Temporary Cafe at the Phx Art Museum was Amazing! I believe her name was Dani.. provided a top tier experience and excellent service! She was so helpful and kind and answered all of our questions. We tried the caramel lattes, teas, caesar salad, and fruit - it was all really good!! Was sad to see the palette close, but now I'm excited for what is coming based on our recent experience. Looking forward to coming back again!!

We visited the Phoenix Art Museum April 19th. We visited the small restaurant way to the left of entrance in the back. Delightful. Great menu of foods, wine, and snacks. We actually sat outside on their small patio/courtyard. Plenty of tables and great ambiance. Three of us ordered Mango Iced Teas and one ordered an Arnold palmer. Great service from Nicholas who catered to our thirsty mouths. Polite, professional, and courteous. You can actually enter this Palette cafe from an outside alley way without going into museum. Highly recommend a visit here. while seeing the museum.

First time there and will definitely go back. We were outside on a perfect evening so it was quiet and peaceful. Service was excellent and gave us plenty of time to attend the theater next door. Food was innovative and delicious.

We had flourless chocolate cake-delicious! Didn’t like that we had to wait despite many many tables open.

Beautiful outdoor seating; the white roses are blooming. Excellent service. Th Guac appetizer and salmon dish were very good William Henry wines very nice, $2 off for happy hour makes them a bit more reasonable.

I've eaten here multiple times and consistently enjoy the ambience, food and excellent service. The food is creatively presented and always fresh and delicious. All of the servers are conscientious and kind, such a nice combination in a beautiful place.

We had a lovely bistro quality meal on Easter Sunday at Palette. The food was exceptional, fairly priced and we gobbled it all up. As a whole the waitstaff was extremely efficient and friendly. Our particular waitress left us waiting quite a while before coming to take our orders. We asked another of her colleagues to go and find her. The noise level in the dining room was so loud I had trouble hearing my lunch partner. But I repeat the food is exceptional, better than expected.

On vacation in Arizona, my wife and I visited the Phoenix Art Museum. After touring the impressive museum, we stopped for lunch at the museum's Cafe, called Palette. Palette is a wonderful little eating place that we would go to even if it was not attached to the Museum. It has an inside dining room, but with the perfect weather on that Wedneaday afternoon, we sat outside on their patio.I started with a glass of Mango Iced Tea, which was frankly a little watered. My wife had a signature cocktail called a Watermelon Sangria, my wife loved it, and the mixologist who creates the drink came out and explained the drink to usit started with Watermelon puree, and ended with sparkling wine.For lunch my wife had the Mushroom Tart. It was devine. Wild mushrooms, goat cheee, egg, sautéed kale, on the most wonderfully flakey crust.I had the Pecan Chicken Salad. It was delicious. Pecans, grapes, raisins, and nice sized pieces of Chicken, all on a nice grain bread.The service was very nice, and we were never left wanting for anything. One of the nicest lunches we've had in a while.

The best place to get a delicious and healthy dish in the area! It's a great place to stop and rest when spending the day enjoying the museum. Otherwise walk in off the street and have the same amazing experience eating on the beautiful courtyard patio or a view from inside. FULL BAR AVAILABLE, try the pomegranate margarita with a sugar rim!! ???Parking: Park in the middle of the main lot on the Northside of the building. Then head towards the theater, NOT THE ENTRANCE TO MUSEUM and there will be a pathway to the courtyard and restaurant. Don't hesitate to ask for assistance, there's always plenty of helpful staff to guide you.Wheelchair accessibility: Designated Wheelchair tables and booths inside and plenty of open seating on the patio. Accessibility ramp available in courtyard.

We have dined here before a number of times. The food is always the appropriate temperature, excellent flavour, and generous portions. I'm a gf person and the squash soup and chicken salad sandwich is my usual go to. Don't skip dessert! The vanilla gelato is awesome!

Seated promptly in shady area of patio. Waiter took a few minutes to check in however he also did not rush us. Good options and portions large. Meal was delivered in less than 10 minutes free m placing our order. Tasty food and reasonably prepared ced

This was my second visit to Palette. It is the perfect restaurant for a meal before a show at Phoenix Theatre. The staff, food, ambiance are excellent. My dining partners rave about the chicken salad sandwich. I like to try different things. This time had their grilled cheese. Yum. So happy we found this restaurant for our pre theatre dining.

Had lunch without visiting the museum. Very easy to manage. Food and beverage options and quality was good. Server was eager and attentive. Well on her way to professionalism. Pricing reasonable; surroundings very pleasant. Parking plentiful. Would return.

Very slow service today. Seems like everything took a long time to be delivered including the check that we asked for when the food arrived as we were attending the show. Unfortunately, we had to ask for it again. We have season tickets, and I don't think we wild be visiting here again before the show. Felt like we had to micromanage our whole experience.
On field trip love Dani she is soooo sweet
