Palette provides a colorful dining experience with an American inspired menu featuring in-house cut steaks and 21-day aged 100% black Angus beef.As we inherited a space as historical as the former Mautz Paint Company warehouse, we had to do it justice. We kept our building’s architectural features intact while updating the space with contemporary design elements and nostalgic touches. We wanted to keep the space faithful to its roots; filled with hues of colors and textures reminiscing of times when the East Washington corridor was a booming industrial area in the city.Our menu features steak cuts made in-house, chef’s masterpieces, artisan salads and soups, along with a unique beer and hand-crafted cocktail selection.

Stone Porch is named after it's huge stone wrap around porch but we don't let that vibe end there. Comfort food, refreshing cocktails to warm up the insides and a great team looking to make your visit memorable. Our head chef, Jacob Goldsberry, believes that from scratch is always best and that brings an authenticity to each dish that will remind you of home.

    My family and I enjoyed it very much, staff was very attentive and their promise to not rush you during your experience was very present and very comforting. We all enjoyed our dinner, we started with the arancini, mussles and our kids had spaghetti and meatballs and a margherita pizza which they loved! The mussles have to be Top 5 mussles in Madison, they were the star of the show, extensive and great cocktail list for everyone’s taste and great wine list. Overall great food, service and experience, will definitely come back but probably in a date night instead of brining the whole family. At the end Dino the owner was very nice and came over and offered some delicious cookies for my children, great touch!

    Love the cozy fireplace. Out of our party of 6, two people reported their meat was a little dry. The wings were excellent. Great service from Dominique and supporting staff. Overall very good experience and we’ll be back.

    The Palette Bar and Grill was an overall wonderful experience with fast and friendly service, fun drinks, and delicious food. I went early evening on a Saturday and it was nice and quiet with several seats available at the bar and many open tables in the dining room. It was a very nice date night experience and I would definitely recommend.

    My first visit here. The menu has many choices besides the pizza. We both had pasta dishes and they were both excellent. It was my birthday and they had a very nice, complimentary, birthday dessert. Prices were very moderate. I will definitely be back.
