Palate Restaurant & Lounge Strongsville

The first thing about this place that ranks it 4 stars is the service. Our waiter was very good, but I believe at least three other waiters chipped in at different times. They did it very naturally and relaxed. They did a really, really good job. They were really good about finding stuff for my picky daughter to eat. This was the second time that I've been there. The last time was about a year-and-a-half ago. I can't recall the particulars, but somehow I remember enjoying that meal more than I did this meal in terms of food quality. Not that what I had this time was bad, but my favorite collections of my prior meal was that that meal was better. The last last time I was there, I believe I had a sampler of ravioli that was great. This time, my wife and I shared small plates of a Carbonaro and pork Bolognese. Both were... Good good but not great. The Carbonari​was a bit undercooked for my liking and The Bolognese was pretty ordinary though the noodles were delicious. Preferred the meatballs which I thought were great, especially the ricotta meatball. Very good meatballs. Overall, the food was good, but was better the last time I was there. Both times the service has been As Good As It Gets.
