I visited while staying at the Indigo Hotel in which this bar is located. There are many seating options, including 2 dining rooms, the bar itself and also the adjacent lounge couches (where I enjoyed my drink). It felt very cozy. The custom cocktails and wine list provided lots of options. The service was friendly and prompt. I enjoyed a glass of Pinot Noir that I thoroughly enjoyed while relaxing in a couch with my book. Definitely a nice break from the stress of work travel. There is also food available that I was told was allergy-friendly but I didn't eat during this visit. Great place to relax while traveling.

The food here looked like it was going to be amazing, but it turned out being super lackluster. I got the salmon sandwich and brussel sprouts. The Brussel sprouts were incredible, but the salmon sandwich lacked flavor. The amount of food you get for the starters price point was also a miss. My partner got a steak and he said it was one of the worst he'd ever eaten. The service was also pretty poor for an evening where there was hardly anyone there. It took forever to get refills and it seemed like we were waiting forever to eat. It gets stars because it's a gorgeously decorated restaurant and hotel and I do hope they can figure out the restaurant. But until then we won't be back.

Cool place, inside of the indigo hotel, not a big place but the vibe is super cool overall. The drink menu was fun and had really good cocktails overall I got like a rum banana old fashion and it was great. Service was great and efficient overall. Food was good with a few options but all very unique and good. Overall would go again

Palette is a hidden Madison gem, on the first floor of the Indigo Hotel across from Breese Stevens Field. The cocktails are super-crafted to perfection, you can tell they put a lot of time and thought into them. The chai brandy slush tastes just like grandma would make for Thanksgiving. Place was clean and stylish with a nice outdoor patio. Hand battered cheese curds and fish fry was great. You can get a free appetizer by signing up for their email list!

Such a nice hotel bar and restaurant! Really nice staff and theme throughout. Love the cute palette menu. I got the Palette burger, which comes with fries. The burger was amazing and super flavorful. The fries were undercooked and soggy but I ate them anyway as I was too tired to go back downstairs. The drinks looked super good! Love this hotel, I'll be back.

Went here on a Sunday for brunch. You seat yourself and the waiter was very laid back. It was pretty quiet in the dining room overall. One note about the dining room though, is that we did notice a lit of dust on the ledges. As for the food, we got some avocado toast and a fruit bowl. The avocado toast tasted fine, but the price was too much for the small pieces of bread you got. The fruit cup was actually good value, but some of the green grapes were pretty brown. The coffee is complementary, so we think that's what builds into the higher price points.Overall, we were looking for a quieter place so this was nice. However, unless you get coffee, it's not worth the price and the food is just average. We wouldn't recommend for brunch.

Food was ok here. Very interesting menu. The street corn was way too salty. The waitress was very friendly. Gave a sample of a beer that I enjoyed and wound up ordering. Nice bar for a hotel.

Im giving this restaurant 4 out of 5 stars because the service was extremely slow. We got our drinks 30-40 minutes after they were ordered. The cheese curd as an appetizer was yummy alongside the sauces. The steak was cooked well and the Brussels sprouts were delicious. I loved the drink, it was so good and the hint of lemon as well!

Tried to eat here. Awful service; we were completely ignored. The bar prices are astronomical compared to the rest of the neighborhood.
