We googled places by our hotel and thought this one looked good - and it was terrific! Beautiful 1/2 mile walk on a lovely night. Wonderful, friendly service with with a menu that would appeal to all. Great food! Definitely recommend!

I recently had my birthday dinner at Fine Palate. Upon walking in the staff greeted us immediately and let us know our table was ready for our party of 7. We opted to do the chefs tasting menu and wow were we thrilled we did! The food and service were so incredible my friends and I haven't stopped raving about it since!! They were very accommodating of our one vegetarian guest and those who had food allergies. I loved it so much my BF and I will be heading back this weekend just the two of us for dinner and cocktails. I highly recommend visiting this gem!! Oh and the drinks are yummmm!

I absolutely love this place!!!! With the city of Philadelphia being filled with great restaurants this takes too place in my book. The owners Vince and Courtney make you feel welcome and truly create the perfect ambiance. All the food is fresh and tastes amazing. I really enjoy that Vince constantly changes his menu to give you many new experiences. Go there when you're in Philly.

Went there when traveling to the city, food was great, lots of variety there is something for everyone. I asked if the waitress would just pick out my food(so many options ) and she had the chef come out. Nice little guy I think his name is Vince- not sure how he was able to make all this food being the place was packed but he did and it was great. Very cool actually stayed a while and hung out at the bar. Great food, great people really nice place for a casual high end dinner.

Fine Palate is a hidden gem! This warm and welcoming restaurant serves creative American cuisine that is always delicious. It's one of my favorite haunts, be it for a cocktail and a snack (their happy hour is great), a Friday night, or a special occasion. It never disappoints.

Amazing atmosphere, amazing drinks, most importantly....amazing ownership and staff. Vern Is second to none. If you happen to go there on a night when Vern is bartending then you have really lucked out. His knowledge of wine food and drinks is impressive.....but his personality is the real draw..welcoming funny and an all around good time. The same can be said for the owners..id highly recommend stopping in for an amazing meal or just a drink...he'll both!!!!!

Sincerely, the most hidden place in Philadelphia. I almost don't want to share it, but will. Incredible staff that understand hospitality; terrific bar options; and the food, THE FOOD. Plates were out of this world delicious. I stopped in, saw they had a bottle

The server was nice, ambiance, nice. Food was not at all good. The server did attempt to make up for it, and had one of the dishes remade. I like "fussy" foods layered with surprising elements. Your chef totally missed the mark, and should consider simplifying dishes focusing on flavor. The prices, I can't remember if they were too high or simply too high for what we were served.

Make sure you know what type of chef you hire before you open a restaurant! Good taste wasn't worth any single dollar you spend, nothing especially besides the room itself. Beginner waitresses, very low food quality, and that's all! Never again!

Not a good experience. Condescending staff, small plates are smaller than normal, and they don't allow you to split the bill more than 4x. They charged my friend for each soda she drank (non-alcoholic)!! Never heard of such a thing! I wouldn't go back!
