The Boathouse is a casual waterfront dining spot along the shores of Lake Mendota that serves up hot fare and cold craft beers every day from 11am-10pm. The long-standing tradition of waterfront dining in Wisconsin is not lost here, in fact, it is very much at the forefront of this restaurant. Our chef takes casual classics like burgers and cheese curds and puts his modern spin on them to make lakeside life even better, all while being right in the heart of downtown Madison.

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.

It's rare to dine these days where one can easily hear the conversation at the table, even though the dining tables were full. Seafood Risotto, the Giardinia Chicken and the Walleye were delicious, hot, well presented. We'll be back.

Parking was close by and easy. Coats were hung over extra chairs. Unfortunately, we were seated at a table where there was constant traffic of other customers and servers. Good selection of menu items. The server refilled our water glasses. Everyone in our party of six seemed to enjoy their food choices. Three of us ordered decaf coffee after the meal. It was not piping hot, and we were not offered more coffee. We were not rushed. Each of the three couples received a check.
