 Revolution is the place to go before or after an event at the Durham Performing Arts Center or a downtown gallery opening for a “small plate” or two. A leisurely dinner savoring chef Jim Anile’s seasonal menu pays homage to European and Asian cuisines, as well as the American West Coast. Anile’s unfussy dishes feature such possibilities as beer-braised mussels with tomato and basil, and raw ahi with wasabi caviar. House-made pappardelle with osso buco sauce or fresh truffles in season reveal his facility with Italian dishes, some of which are very home-style, such as “Mom’s Beef and Veal Meat Balls,” braised in tomato along with Yukon and sweet potatoes. For dessert, a simple sorbet made from local fruit is the perfect ending to a rich dinner, although pastry chef John Tate tempts with a chocolate bacon pâté. The wine list offers some unusual bubbles and nice dessert wines, many well priced. For the big occasions, look to the Italian and French selections on the extensive and pricier “chef’s reserve” list.
