Northgate coffee, bagels and wine
The useful way to read it is coffee-to-wine rather than restaurant. It can do a light lunch, a bagel, a drink while town calms down, or a first glass before a show. It is not where to send someone who wants a big settled dinner menu.
Worth knowing
plana terra is strongest as a useful, likeable Northgate stop for coffee, bagels, wine and drinks. Do not oversell it as a destination restaurant and it lands much better.
