   Trendy and fun but casual. Espesatas were really good and so were the cranberry drinks. Service was excellent - busy enough but got a table within 15 min.

   Recently we tried a different highly rated restaurant in Madison. All we could think of after dining there was, why didn’t we go back to Palette. We did last night and as expected they delivered an outstanding meal and service. The mushroom soup and the pork belly tacos were incredible! Thanks again to everyone at Palette!!

   Good drinks, decent pretzel bite appetizers. Overall good food. Fairly noisy, a bit drafty even in the restaurant, so some draft mitigation would help. Service was very good overall considering that it got busy. Nice place for drinks and apps for sure.

   Got a reservation for Valentine’s Day here about 3 weeks ahead of time, when we arrived about 10 minutes before our reservation they didn’t even sit us in the dining room but instead at the farthest table in the bar area that was half in the lobby of the hotel. When asking if another table was available the staff said yes but was being saved for someone with a later reservation. When I said we were going to leave and try somewhere else they just said ok and turned back to their computer without any apology or explanation for sitting us in the lobby of the hotel. I have heard the food isn’t bad from others but for the cost and not being allowed to sit in the actual dining area it was not even close to worth the cost of the food and drinks. Really put a damper on our Valentine’s Day plans and will not be trusting them with a reservation ever again.

    We got the espanitas to share. The veggies were amazing & the meat was okay. The steak had unchewable parts & lots of fat. The chicken had a great flavor & was cooked well but being thighs, it had questionable parts. The Brussels sprouts had an awesome flavor - both salty & sweet. The corn was the best I’ve ever had. The drinks are really fun, loved the seasonal specials & the color codes.

    Food was good, but service was very slow and not professional. We watched as server spilled a beer on customer at adjacent table and one of the orders brought to our table was for the completely wrong item. New Year's Eve may have been their first night when they were expecting a full house, but more training and practice, practice, practice is needed for the servers.

    Had a great New Years Eve dinner with family. Food was great. Mood was festive and Palette was comfortably busy. Palette offers tasty and creative seasonal cocktails! The tribute to the previous Mautz business is beautifully done throughout. Definitely a place to visit.

    Service was very slow and the restaurant was almost empty. We waited for every aspect, including ordering. There were items in the food not listed on the menu and kind of ruined two of my items. They brought me another side, but people have allergies, etc., don’t put surprise items in the dishes! Some of the food was cold when it arrived, and when you can see it in the window sitting, it’s hard to ignore. Our waiter was lovely, but I think they need to add an expediter to the food line to ensure food comes out hot. Everyone can see the items in the window from the dining room.

    Great atmosphere & decor. The staff was polite, professional & made great menu recommendations since this was our first dining experience here. We ordered pork nachos to share as a starter and they were delicious! Soup & entree were tasty & just the right proportions. Tasty, hip vibe and will dine again.

    This was my first time going here and I heard a lot of great things about it, but I wanted to see for my self. I took my date here and I wanted it to be special, and fun. Which it was both, the waiter was super polite and was able to keep conversation with us. The food was cooked perfectly (I recommend their steak). Our food came out surprisingly fast, which really blew me away because there was sooooo many people. Definitely a great spot would recommend it 10/10, and I would definitely go back!

    We were very pleased with everything-the delay to get seated because the person at the host stand seemed unable to stop a customer from asking more and more pointless questions while three tables of people were waiting was the only low spot of the evening. But once seated-it was delightful. Cocktails were innovative and delicious, the menu has multiple temptations and the service was superb. We sampled the French fries with two dipping sauces, the short rib, fish tacos and a key lime parfait for dessert. Food came out promptly, piping hot and attractive. Even though the dining room was rapidly filling there appeared to be plenty of help to handle the business-no delays from the bar or kitchen. Palette proves that a hotel restaurant does not need to be boring and it exceeded our expectations and experience-we will definitely return. Highly recommended!
