We ate outside, lovely porch area overlooking the Elk Refuge. Sunny day, windy but still nice outside in August. This place is popular, get there early, we did. Food was good, I got game stew and grill cheese. Definitely tasty. My Husband got Chicken salad sandwich with a beet salad. Not a lot of beets, mostly lettuce. He said chicken Salad could use more chicken, less decorations.

Incredible! Lived here two years and Palate has been the best meal I’ve had here. We started with Game Stew and followed with local Trout & Chips with a side of Jo-jo’s potatoes. Fresh and gourmet, perfect meal. The patio is relaxing and breezy overlooking the beauty of the elk refuge. The staff was so attentive and kind. Quick service and no wait at the end of August for a late lunch.

Very charming lunch spot inside the National Wildlife Museum. Food is excellent, and with impressive service and atmosphere it is a must visit in the Jackson / Teton area.

Great food, wonderful service and an amazing view. Our friends who live here told us to visit the museum and that the food was great. I didn’t realize that the restaurant in the museum, Palate was operated by the Gather Restaurant Group. We had eaten a very nice meal a few days earlier at Gather in Jackson, WY so it’s no surprise that Palate also had great food and service.

This is probably the coolest, most unique spot I’ve ever had lunch at. I’m not even sure what to compare it to because it’s literally perfect. It’s max 10 minutes outside of Jackson Hole, but it’s totally worth the drive. The restaurant is located at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, which is a great experience itself that you can check out after lunch or while you wait for your table. You can either choose to sit inside or outside, and of course we sat outside. The patio view had me at a loss for words. It overlooks the Elk Refugee and mountains in a distance. The view itself is worth coming here. The menu is close second.

If you are in or around the Jackson area you must stop in! You will be greeting amazingly friendly staff in an beautiful setting inside and out surrounded by breath taking sights of nature and artwork! The food is delicious and freshly made. Portions are big enough to fill you up without being overwhelming large.

Make a reservation! This was a great option after landing at the airport with yummy food and access to the beautiful sculpture garden outdoors. Live music at times as well. Great way to kickoff a trip to Jackson Hole.
