If you can stand uninformed and often slow (but sweet) service, Vin Rouge on Durham's 9th St. is a great middle of the road place. The space itself is very atmospheric, stylish but relaxed, with a great patio. The food has been consistently good and at a good price. My only complaint is the service. We had one waiter tell us that the charcuterie plate "is all meat," and another tell us that the cheese plate had "French cheeses and stuff." Well, one other complaint--the menu has hardly changed since opening, and it leans toward heavy, wintery foods. Somehow, the lamb doesn't sound so delicious on an August night. But they always have a catch of the day, for the lighter side of things.
