Palette provides a colorful dining experience with an American inspired menu featuring in-house cut steaks and 21-day aged 100% black Angus beef.As we inherited a space as historical as the former Mautz Paint Company warehouse, we had to do it justice. We kept our building’s architectural features intact while updating the space with contemporary design elements and nostalgic touches. We wanted to keep the space faithful to its roots; filled with hues of colors and textures reminiscing of times when the East Washington corridor was a booming industrial area in the city.Our menu features steak cuts made in-house, chef’s masterpieces, artisan salads and soups, along with a unique beer and hand-crafted cocktail selection.

Stone Porch is named after it's huge stone wrap around porch but we don't let that vibe end there. Comfort food, refreshing cocktails to warm up the insides and a great team looking to make your visit memorable. Our head chef, Jacob Goldsberry, believes that from scratch is always best and that brings an authenticity to each dish that will remind you of home.

    We celebrated a birthday last night at Liberty Station. The waitress was amazing and ensured that we had plenty of food and beverages while also giving us time to spend together. The BBQ food was obviously smoked well and the flavor was amazing. My only regret is not discovering this restaurant sooner. I will definitely be back again soon.

    Service was great. One of the few places that we’ve booked on OpenTable that acknowledged why we were dining there. We were celebrating our anniversary before a badger game. Burgers were very good. Cheese curds could’ve been better. We appreciated the free dessert to celebrate our anniversary.

    We had originally booked Outdoor Seating, but the threat of rain had us sitting inside. They had a table ready near the windows so we still got the view. Service was quick. Food was very good. We had five separate orders and all were out in a reasonable amount of time and within moments of each other.
