiastic wine lover. But I digress. The food here is excellent, and the prices are reasonable given the unique atmosphere of the place. One day, I'll make good on my intention to have dinner here.
