Palate Restaurant

Great food. Great cocktails. Even better waitress! Courtney you were a pleasure. You were professional, efficient and your attention to detail was absolutely brilliant! You put up with my slight tipsy-ness and tolerated my partners banter. 11/10 would highly recommend and come back for your service alone. Well done. And very much appreciated. Ps. Pomegranate and Venison is a combination to die for.

Excellent food and service. Expensive but good for fine dining. We enjoyed our night here

Came here for lunch on a weekday. Very peaceful environment except when the screaming banshees entered...... ordered the $25 express lunch menu and got an entree and a main. The calamari was amazing, the spices on it lifted the flavour and it was cooked to perfection. Can never go wrong with some pickled daikon. Main was a veal steak don’t eat it often enough to know how it’s meant to be cooked but it tasted great! There was a tangy sweet molasses along with a purée and kumara pieces to die for. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. All in all I’d definitely go back everyday to try the rest of the lunch menu cause it was absolutely worth it!!

Lovely atmosphere.. would be a perfect date night restaurant.
The menu looked so good it was really hard to decide.
I had the lamb and it was cooked perfectly.I also had the brioche for desert which I also enjoyed.
I will definitely be back.

Had a wonderful relaxed lunch here today. Great outlook through the trees to the river, creative food, served professionally, and at a very reasonable price given the quality of the food, service and surroundings.
