    A wonderful dining experience. Our lovely Italian waiter explained the menu and chosen food to a tee as did the other wait staff. Not sure if umami is the correct adjective for the cuttlefish, but it was superb. Lots of Japanese culinary influences in the dishes made every course something special.......you must try the lamb - and we were able to share. What a bonus. Thank you, we will be back.

    I had a tasting menu for my Birthday dinner with my friends here, the venue has chic decor and great atmosphere. The servers are very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly and welcoming. The food was fantastic! Each dishes are portioned just right amount for the 5courses, so I could finish till the dessert easily. the ingredients are sourced mostly locally and very fresh, I loved kangaroo carpaccio which I’ve never had before! All the dishes are very cleverly combined with Asian flavors and very creative. The most of all, the quality of food match the value of money. I had a really lovely dinner, and I highly recommend palette restaurant for everyone who’s looking for place for celebration or dinner date.

    Exceptionally good high tea. Traditional with a modern twist. The food is glorious, service is perfection and the venue itself is a really lovely space to be in. I cannot recommend the experience highly enough.

    We really enjoyed their duck dish. There dishes were quite different and showcased different styles and flavors. I am also very impressed with the wine options. One of the best in Gold Coast.

    Palette Restaurant was wonderful - the ambience was lovely, the setting gorgeous and the service was top notch. The food was beautifully prepared, amazingly presented, and was absolutely delicious. This is top cuisine! Being a 'foodie' with eating in great restaurants being my thing, I am looking forward to trying other delights on the menu at Palette when I return.

    The food we had was cooked beautifully. The service was good, and the ambience was really nice. A few more options for food would be good and some larger portions would also add value. Overall, we really enjoyed the evening.
