| - I've been dying to get to Petit Philippe since it opened, and now I know why. The fella and I stopped in on a Saturday evening to have a drink and check it out.
We were greeted immediately when we walked in, and I loved the decor - a few high-top tables, a "dining room" table for a big group and cushy chairs in the back with bottles of wine lining the walls and a glass-enclosed cellar in the front room. Everything was silver, glass, sleek and yet, still comfortable. Being new, we weren't sure if we were supposed to sit down to be waited on or go up to the counter, but I got the feeling that whatever we did would've been the right thing.
The owner, Mark, came over and introduced himself and thanked us for stopping in. I told him we were newbies just stopping in for a glass of wine, and he asked what we liked. This OCD girl usually likes a good menu to choose from, but I trusted his judgment. The wine was perfect and reasonably priced ($10/glass), and I really appreciated that he took our tastes into consideration and knew exactly what to pick. We also tried a few - okay, 6 - of the chocolates, which were divine. (There was a list with descriptions for those, so I didn't have to be TOO fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants on those.)
We signed up for the wine tasting email, and I'm really looking forward to see what PP has to offer. I'll definitely be back soon, and I wish we could've stayed longer when we went.
