Chef's PaletteMother's day BrunchI had only been to this restaurant one other time. I was impressed, and saw on open table they had a mother's day brunch. I figured my mom would like it. She loved it and can't stop talking about it.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMbetter than expectedThe food was very good. First time going to this restsurant and it was better than expected.

She was impressed with the quality and selections. We enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and attentive service. She told her husband (who had returned home to Australia a few days before) about the wonderful experience and now he is expecting to enjoy the same experience when they return to Cary! How lucky we are to have an elegant place to dine within 10 minutes of our home.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMAWESOME!Great restaurant!

Everything was prepared perfectly, and was absolutely delicious. Our server was friendly, seemed to care about our satisfaction and was very accomodating.
Overall great experience...5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMvery niceWe have now been to this restaurant twice for special birthday celebrations. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with local artists' work. The waitstaff is knowledgeable, friendly and quietly attentive. The food has been great both times, and although the rice pilaf was a little undercooked for my taste, the risotto was to die for. All the dishes are creative and beautifully presented. Definitely recommend the Earth and Sky and the nuts and berries salad.
All in a a great place, and we are so glad we found it.4/29/2013 12:00:00 AMA Neighborhood Gem!Chef's Palette is right in our backyard and for some reason we just don't go often enough. Our spur of the moment visit on Saturday evening was a delight from start to finish! Service was excellent and attentive. Food and presentation was simply outstanding. I enjoyed the special for the evening which was tuna, filet and shrimp on a bed of parmesan risotto. For dessert, my partner and I shared the banannas foster which did not disappoint. Landon our server was tuned in to our needs and attentive and of course, Cathy, always makes it a point to stop by and greet her guests. Again, not sure why we don't go more often, but this visit reminded us that we should!4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMThis is the first restaurantThis is the first restaurant for Kathy the owner .
Totally admire her success for this new adventure.

All contributed to a great experience.4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMStephanie, was great, sheStephanie, was great, she said the specials for that night without a hitch, like the swordfish dinner was an everyday item. My wife couldn't choose a wine for her dinner so Stephanie let her sample 2 before she chose one. The scallops wrapped in bacon with the lemon herb orzo was great, so good I remember what I ate! My wife's chicken dish was excellent too, we shared with each other! We didn't have dessert because it was our wedding anniversary, which no one at the restaurant knew, and we had truffles at home made by a couple in Fuquay that I purchased earlier in the day. It was a great dining experience and we thank you.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMGO HERE NOWThis restaurant has it all, beautiful local artwork, on friday and saturday nights live entertainment in the bar area, and absolutely fresh and amazing food. My significant other and I were looking for a new place that is not a chain and is worth going out and we absolutely found it. A great drink menu, knowledgable staff although we came in 15 minutes before the kitchen closed they allowed us to order anything and everything we wanted without any frustration. I work in the industry myself and it is so nice to be greeted and taken care of even being so late to dinner! We will absolutely be back! THIS PLACE IS GREAT!3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMWe tried Chef''s Palette basedWe tried Chef''s Palette based on friends recommendations. Three of us had dinner on a Saturday night. We all enjoyed the Ahi tuna appetizer. My daughter and I enjoyed our entrees of salmon and filet. My husband, however, was disappointed in his bone-in ribeye. The quality of the meat, particularly for the price, was not good. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner and service was good. We probably will try again.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Meal Had By AllThe food was fantastic and the service was excellent. The server we had was very friendly and accommodating. Also had the chance to meet the owner and she was as delightful as the server which happend to be her daughter.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstanding service and excellentOutstanding service and excellent food. Simple elegance in decor. Portion size on lamb shank on the small size, but, otherwise, a very good dish. Chicken Francese beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. I liked that the menu listed actual anchovies as an optional addition to the Caesar salad, which was very fresh. This was our first visit, and we made an early reservation (6:00), and got right in, but the entire dining room and bar room were packed by 7:30 on Saturday night, so the word is apparently out on this Cary gem. Imaginative specialty cocktails--we loved the Vargas Martinis--no vermouth, but olive juice and blue-cheese stuffed olives with Tabasco. Apple tart dessert with ice cream was tasty version of apple dumpling.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMPleasant Christmas Eve dinnerMy husband and I dined here on Christmas Eve. Overall the food was very good. Avoid the eggplant brushetta, it was dry and salty. The dinner salads were excellent and served on creative dishes. The hen dish was outstanding. The lamb shank had good flavor, but the texture was chewy. And the coffee was good and HOT! P.S.: we love the illuminated menu -- it was nice to not have to pull my Iphone flashlight out just to read the meu selections.12/24/2012 12:00:00 AM
