It takes a lot for me to come and review a place on google, but this dining experience was worth it. In a time when dining experiences almost always seem to fall short Chef’s Palatte brought their A game! The atmosphere was amazing! The server was knowledgeable and very personable! And the food was out of this world. The drinks were phenomenal and Prices are reasonable. We will definitely be back.

Ashley did a great job! They were able to notify us when there was a risk for allergen cross-contamination and kept everybody happy and safe. The Steak was cooked beautifully, and the brie bites went perfectly with the almonds and pepper jelly. Definitely worth a stop and we’ll certainly be returning. Thanks for a great dinner!

The food and service were both excellent. Beef medallions were soooo flavorful. Nice variety seafood platter. Very good unique drinks. Generous dessert portion.

My wife and I went here for our anniversary this year. They greeted us saying “Happy Anniversary!” Our table even had a little happy anniversary card on it when we were seated. They also gave us a free dessert, which was unexpected. So, they made the occasion special in that way.
Our waiter was good, not great but, he did his job. Personally, I feel he could have come around a little bit more to check on us but, that’s just me. Also, he didn’t tell us anything about the menu in advance, like things that were not available or specials. Only after I ordered did he tell us what I had ordered was sold out. So, only a minor disappointment there.
We ordered drinks from their specialty menu and they were great. Our appetizers were fantastic, although we felt there was a little too much salmon on the Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs but, still very good. However, the Seared Tuna Wontons were phenomenal.
I ordered the Beef Short Rib and my wife got the Mustard Marinated Pork Tenderloin. At first, I was only slightly disappointed that there was only one, lone short rib served but, after tasting said short rib, that disappointment melted away. And much like my disappointment, the short rib and potatoes were melt in your mouth delicious and the carrots were cooked to perfection! The short rib pulled apart with very little effort and the pan jus added a rich, velvety compliment to it all. The Pork tenderloin was very well seasoned, not overpowering but also not underwhelming. My wife’s only complaints were, the pork was slightly dry and the corn pudding lacked a palate pleasing flavor. Other than that, she was very pleased as well.
Our complimentary dessert was a NY style cheese cake with whipped cream and a raspberry compote, which was very good as well. Although, not something to write home about.
To my surprise, this little excursion didn’t set us back a whole lot. It was actually very affordable, in the $150 – $200 range after tax and tip. For 2 appetizers, 3 specialty cocktails, and 2 entrées, that’s not too bad in my experience.
All in all, we were very pleased with our choice and experience at Chef’s Palette. We would recommend and will be back to try more of their mind tingling menu items. Also, as I understand, they change their menu based on season so, we’re excited to see what comes to the menu in the future. Bon appétit!

Very good food. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. A lot of diners celebrate special occasions here (birthdays, anniversaries). At peak times the service and kitchen can be slow due to being overwhelmed.
There are 2 separate sides of the restaurant, a dining side and a bar side. Despite having a full bar, there are no beers on draft, which was a disapointment.
Standout dishes:
– Ahia Tuna Wonton appetizer
– Steak Frites
– Shrimp and Grits

We visited The Chef’s Palette for the first time to celebrate an anniversary. Every dish was delicious, the server – Kaylee – was kind and knowledgeable, and we had a lovely evening. I can’t believe this gem of a restaurant has been around for years and it took me so long to discover it! Can’t wait to go back.

We attempted to eat here tonight, but after sitting down, we were told they didn’t get a shipment in and were out of the short ribs, lamb shank, beef Medallions and one other item.
This is a big chunk of their dinner menu (and we had come for the short ribs and lamb). They had my cell# but didn’t bother to text me to let us know all of these items wouldn’t be available. Had we known, we would have cancelled.
We live in Durham, but luckily we were in the area for something else. Otherwise it would have been a 40 minute drive for nothing.
You failed your customers tonight. Next time when at least a third of your dinner menu won’t be available, text your customers to let them know so they can decide whether to still come or not. Very disappointed.
Luckily, my wife suggested we go to LuLu Bang Bang in RTP and it was amazing (and much cheaper). If you’ve never been there, you need to check it out. The Korean BBQ steak is unreal. And very good sized portions.
UPDATE: I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Too many businesses ignore their reviews. I hope you can find a solution so that your customers can be notified if you’re out of a lot of food on a given night.

First time eating here so I didn’t know what to expect. Went during lunch so it was seat yourself, however, it wasn’t long before the bartender came to greet us. She was very pleasant and accommodating. The music was great and not too loud. Everything was clean with no weird smells. The food was 10/10 must have again! I will definitely be back! Maybe for dinner next time!

Very disappointing Valentine’s Day experience
I’m not from Cary so I come here maybe 2-3 times a year from NW Raleigh. The regular menu is usually good. The Valentine’s experience was not good.
1) We had to wait for our table. Then they sat us by the bathroom. Not horrible but not a good atmosphere.
2) My filet was undercooked. I asked for medium rare. It was still moving.
3) His food was some roasted vegetables and lukewarm seafood thrown on a plate with zero presentation.
4) We had trouble getting the waiter at times. He was just too busy. He didn’t ask how things were until the very end. Then said the manager wouldn’t let him discount anything. We hadn’t asked. We just wanted someone to know how bad it was. We still tipped 10% despite the bad service.
5) With tax and tip, including one glass of wine each, it was $264 for a three course dinner. My mistake.
I would come back for the regular menu, but not a special event.

This is a genuine, sit down diner spot, so don’t expect a fast meal. Great for a date. Wonderful service. Genuinely interested in making sure you have a wonderful meal.
We started with the parmesean custard appetiser and were very, very pleased. I had the duck. Loved it! Husband had the flounder topped with crab. It was INCREDIBLE! The mocktails are the new style – low sugar content. Some might think them a bit sour, but they are very nice. We came from out of town. We will genuinely come again!
