Chef's Palette - Cary

The food add Chef 's Palette is always excellent, and their rotating menu makes offers very interesting and creative choices. We ate their several times [before]. Our table service was excellent. However for a more upscale and higher priced restaurant there are a few minor, yet notable issues: There is a very limited selection of vegetarian dishes basically a salad, one appetizer and one main entry . Often restaurants of that caliber offer additional options on request e.g. Maximillian 's . We just got a simple No we can 't . Very disappointing. Secondly though not a big issue when the dining room is full the place is really loud and there are no acoustic buffers whatsoever. Vegetarian options: Insufficient selection of vegetarian entrees and no flexibility in e.g. putting an portfolio of side dishes together as a full meal.

Perfect place for a birthday dinner! Great service from Chris, one of the nicest cocktails I’ve had in a while (espresso old fashioned), really enjoyed our meals (duck and steak frites). Nice atmosphere. I would highly recommend.

Food is super delicious and service was great, highly recommend! Wife ordered the shrimp and grits and they were superb, I ordered the ribeye and it was steak done right. The potatoes which are often bland and overlooked at other restaurants were perfect as well ?

Food was amazing. Service was professional but extremely slow. Had a table of 5 for my wifes birthday. Sat down immediately and waited 20 minutes before we got drinks. Ordered apps which came out quickly and were very good. Then we ordered entrees which also came out quick and we're wonderful. After we ate the server cleared out plates and we sat there for another 25 minutes with an empty table until one of my friends had to grab the waiter for our check.

First time visiting. Food and bar are really good. A bit pricey. Lots of menu items to return for.
