Out of town visitors came (party of 5 and 1 toddler). We got the all you can eat thing and it was truly fabulous. A little expensive but feels like a solid value as we were able to get so many different dishes from the menu—even the toddler was able to find stuff they liked. Service was spectacular. Great time.

It was crowded and we had to wait a long time to get our food. The all you can eat is pricey. And many restrictions in place. We should be able to take oor leftovers. It’s a waste of good food.

Let me start by saying the food and my server were 4 stars, but my overall experience left much to be desired. I could not have been at my table for more than 3 minutes when another server (not my own) literally drops plates and food on me and my brand new coat. She barely said sorry and ran off. I was given a few dry napkins and had had to ask for more and also some wet wipes as there was food running down my arm. Mind you this was someone else's already picked over food and nasty plates. After cleaning myself off the "manager" comes over and offers a weak apology. There was so much space for her to walk I would have thought she did it on purpose (I doubt that's the case, but there was no reason for her to drop food on me) then I had to explain that my coat and clothes were a casualty before he offered to pay for dry cleaning and one free cocktail. His tone was sarcastic and not helpful when I had just been embarrassed and literally dumped on. I enjoy Palette 22 and would go back but I was not happy with how the overall situation was handled.

The food was overly fancy. Instead of them keep simple dishes, simple, they tried to make everything fancy which only worked for some of the dishes. Also the manager came to our table and said that we had exceed our 2 hour table limit. We ordered bottomless food and paid some good money for our food. There was no warning of a 2 hour limit and just expected us to get up and leave when he said something. Wish there was some warning instead of just being so abrupt.

I had a reservation but still had to wait awhile to be seated. Seemed like everyone coming in with reservations had to wait, so we all took up the bar area. Some of the food items were cold like the shrimp and grits, French toast ( no one like grits that are hard). I know it gets busy in here, but keep the food items hot and fresh
