" After hearing so much about Palette Bistro, I finally decided to try it for myself. I must say, the ambiance was delightful. The decor reflects a charming mix of rustic and contemporary that really sets a relaxing mood. We started with the Forest Floor soup, which was exquisite and perfectly seasoned. For our main course, I ordered the seafood paella, and it was packed with flavors, making it one of the best I've tried! Service was friendly, and we felt attended to without being intrusive. A truly great dining experience overall! I'll definitely be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Palette Bistro was a mixed bag. The views from our table were lovely, which made the long wait for food slightly more bearable. The staff was friendly but seemed overwhelmed. I ordered the lamb meatballs, and while they were flavorful, they came in small portions for the price. The ambiance was cozy, but I could hear all the nearby conversations, which felt intrusive. Overall, I think there is potential for a better experience, but I might choose to dine elsewhere next time if the service doesn't improve. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough positive things about my visit to Palette Bistro. The service was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere lively yet relaxing, and the food was simply delicious. I had the paella, which was a generous portion and packed with flavor! My friend had fish tacos, a dish I hope to try on my next visit. We ended the meal with a rich chocolate dessert that was heavenly. I would recommend this place to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was fortunate to find Palette Bistro one night and decided to give it a shot. Upon entering, the vibe was lively and inviting. I ordered the crab cakes and they blew my mind! Delicious! The service was prompt, and my table had a gorgeous view. I hope to try their brunch menu next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Palette Bistro on a whim and I’m glad I did! I ordered the crab cakes, which were divine. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with stunning decor.

" 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!
