Attention everyone considering Palatte for Brunch....
Don't listen to these haters. Palatte has great food and excellent atmosphere. It can be congested on weekends, but if you're prepared to take it easy, Palatte is a great option for brunch.
This being said, Here's the reason it's not a 5 in my book:
Pigeons (yes, pigeons.) Unfortunately the pigeons found palatte in a previous life when they were slow to bus tables and are as hooked on the deliciousness as we are. Short of creating a new mascot (dead pigeon) and hanging it above the entry way, there really is no way to completely eradicate the pigeons, but they do a great job of pre-busing tables so there are far less pigeons than before. I had the Bev and French Toast this morning and only saw 2 pigeons.. Way to Go Palatte!
