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.  One caveat: The saucing here can be heavy-handed; you may want to ask for it on the side.
