The Palate Restaurant & Café

The Palate Restaurant & Café Review

Artwork by local artists enhances the colorful decor here, and the open kitchen gives a view of the enthusiastic red-seal chefs in action. The menu leans toward Mediterranean and Western European, adding a few exotic touches and interesting combinations of flavors, as in a Thai coconut chicken soup, a richly flavored pork tenderloin with smoked paprika, and lemon meringue salmon, with lemon, Parmesan and chive aioli. The vegetarian option might be a tofu "meat loaf" with baked sweet potato and roasted onion sauce. The lunch menu focuses on creative sandwiches, panini, stir-fries, and salads and is significantly less expensive than dinner.
