“If you are planning a special occasion or just want a night out at a wonderful restaurant, I have a bit of advice for you. Go to Chef Palette! This establishment has got it together. The atmosphere is just lovely. We planned our son and future daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner from afar, way far.....Michigan. As stressful as that could have been, Kathie did everything to ease our stress. She calmed this Momma's heart and executed everything to a "T". The appetizer table was not only displayed beautifully, it was YUMMY! The salad, main entrees and dessert did not disappoint. But most of all, the staff was most kind and extremely professional. We cannot thank Kathie and the staff at Chef Palette enough for the wonderful and memorable evening we shared together. GO TO CHEF's PALETTE!“

“Took a party of 8 early Saturday afternoon - plenty of seating available; however most seating is the high tables and chairs (not good for little ones). We asked for a booth instead. No huge crowds when we got there but the place filled quickly. Food came out faster than expected. Ordered kids nuggets and fries, BBQ, chicken pasta, and more burgers for older children. All good, except the coleslaw tasted stale but waiter replaced with the green beans?. Sat right in front of the big screens and enjoyed our meal. We enjoyed the gaming area too. Bartender accommodated our drink order, thank you. A 18-20% Gratuity is automatically added to parties 7 or more ?“

“The decorations and atmosphere are nice. Liked the colors and layout. Very clean inside.

The food presentation was great. Taste was good, but a little oily on the noodle dishes compared to other restaurants.

Where the restaurant really fell down was in the service. It was not good. We almost walked out. It was not crowded when we arrived. Maybe 40% full. No one acknowledged our table for almost 20 minutes. I know because I checked my watch when we sat. If someone would have said anything just to acknowledge we had a server and they were busy fine but no one and staff continually walked by us on the way to the kitchen.

When server lady did arrive it was no “Hi”, “sorry”, etc just what do you want to order. Didn’t ask about drinks or appetizers. Food came out in about 10 minutes which indicates it’s mainly premade. Server never checked on us. Never asked about desserts. Just dropped check off.

Side note: they have a very annoying chime doorbell plugged in random outlets that was continually going off to alert them to something. I was staring at one from our table and knew it was that as it flashed each time as well.“

“Had a very nice two night weekend stay. Room was very nice. Dining atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired. The restaurant/bar area and in turn the library room are EXTREMELY noisy!!! Use some sound deadening materials for Christ sake!! We wanted to relax in the library area which is very comfortable but couldn’t last more than a few minutes because of the the noise from the dining room. It wasn’t that there were loud groups either. The room is very noisy. Simple conversations had to get continually louder to overcome the noise which made it even worse. During dinner with two people we were forced to raise out voices to we could hear each other. Just not acceptable in an otherwise very nice hotel.“
