The Daily Planet / 2*

121 I W WISHON AVE, FRESNO; 559/266-4259

Mahogany paneling, velvet drapes, Art Deco wall sconces, and a period mural on the ceiling take diners back to an era long past in this alluring eatery situated next to the historic Tower Theater. The menu, atmos- phere, and bar also reflect the decadence of an earlier time, before we discovered cholesterol and the adverse effects of smoking and drinking. Here, as the faint strains of a piano player echo over the crowd, patrons swill cocktails like the Daily Planet's signature Stockholm 75 (citrus vodka, lemon juice, and champagne), sip Glen-morangie's single malt, smoke cigars, and sup on entrees with fat-gram counts in the triple digits. Start with oyster shooters with a zesty chipotle cream sauce, a bowl of fresh corn bisque with basil, or shrimp spiedini, tender skewered shrimp and prosciutto glazed with a tangy balsamic vinaigrette. For the main course, the hearty rack of lamb with a light basil-honey marinade and the homey pot roast with creamy garlic mashed potatoes take comfort food to new levels. If you can't decide what to order, go with the prix-fixe menu, which changes every three weeks to make the most of seasonal ingredients. Be sure, however, to save room for the decadent chocolate praline taco stuffed with white chocolate mousse and fresh fruit, or the chocolate apricot torte served with a rich brandy whipped cream. $$$;

Echo Restaurant / 2.5*

609 E OLIVE AVE, FRESNO; 559/442-3246

Opened in 1995, this charming French-California eatery changes its menu daily to make the most of chef Tim Woods's daily shopping trips to local farms and ranches in the neighboring San Joaquin Valley. Once he has selected the freshest seasonal ingredients possible, Woods returns to the kitchen to create such specialties as grilled Madera County quail marinated in Dijon mustard and herbs, creamy summer squash and garlic soup, savory roasted pork loin with a fennel-seed-and-black pepper crust, and succulent grilled filet of Harris Ranch beef with apple- wood-smoked bacon and rosemary. Enjoy a glass of wine from the restaurant's impressive wine list, lauded with an award of excellence from Wine Spectator, sink into the comfy Frank Lloyd Wright-designed chairs at your white linen-covered table, and watch the action in the open kitchen—it's all a part of the dining experience here. Chocolate lovers shouldn't skip a slice of dense, moist bittersweet chocolate cake, but McGuinness straw-berries with a rich white chocolate cream and champagne also score points on the decadence scale. $$$; AE, DIS, MC, V; checks OK; lunch Mon-Fri, dinner every day; beer and wine; reser- vations recommended; www.echomenu.com; corner of Echo St.
