Fine Palate

I recently had my birthday dinner at Fine Palate. Upon walking in the staff greeted us immediately and let us know our table was ready for our party of 7. We opted to do the chefs tasting menu and wow were we thrilled we did! The food and service were so incredible my friends and I haven't stopped raving about it since!! They were very accommodating of our one vegetarian guest and those who had food allergies. I loved it so much my BF and I will be heading back this weekend just the two of us for dinner and cocktails. I highly recommend visiting this gem!! Oh and the drinks are yummmm!

Nice wine selection and some tasty tapas, but I would never come here for dinner again unless they change the menu. You could have a meal of small plates, but only if $24 tapas are your idea of a hot date. Many dishes, such as the "Japanese Paella" and steak, were more sizzle (or fat) than steak and tasted like visually attractive Pinterest recipes that no one had ever bothered to taste. For $65 a person or more, on the whole, the food was passable at best and the duck was simply inedible and half-raw. While this was taken back without comment, we were later told that we were tasting it wrong. We also went without water at one point and when we saw the staff glued to Facebook on their phones on the way out, we knew why. At least the hostess was nice. Oysters: good. Wine list: good. Dinner: exorbitant disappointment.

Take this review with a grain of salt. We came here for Sips (city wide happy hour) and had some very uninspired cocktails. I understand it's a happy hour and I cannot expect full quality but these drinks did not set a good expectation for the restaurant. The pizza was reasonably tasty and well decorated but slightly soggy. Alternatively, the ambiance was really nice. It is a very sleekly and tastefully decorated place with friendly and helpful staff.
