Dined alone. Duck entree was very nice, abiet a little short on duck - only three small cubes in the dish! I wanted more!
Hapuka fish for main was perfectly cooked, with a lovely side of beans.
I didn't really need dessert, but chose the mousse - I found the salted peanut icecream a strange combination with the milk chocolate but it was still a very nice dessert.
Great place, 30 seconds walk from Ibis hotel. Recommend.

Palate was recommended to us for the best restaurant to dine at in Hamilton and we definetly were not disappointed. The meal matched with the chosen wines hit all the notes of satisfaction and cant wait to have another meal there next time. Atmosphere, presentation of food plus service was awesome.

Took mum there for dinner and she loved the food especially the desert. We tried the place with some friends before and every one of us enjoyed our food.
The presentation and flavors are just amazing. Try it you won't be Sorry!

We chose Palate to have our wedding anniversary dinner. Not sure why we have hardly ever eaten here but was very impressed with the food, decor and the service. Definitely fine dining.

Average atmosphere, service & food. It was disappointing really. Did not enjoy the atmosphere and food was not as expected. Not a place I would visit again.
