This was, without a doubt, one of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had. Palate is truly exceptional. They have masterfully created a unique and unforgettable culinary journey by combining local Korean fare, so indicative of the region, with a sophisticated fine dining French twist. Every dish was an adventure in flavor.
Our dinner lasted about 2.5 hours, a perfect pace to savor each course and the wonderful atmosphere. The wine pairings were superb and thoughtfully selected, enhancing the meal beautifully – though, as a minor note, the Riesling wasn't quite to our taste as the other selections.
We were celebrating a birthday, and the restaurant kindly provided a nice candle, which was a lovely touch. One of the standout features is the kitchen – it's as open as it gets! It was fascinating to watch the chefs at work, and you could genuinely tell that everyone in the kitchen enjoyed being there and was passionate about their craft. This positive energy definitely translated to the food and the overall ambiance.
If you're looking for a special, innovative, and deeply satisfying dining experience, Palate is an absolute must. We cannot recommend it highly enough!
