Chefs Palette was a surprisingly GREAT FIND! The service was top notch, and we were highly impressed with the quality of food! Samy was our server, and he was very respectful and we could tell he genuinely loves working and serving people at this restaurant. We told him this was our first visit, and everything he recommended, we tried. We were so impressed with everything!! Great recommendations for the Monday drink specials, the entrees we tried were the Shrimp and Grits which had craw fish in it and the other entree was a flounder entree. Desserts were both amazing!

We had a wonderful Birthday dinner on a Monday evening. Our server Ashley was fantastic and very observant. We really enjoyed the Deviled Eggs, Flounder and porkchop. We love coming here for special occasions. The staff always goes above and beyond to make our experience special.

FIVE STARS!!! Was in town for business and searched for the best in Cary to take the team… such a win. Across the table we ordered: Bacon Wrapped Filet Seared Branzino Seared Flounder Chicken Parmesan No notes across 7 people. Service was excellently attentive and knowledgeable. Special shout out to Ashley, our server. Chef’s palette was exceptionally accommodating with our reservation changes. The staff set a high bar for my dining expectations in the future.

We had a great date night here. Our server David was wonderful. Everything we ordered was delicious. The sauce from the mussels was so freaking good that I had the sauce to go and used it to make linguine at home. Cocktails were also excellent. The daily special cherry whisky sour and off-menu painkiller were my favorites. The place was hidden in a small neighborhood mall and the indoor ambiance was very intimate and romantic. We will be coming back for sure.

We went for our anniversary and had a great time! They added a little flag to the table so the server and others knew it was a special day for us. It server was Ashley who was fantastic! She helped us choose what to get, was super friendly, and knew everything we asked her. Overall, just fantastic service! The food was fantastic! We got the shrimp & grits, and the steak frites. Both were terrific. The steak was super tender & cooked perfectly! The food came out quickly, too. We also got the cheesecake dujor, which was a pumpkin spice flavor and was also incredible. I highly recommend going here, especially for a special occasion. Ask for Ashley, she really was fantastic!

We went here because they have an entire GF menu. It’s almost all their dishes but GF. They also have a mocktails menu. I got their cos-no-politan and it was SO tasty! My husband ate the Brie bites (not GF) and LOVED them, especially with the berry compote and the honey almonds. They give fresh bread and even split our Caesar salad that we shared (he ate it with house made croutons). The GF flounder meal was delicious. The service was fantastic. Cannot wait to go back. The GF dessert menu isn’t online but they have one!

I organize a group from our apartment building to go out to a new restaurant each month. This month we picked Chef's Palette, and it was wonderful! All of the managers were so helpful in setting up the reservation. Ashley was our server, and she was fantastic. Handled a group of 18 with different checks effortlessly, and was helpful with any questions. The ambience of the restaurant is great, and everyone loved the rotating artist displays. Overall, such a great experience, and we will be going back again!

Riley did an amazing job and provided exceptional service. The food was out of this world amazing. We had the Arancini for an appetizer and Steak Frite, Grilled Pork Chop, and Flounder. We will absolutely be back. They also accommodated our 1 hr early arrival to our reservation.
