   Our server was delightful (Maeve) and dinners were very good--one issue was with the appetizer which came with the meal instead of before the meal as requested. Not a problem and we definitely will be back!

   Hi Cindy, thank you for the feedback. Maeve is a welcome addition to the team this Spring and we'll be sure to share the love. Sorry to hear about the timing though, we'll work to correct that. Thanks again! -Bobby

   Pre-concert dinner and all entrees were excellent, as were cocktails. Well-paced service and met our needs. Parking validated by restaurant. Always a steady go-to just beyond downtown!

   Delicious food, great decor was quite empty but made for nice, quiet evening.

   Palette Bar and Grill is a favorite place to dine. We appreciate an early dinner at 4 pm. Excellent service (the Server, Maeve), perfectly prepared and delicious food. We recommend the Soft Pretzels, Fish Fry (available on Fridays), Teriyaki Salmon, and Ice Cream Cake (impressively delicious). If you're interested in cocktails, we recommend the Clean Slate, the Beet Bauhaus, and Farley Fly-By. We highly recommend The Palette Bar and Grill. They do it well. Kudos to General Manager Bobby Gunther and Chef Jose Hernandez.

   Impressive service and delicious food. We recommend the Soft Pretzels, the Fish Fry, and the half Rack Ribs. If you are interested in cocktails, my husband "loves" the Beet Bauhaus, and I enjoy the Clean Slate. The Cassa Silva Carmenere is an excellent red wine choice.

   Great experience. Brought almost an entire diving team and parents out for dinner and our reservation was constantly increasing and the staff were so friendly and accomodating. Our server even paired parents up with their kid on separate checks. Great service and we all had a blast. Thank you!

   Food is great plus cocktails and dessert. Everyone was friendly and never seemed to be too rushed- explained different things to us. A great experience!

   Overall good, a little pricey considering the location is inside a hotel and going through all the hotel people as well. Service and waiters great! The hostesses could improve (not the most friendly).

    Nicely creative takes on some current favorites, always well-prepared and served up by friendly, attentive staff. Great for locals, as well as hotel guests!
