" Palette Bistro is the perfect spot for a celebration! We dined here for our anniversary and the restaurant went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful evening. Our server treated us like family and we were pleasantly surprised by complimentary desserts. The food was marvelous, with flavors that left us speechless. The decor perfectly matched the charming atmosphere that made it an unforgettable experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Palette Bistro has a delightful menu with a good mix of American and Mediterranean dishes; however, my experience was tarnished by the service. I felt neglected during my meal and the food took longer than expected to arrive. The view of the water is lovely but that couldn’t make up for the slow service. I will give it another try because several dishes looked enticing, but I hope the service is more prompt next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been looking forward to my brunch at Palette Bistro all week. It did not disappoint! I ordered the Eggs Benedict, and they were perfect. The hollandaise sauce was rich, and the egg cooked just right. The sweet potato hash as a side was a delightful surprise, a perfect match. My only concern was that the service was a bit slow, but the food was worth the wait. The view is breathtaking, making it a lovely spot for a weekend brunch. Great job, Palette Bistro! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week we celebrated my mother’s birthday at Palette Bistro, and it was wonderful! We made a reservation, and they even accommodated our requests for a special dessert. Our waiter was attentive and really made us feel special. The crab cakes were hands down the best! My mom tried the forest floor soup and couldn't stop raving about it. With the beautiful view and delicious food, we’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Treated my girlfriend to dinner at Palette Bistro based on reviews I read. The ambiance is great for a romantic dinner! We enjoyed the forest floor soup which was rich and creamy followed by a seafood dish that was prepared beautifully. The service was polished and prompt. The dessert to finish paired perfectly with my gin cocktail, a totally unique experience. This place is what date night is all about! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Palette Bistro based on all the reviews, but my experience fell short. The service was slow and disorganized, which overshadowed the decent food. I ordered the paella, which was good but not as great as others have described. I hope to give it another chance someday, as the atmosphere and views are lovely. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Palette Bistro, and overall it was a lovely dining experience. The staff was accommodating and friendly. We had the baked feta and the forest floor soup, both of which were excellent. However, the entree portions were somewhat small for my taste. I loved the outdoor seating and would recommend it!
