We selected Palate for its menu, good reviews and location away from the Orlando tourists. There were only a few other patrons in the restaurant. We ordered the bronzed salmon and the pork chops. The salmon was a little dry and light on seasoning. The pork chops were better. The chocolate Old Fashioned was awesome!!!

It was great! It gave me exactly what I was looking for a quite place, no heavy traffic, to eat with my Friends and Family. Great drinks and Vicky (owner) said she came up with the menu herself so everything has its own little spin on hit :) definitely would go back!

The service from Jean-Paul was great! That is where the good starts and ends. The food was absolutely horrible. We were so embarrassed to have visitors from Northern Ireland visit us. Due to the ratings, we thought this would be a great option for 3 families. There were 2 flies in the drink of one guest (shown to Jean-Paul), the beef wellington was not fully cooked and was very doughy at the base. Three of the dishes were cold. I am not sure if they had a new bartender, but the drinks were pure syrup and no/ little alcohol. My medium steak was brought out rare and bloody. The broccolini had zero taste. It tasted like it was just boiled in water and pulled out and dished. It's the first time in a very long time I left a full uneaten plate at a restaurant.

Never would have thought of this place, so very glad they decided to participate in Magical Dining. To start I had the BLT Flatbread, which was large and tasty. My wife had the Boursin Fried Eggplant and thought it was good. For entrees I had The Coffee Rubbed Pork Chop and my wife the Grouper Stack. Mine was very good and hers was fabulous. After the big starters, we ended up only finishing half our entrees. The next night we had them and they were just as good day 2. The desserts were just plain killer. The Key Lime Pie was the best we've ever had. The Chocolate Cake was heavenly.

Had a big group for magical dining. They seemed very short staffed and for a 7:30pm dinner reservation to have appetizers at 8:30 and your main course by 9pm was not great. We all even decidedly just bagged our desserts as it was already 10pm at this point. And it took another 30-40 mins to figure out the bills for everyone.The cocktails and food were underwhelming. The lychee martini was warm which affected flavor. The blue lemonade drink was more lemonade and sugar as opposed to being a cocktail. Lacking in food flavor and in presentations. Very disappointing. Definitely would not recommend.

Our second visit. Food is okay, not great. Booths are very dark, if it's also dark outside you will need your phone to read the menu or look at your food. The garlic mashed potatoes were blend, our entire table wanted to add salt. The shrimp curry was nice, the steaks were super tender, but every person at our table tasted a bitter, burned taste on the outside, not your regular yummy grill marks (dirty grill)? The carrots were cooked to mush, overpowered with lots of cinnamon and quite spicy, we mentioned this to the waiter and asked for rice as a side instead and were charged $3 for it. For almost $50 per person we expected more, just as the first time. Both times we did provide feedback to management. Not coming back any time soon. Too bad, we would love to support a local restaurant.

I went for magical dining. The appetizer options were unfortunately unsatisfying. I first ordered the curry shrimp and when the shrimp came out they were completely burnt…charred… so I had to send it back. On the second try the shrimp came way under done…who wants to eat raw shrimp? And on top of that the curry sauce that came with it had absolutely no flavor. My entrée however was the stacked grouper and it was absolutely delicious and so was my dessert option. It was a cheesecake. I hate that the appetizer ruined the meal, but I will say the other two dishes were absolutely amazing.

We visited Palate to try out their Magical Dining Menu. We found the service very good, the restaurant is comfortable and welcoming. We were their on Saturday so they had live music. But the best was the food - portion sizes for magical Dining were very good. I started with a grilled shrimp appetizer in coconut curry sauce. Then went with the coffee rubbed pork chop - wonderfully seared, cooked to perfection and very tender and juicy - loved it. Finished with a Blueberry cobbler white chocolate cheese cake - do I need to say more - Wow. We are not local to this restaurant but we will definitely be back.

The food here is OUTSTANDING! We had not tried it before and we loved it! Every bite we enjoyed was chef prepared and delicious. The service was also perfect. Our server Rose was delightful and took care of our every need. We asked her for recommendations and what she suggested were perfect and so tasty. She also shared with us about Palate's brunch and live music nights. We will be back many times as we now want to try everything on the menu. We are so happy to have found this treasure only a short drive from our home. Run, don't walk, to try this awesome restaurant!

We had a very nice Father's Day dinner. I had sausage and kale soup, and the shrimp kabobs, which were both delicious. My husband had the pork chop with spinach and mashed sweet potatoes. Everything was excellent, except the sweet potatoes were too salty. Our server, Chris mentioned it to the Chef. He came to our table and apologized and gave us a $5.00 discount. This is the third time we've been here. Chris is a great server. He checked on us throughout our meal. I highly recommend the Palate.

This was our first experience at Palate. The food was fantastic. The drinks were reasonably priced when at happy hour. The service was first rate! I wish they would advertise better. We went in on a Friday at 5pm and left by 8pm and the restaurant was only about half full. If you have not been to Palate Bistro yet...go. You won't regret it!
