Ashley Christensen, executive chef of Raleigh's Enoteca Vin opened her new restaurant, Poole's Downtown Diner last night. The food is very rich, very tasty country French, and I have high hopes for the place. As I wrote elsewhere, I have high hopes for this place and think it will be extremely successful. Raleigh has been missing a place like this, as all the "hip," chef-owned restaurants to open recently have been in Durham and Chapel Hill. Thank god that's changing!

Good food--we went Saturday night--I enjoyed everything. Two things--the service, I won't go there (read Varmint's blog) too badly, but it was atrocious and smugly unapologetic.

But, I think it time that stuff will get worked out. All of the food and drinks were very good, though I dislike the chalkboard menu--either have it visible from the whole place, or print menus.
