Not much else can be said about this quaint, well curated operation that gets just about everything right that hasn't already been said. They've got a handful of two person tables, a small bar, and a table that can hold a group of 6. This level of intimacy is precisely what makes this place so special, but be forewarned you have to have a reservation to have a real shot of having a space to enjoy it. The owner was hands on in the kitchen the entirety of our visit and made it a point to interact with all of his patrons- that's a mark of someone who takes great pride in what they do and you can tell from the overall execution of Palate. Great spot for a date or catch up session with a friend. Don't sleep on the flatbreads!

This place is just special. You will have to open the door to figure out if it’s open, but worth a curious pull in on the door handle.
Jazzy Rock and Roll playing gently in the background. Locals flanking key spots around the room. Just have a seat and indulge.
The food is mostly flat bread based. There are daily specials, and a good selection of wine. There is a nice selection of many varieties. Their liquor/ market next door ensures you’re covered.
Kale Salad - 5star
Spicy Shrimp Bisque Soup - 5star
Mediterranean Flat Bread w/ mozzarella - 4.5
Beer Braised Italian Sausage over Linguine - 5stars
Service “Pat” - 5stars
Simply, clean ingredients and the taste reflects this. Order with confidence.
I’m coming back! Small parties only. 4 or less.
Enjoy!

We had the shrimp flatbread and it was a tasty treat! The dough is very light and thin, but so good. I should have ordered two, but one is fine if you have an app/ salad prior. Great wine selection by the glass too.

Stopped at Palate b/c my first choice was closed, but Palate should have been my first choice! Leia was super nice! I had the salami and sun-dried tomato Flatbread special, which was outstanding!
At 6pm on a Tuesday in early October they weren't busy but were starting to pick up.
One Flatbread was a medium size meal for one, I'd say to plan on one per person.

I enjoyed my early dinner here yesterday. I had the pasta of the day (Mushrooms + Feta) and a red wine flight. I couldn’t help but snap a few pics of my bowl and the charcuterie board for the table next to me. The service was attentive, I liked watching the chefs lovingly make their dishes!
