The recent article in the NY Times has blazed its way through the local scene and cybersphere. Big congratulations to Matthew Beason, also known as Matty for his feature in the NY Times!

Matthew Beason
Matthew Beason is a Durham native who has over a decade of experience working in Triangle restaurants. He is the former co-owner of Pop’s and Rue Cler, and former general manager of Nana’s.

Six Plates
The restaurant is informally swank, elegant, yet comfortable. Leather sofas and majestic chairs are spread throughout. You can have your meal on the patio, or in one of the many interesting seating areas, where two people can share an intimate meal, and open areas that provide a great conversation zone for larger groups of people.

Menu
Six Plates offers six small plates of food (imagine an entrée cut in half) and six wines by the glass matched to those plates.  On the clipboard there are over 150 wines by the bottle including half bottles, magnums, etc.  On the back page you’ll find around 30 beers by the bottle.  If you don’t see what you are looking for by the glass make sure you check out the cork board behind the bar.

Check the Menu Update page for fantastic dishes! As the website suggests, you may come in on Tuesday and if you go back on Thursday, your likely to find something new on the menu.

Entertainment
There is live music on Thursdays. Fridays Mystic Mayhem plays silky vocals and great acoustic from 9-11. First Saturdays hosts an 80s Dance Party with DJ Dae and friends and Second Saturdays is Mingle, a House Music night with Dae the DJ and Sound Cartel's Marshall Jones and DJ Nugz!
