• American • Madison
Booked 8 times today
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.

    The food is so tasty and the staff so friendly, the restaurant has the warm of a home kitchen it permeates into everything. We moved away and never miss an opportunity to go back.

    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!
