• Brazilian Steakhouse • Madison
Booked 26 times today
For those of you who are not current or former gauchos who roam the prairies of Brazil, you might need an explanation of our style of service. At the end on a long day of work tending to cattle and stock, Brazilian cowboys (Gauchos) and their families would prepare great feasts. They would skewer various meats, roast them over a fire pit and bring them to the table for carving. There would be a bounty of seasonal vegetables, stews and salads using fresh ingredients from the fruits of their labor.

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.

    Truly amazing food! I have no idea how you produce such volumes with such freshness and quality! The buffet, meats and desserts are top of the line as far as I’m concerned. I sampled at least 10-12 different items from the buffet, and all of them were excellent. The greeting was warm and welcoming, and the staff were attentive , professional, and very fast in there responsiveness. And the ambience was nearly perfect. And the value of what is provided versus what I paid is quite fair and reasonable. Thank you for a terrific experience! I can’t say enough good things about it and will definitely be back.
