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.

    Service was great. One of the few places that we’ve booked on OpenTable that acknowledged why we were dining there. We were celebrating our anniversary before a badger game. Burgers were very good. Cheese curds could’ve been better. We appreciated the free dessert to celebrate our anniversary.

    We celebrated our wedding anniversary with them and it was perfect! Jack, the owner, was very hospitable and Nicole, our server, exceeded our expectations! The Chef was on point with everything and our food could not have been better – shrimp appetizer, bone-in tenderloin, and scallops! We will be visiting your location again very soon. Thank you for the perfect evening!

    Again as with our first experience at Easter, the brunch layout is so very easy to maneuver and deal with, even with a Mother using a walker. Even though it is a very large space we've never felt congested or like you are waiting in lines forever to get a chance to serve ourselves and our party. Food selections and quality are top notch and there always seems to be adequate staff to keep buffet filled and to be right on top of clearing tables as needed. The Concourse will continue to be our go-to venue for holiday celebrations. We totally enjoy our experiences there!
