The Palate - Fredericton

Absolutely amazing! My partner and both loved our plates. We took the dinner for two deal and everything was delicious. Highly recommend.the drinks were super tasty and service was great :

The only detractor in the evening is the noise level. For people with hearing aids I would suggest going early in the evening. Hard reflective surfaces amplify the sound and make it challenging to hear.The meal was fabulous, and the service was excellent.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice, but I wouldn't want to be seated at one of the 2 or 4 tops that is just sitting in the middle of the room. Would be nice if they had some kind of privacy dividers to make it feel more intimate. I see other reviews mention how smokey the dining room was and I agree, I think they need their HVAC serviced. Our waiter was pleasant but not much of a people person. As for the food, the bam bam shrimp were tasty, but they had a little handful of mixed greens with red onion and baby tomatoes on the side that had no dressing of any kind, didn't seem to do much for the dish. The dessert, sticky toffee pudding, was really solid. As for the main entrees, the lemon meringue salmon was decent, the Korean fried chicken had good flavors, but they used a 9oz butterflied chicken breast which seemed like overkill and didn't present well, two chicken thighs would've been more tender and plated nicer. Both plates had a side of roasted potatoes which had clearly been sitting in a warming oven for too long, over seasoned with chili powder and dried rosemary and were room temp. Overall, disappointed with the main entree quality.

Pretty disappointing.we added this spot to our trip from edmonton.Felt rushed from the beginning. I ordered the overpriced $40 ribeye steak .It had so much gristle I couldn't eat it not to mention it was 1/4 thick.The families meals were ok but nothing great.Our server seamed like she was on autopilot not really listening to what we were saying.The Room was filled with heavy smoke from The kitchen that almost made you want to gag!Very disappointed

I have eaten in many different cities and in many restaurants all over Canada but I can honestly say that the Spicy Chicken Carbonara Linguinechicken breast, garlic, onion, mushroom, sundried tomato, jalapeno puree, bacon, rich creamy sauce, and parmesan is the best meal that I have ever eaten in my life.
