"My wife and I went for the Mother's Day Brunch and it was a treat. The food and service were excellent. Recommend reservations though they will do their best to fit you in. This was our second time there and will not be our last. They change their menu weekly so if you have a favorite dish then call ahead to see what is on the menu, though we haven't had any food that wasn't prepared and presented professionally. Our compliments to owner and chef."

"Nice salad. Chicken, potatoes, mushrooms. -- good comfort food. Waiter a bit quick clearing table and his answer to a question about salad was I don't know. And he wasn't taking time to find out for you."

"This small resturant in the iddle of Snow Hill, Maryland is very popular with locals (If you can call 30 miles away as we and our friends are). Located about 25 miles from Ocean City, Maryland it is well worth the drive for tourists too.
Each dish is exquisitly prepared with fresh ingredients. I'd give it 10 stars if I could and then I would tack on another couple for the fresh home baked deserts.
Simply amazing!!!"

"The menu was limited and a bit conventional; but the cooking itself was beyond reproach. I didn't know salmon could taste that good."

"We have been several times, overall everything has always been great. The petite filet with reduction sauce was great. I was a little disappointed with the oyster's casino, way to much breading."

"First time at the Palette. We selected a bottle of wine. Our waitress (Priscilla) asked us if we would like water. She didn't bring it until we reminded her of it later in the meal. We didn't like the fact that you have to pay for bread. We still find it to be a turn off. We both ordered the filet, were not given a steak knife, however it was juicy and tender enough that we didn't need one. There were other tables getting more attention than we were, seemed they were regulars. We ended up having to wait over 20 minutes to get our change. Our waitress forgot to bring it, then it was given to the wrong table. Our food was great, yes to Oysters Casino. Overall, the food was excellent, the service lacking for the caliber of the restaurant."
