Always enjoy the food, drink and company of Fine Palate! Great wine selection and every so often let Tiffany (bartender) spice up the evening with a cocktail.
My favorite go to items on the menu are Buffalo Tartar and the Burrata, but definitely one of the best steaks in the area.
Most recent try (definitely worth it) is the Tuna Tartar!
Check them out for happy hour or date night!
Trust me, the food here is the best in The City. Period. Vince is a great chef and he has a very storied resumé with the top Restaurants in the world. He choose to open up the establishment with Courtney and the results speak for themselves. If I May speak for them, the best Chicken Parm, Oysters, and Vegi dishes are here at Fine Palate. I eat her every week.
Went there when traveling to the city, food was great, lots of variety there is something for everyone. I asked if the waitress would just pick out my food(so many options ) and she had the chef come out. Nice little guy I think his name is Vince- not sure how he was able to make all this food being the place was packed but he did and it was great. Very cool actually stayed a while and hung out at the bar. Great food, great people really nice place for a casual high end dinner.
Thanks fine Palate for showing me a great time
I recently had my birthday dinner at Fine Palate. Upon walking in the staff greeted us immediately and let us know our table was ready for our party of 7. We opted to do the chefs tasting menu and wow were we thrilled we did! The food and service were so incredible my friends and I haven't stopped raving about it since!! They were very accommodating of our one vegetarian guest and those who had food allergies. I loved it so much my BF and I will be heading back this weekend just the two of us for dinner and cocktails. I highly recommend visiting this gem!! Oh and the drinks are yummmm!
Amazing wine list. Most aren't available at the state store, so there's always something new to try. Menu rotates often , there's always new dishes mixed with old favorites. The owner, Courtney, is friendly and warm. She makes you feel like a guest in her house, not like a customer. Posh yet casual, great for an after work cocktail or a quiet romantic dinner.
How is this:
We stumbled upon Fine Palate a couple of years ago on our way back to the train station. It looked like such a cozy little place, we could not resist going in. We were not disappointed. The atmosphere is charming and the food is delicious. Upon subsequent visits, we’ve had the pleasure of getting to know the owners Courtney and Vince, who is also the chef. It’s rarely a place we miss when we go to the city because they are always so welcoming. Over the past couple of years we have had the opportunity to try so many different appetizers and meals on their menu, each delightful! Some of our favorites are the salt & pepper squid, the oysters, the gluten free gnocchi, the chicken parmigiana and the 40 oz ribeye! If you are a meat eater, the steaks are not to be missed. We have several people in our family that have celiac and Vince always does an excellent job of making our meals gluten-free. We look forward to many more trips there in the future. Cheers!
Amazing atmosphere, amazing drinks, most importantly....amazing ownership and staff. Vern Is second to none. If you happen to go there on a night when Vern is bartending then you have really lucked out. His knowledge of wine food and drinks is impressive.....but his personality is the real draw..welcoming funny and an all around good time. The same can be said for the owners..id highly recommend stopping in for an amazing meal or just a drink...he’ll both!!!!!
I absolutely love this place!!!! With the city of Philadelphia being filled with great restaurants this takes too place in my book. The owners Vince and Courtney make you feel welcome and truly create the perfect ambiance. All the food is fresh and tastes amazing. I really enjoy that Vince constantly changes his menu to give you many new experiences. Go there when you’re in Philly.
The food at Fine Palate is absolutely amazing! If you're a foodie, I highly suggest trying this place out. Vince is a wizard! I really love his tasting menus!
The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere where you can dine and enjoy your time with friends and family.
The staff are very friendly and welcome you like family.
If you want unique high quality food & drink's, reasonable price with friendly staff... I highly suggest this place!
Fine Palate is a hidden gem! This warm and welcoming restaurant serves creative American cuisine that is always delicious. It’s one of my favorite haunts, be it for a cocktail and a snack (their happy hour is great), a Friday night, or a special occasion. It never disappoints.
One of the best meals in the city chef Vince is the man
Fine Palate is without a doubt one of the finest hidden gems of the city. Chef Vince Joseph prepared some of the finest cuisine I have ever had in the city of Philadelphia. His servers are second to none. Mike, in particular gave us exceptional service and recommended plates that were perfect for our palate. He also recommended a bottle of wine that paired perfectly with everything on the table. If you want perfection and interesting dishes , make sure to pay them a visit
Dropped in and were redirected by their Happy Hour $1 oysters. 5 star food (farm fresh) and 5 star 6 service made us wonder why we hadn't been here before. The oysters were fresh...fresh...fresh....and delicious. Cocktails sophisticated and well executed. The burratta like a dream on our fine palate. Foraged mushrooms and Japanese pork made us wish we were hungrier. Come to think of this, if you crowd this place, leave a table open for us.
