Wonderful experience here all around. They were able to seat us at the bar on a very busy night right away while comparable restaurants gave us an hour wait. The bartenders were incredibly personable and helpful with suggesting drinks. Our food was fantastic. Plus I witnessed one of the bartenders step in for the host to make sure a customer wasn’t left waiting. Truly dedicated and caring staff.

We had a great experience at Palette! Everything we ordered was delicious and the service was excellent. Definitely will return! We ordered the oyster appetizer, Kobe hanger steak, and the paella among other things and all were executed perfectly!

We had a late lunch on the upper deck as the sky got dark with rain. Beautiful! Great service – attentive staff and the owner stopped by. The dates are awesome – but rich. We had a cold cider to balance the goat cheese. Calabria pizza on the mark.

The food, service, and atmosphere were all great! While it took my party a while to decide what we wanted to order, we never felt rushed or ignored by the staff. I had the seafood paella and strongly recommend adding the scallops- definitely worth it. Plus the view of The Lake just added to the overall experience. Next time I’ll try and save room for dessert.

Fantastic dinner! We had a wonderful experience – delicious food, beautiful views of the lake, and responsive service. The short rib and polenta melted in your mouth, and the baked chocolate pudding was heavenly. Couldn’t more highly recommend this incredible restaurant!

Great location with lake and marina views! The wind was really high when we were there, and there were several people surfing Lake Michigan!

Went here for a wedding rehearsal dinner. Food was alright, everything took forever. Kids meals came out last which was not good. Pizza was so salty it was inedible… drinks were good and they made them strong. The view is gorgeous. The service was ok at best. Not super friendly, but it was a large group. I will be taking my wife back just the two of us and updating the review based on that meal, as I understand a rehearsal dinner may be out of the ordinary.

Had lunch today with my wife at Palette Bistro. Wonderful experience from start to finish! Highlights included the best Bloody Mary’s ever, and an Apple Cider Braised Pork sandwich that was amazing! Our server Jack, was what every young fine dining server should be, and more. He made our visit a special memory!
