Artist's Palate

Artist's Palate is a restaurant in Poughkeepsie, where you hear a lecture on the Met opera you'll see in a theater later on, and have a prix fixe meal--the menu didn't list prices, but it turned out to be $20 per person--and a glass of wine turned out to cost
$14 !!! Outrageous. And it turned out that there was a $10 cover charge! At the Bardovan nearby, where you see the opera, a glass of wine cost only $5.75 or something.

I wasn't sure whether the cover charge meant the tip or the remuneration for the speaker, so I left a tip--

Anyway, the food was good and the service was fine but the restaurant stinks.
