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.

    Dined on Nov 22, 2024
    We were exploring this venue for a small upcoming wedding dinner, and noticed how loyal the clientele seems to be from the other reviews. The food was outstanding, and the service perfect. We tried all the things on the menu that we thought might be our selections for our private event, and were not disappointed: 8oz filet mignon, seafood trio, feta stuffed chicken and the pasta with lemon cream sauce. I normally don’t order pasta at a fine dining place, but was checking it out for future vegetarian guests. I had shrimp on top, but it could well have been ordered with chicken or without meat altogether. (In fact we liked it better than the feta-stuffed chicken as a potential chicken dish. It was absolutely scrumptious, and definitely came out of a master chef’s kitchen. There was enough of each dish that we each took home leftovers, and I couldn’t wait to eat mine the next day. Still dreaming about whether I could possibly replicate this pasta recipe at home— I’m going to try!!! It was so good! But that’s not to undercut the other dishes whatsoever, which were our favorites, even better compared with food at some other local award-winning restaurants. The farmhouse is charming and looks just like the pictures. There is a disability ramp to the middle floor dining area and enclosed porch. But it you want the third floor, you’ll have to handle some stairs.
