Initially, I was happy to find Palate so close to my home and was having dinner there frequently. However, I will not be returning because the Chef, Gary Menes, basically conducts himself as if he were just released from prison. After I spent over $300 on dinner and wine, Gary Menes pulled my date aside and told her next time she should come without me. Gary obviously has zero class and no respect for Palate's clientele. There are simply too many other great restaurants in Los Angeles, who will welcome you with open arms and treat you with the respect, to subject yourself to this kind of unprofessionalism.
Pros: Good Food
Cons: Unprofessionalism; No respect for clientele
