    Smoky Old Fashioned
    Lindsy H.

    Highly rated on Yelp we thought we'd try Palate for our date night. Since the website & Yelp state a reservation is highly recommended, we did. We arrived 15min early for our reservation and there was one other couple there. We were given a choice on where to sit and chose the wall booth. The woman who seated us was kind and shared the curated wine list and her favorites on the menu. We had already decided we'd just try a couple sharable plates and skip an entree. I chose a glass of Pinot Noir while my hubby ordered his favorite Old Fashioned. The wine pour was a generous portion and the Old Fashioned was served in a very smoky fashion, but the taste was just okay. + Rustico Meatballs - being dairy free, these were for my hubby. We laughed when they arrived at they were average size meatballs but they had been cut in half and there were 2.5, HALF meatballs in the bowl! What happened to the other half of the third meatball? We giggled over what may have happened to it. They tasted okay, but nothing special and we were glad we were not sharing them as it was really only two meatballs, plus the half. + Tuscan Hummus + extra blistered flatbread - I'm so glad I ordered the extra bread! The veggies were fresh and tasty, but not enough to eat the generous portion of hummus provided. The flatbread was yummy and warm and a great accompaniment to the hummus. The hummus was good, not great or special, but good. + Mac & Cheese, add bacon - before my hubby ordered this he asked if he could add a meat to make it more hearty. After the two meatballs he was still hungry (wink). He was told he could add bacon to the dish, and that sounded great. The mac & cheese was portion was okay, but the taste was pretty bland and it wasn't actual bacon pieces, but more like bacon bits added in. Pretty disappointing. + Patattas Bravas - I like spicy so this dish sounded tasty. My nose was running instantly and once my tongue took a break I tried to taste the different flavors separately as the sauce overwhelmed the dish. There were maybe 8 breakfast potato cubes in the sauce and they were drizzled with the lemon garlic aoili, which was good and I wished there was more of that & less sauce. Individually the items were good, but together the spicy sauce overwhelmed it all. Our service was great, kind and offered a smile all night long. The ambiance was creative, welcoming and the live music was really nice too. We could see this as a great wine bar or happy hour spot, but won't be back for a date night.

    Ok, you all, we had the LOVELIEST Valentine dinner tonight...honestly, surprising! A dear friend gave us a gift card this restaurant, "Palate by LRC, a Bistro, Wine and Art Gallery, on Preston Rd in North Dallas. This is a "Sips, Bites, and Vibes" place with the coolest atmosphere...has a walk-in wine room with some exceptional wines, and the coolest little gift store adjoining it. And did I mention live music? Everything has been thought through down to the texture in their napkins. We ordered all that's underlined in red (in pics) PLUS smothered chicken (mashed potato smothered!), AND a DELICIOUS red velvet brownie with ice cream and a perfect coffee-flavored mousse on top of it. You all. I'm a cake and brownie snob, and this was to die for! Our waitress, Cash, was ADORABLE and accommodating! The owners, Christopher and Tom are the kindest, most charming people, going from table to table, making conversation with everyone and making sure they were happy. And the chef, Eddie, did not miss a beat! EVERYthing we tried was AMAZING!!! YUMMY!! EVERYthing. I wish I would've taken more pics of the beautiful food! They also have a cocktail/wine expert that we didn't get to meet named James. Next time! I rarely take to restaurants, but I will be shouting their praises to everyone I know. This place is so unassuming from the street, but it's a little TREASURE in the inside! We got there early, but it filled up fast (they do take reservations) If you want a special bites and wine kind of place to go, we HIGHLY recommend Palate, by IRC in every way!!

    Artistic friends!

    Made a reservation online and had been to their Southlake location before, where the service was…read morealready great, but this visit was even better. Henry and Bernie were seriously the best. Henry checked on us often, was super patient, and just genuinely kind. Bernie kept our water full and was always nearby making sure we were good without hovering. They made the whole night feel easy and fun. The food was just as good. We started with the mushroom fondue, creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. The bread was perfect, crispy and thin but still sturdy enough to scoop everything up without falling apart. We also split one of the toast boards and loved it. Great mix of flavors and just a really fun thing to share. They're also known for some really good favorites like the burrata toast, steak frites, truffle fries, and their charcuterie boards. Their brunch gets a lot of hype too, especially the French toast and eggs Benedict. And their seasonal cocktails are always a hit, really creative and well balanced. Bathrooms were clean, always a plus. Only tiny note, I wish there were more purse or coat hooks, every place needs those. Overall, we had such a great time. The service really stood out and the food totally delivered. Definitely one of those spots you leave already planning your next visit.

    I like their Bruschetta Board! You get to pick 4 from 10+ spreads--my favorites are the ricotta…read morewith dates & pistachio, smoked salmon with pesto, prosciutto with fig & mascarpone, and fresh mozzarella. The board is perfect for sharing with friends or a group of friends over a glass of wine, whether indoors or on the patio. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. They have some great happy hour deals: $6 wine glasses and pitchers of beer every day until 5pm, plus bruschetta boards and wine bottles for $25 after 8pm on Mondays & Tuesdays.

    Parking: Unsure of the parking situation since I've only ordered delivery…read more Interior: Please see above. Service: No issues with ordering online and delivery. Food: Tried many different pizzas and pastas here and they have all been delicious! Drinks: N/A - I've only ordered food.

    Made reservations for a special celebration Dinner with my Bestie from out of town, for Tuesday,…read moreMarch 24th. It was a huge disaster! We had scheduled an early dinner (6:00) and there were only 7 tables throughout the night enjoying dinner service. Well, we won't be going back till the addition to the restaurant is completed, due to the noise factor!!!!!!! There was sawing noise which was so loud we joked it made us feel like we were at the dentist office having a negative experience. Along with nail guns, not what you wish to have when you're trying to have a an enjoyable dinner experience! Upon being sat we asked Patrick, our server, if they were going to continue working and he was very put off by our question. He told they were about to wrap it up for the evening. Nope, still going strong at 7:00!!? We should have left...but we had committed to the evening by ordering a bottle of wine, meatballs (deliciousness!), and salad that came overdressed with dressing (yuck!). My friend ordered the Margarita pizza, which they left the fresh basil off, which is a key ingredient. Me, the sea-bass, which was overcooked & very fishy. My hubby the pork & beef pasta with ricotta, which was overcooked and mushy. Needless to say less than stellar. And Patrick was not very friendly or accommodating. Worst night of my Life, I was so embarrassed! When dining, you usually have background music, not a building under construction??!!! $200 dinner, ruined, horrible!!!!

    This place is a must in Rockwall. A MUST…read more I was hungry, and wanted something flavorful. Got on yelp and saw that they had some good things on the menu and decided to give it a try. What I loved most about this place was how local it was. People were dropping in, and everyone knew each other. We loved it. I highly recommend getting a reservation. We came in and sat at the bar, which wasn't bad, but just a heads up! Bartender/server Russo - AMAZING! This space isn't extremely spacious. They do have an outside, but it was really cold. We started off with a wine flight. Such a lovely poor for a flight, and the price was only 18. My man and I actually shared it. Will easily get this every time. For food - you can't go wrong with anything. I mean anything. We were blown away. We started off with the seared tuna, the sauce was so tasty we dipped our toasted focaccia bread in it. Perfect combination. We couldn't choose between the two pastas so we got both. The lamb gnocchi and ricotta lemon ravioli everything was so perfect. Both great portions, both extremely flavorful. You have to get these. We ended the night with a desert and again, blown away. We got the chocolate mousse and cleaned the bowl. It had little bites of vanilla cake in it, so good. This place is fantastic. We are easily coming back, we need to try the sandwiches!
