    Palette Restaurant was wonderful - the ambience was lovely, the setting gorgeous and the service was top notch. The food was beautifully prepared, amazingly presented, and was absolutely delicious. This is top cuisine! Being a 'foodie' with eating in great restaurants being my thing, I am looking forward to trying other delights on the menu at Palette when I return.

    The food we had was cooked beautifully. The service was good, and the ambience was really nice. A few more options for food would be good and some larger portions would also add value. Overall, we really enjoyed the evening.

    This was one of, if not the best fine dining experiences I've had in Australia. The interior was beautiful, the service was outstanding, the wine list was immaculate and the attention to detail in every menu item was just incredible. If you have the coin I cannot recommend the tasting menu enough.

    We enjoyed the experience, it was not as amazing as we had hoped. The service was sensational, very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I'd sit outside next time.
