Palette Reopens With A New Look And Menu Items
By David L. Slone-
Thursday afternoon, the Kosciusko Chamber of Commerce celebrated Palette’s reopening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
General Manager Marino Mendez said, “The difference now is we moved the dining room to the front. A lot of people know this space over here, we used to use it for banquets and private meetings. So now we moved the dining room over here (to the entrance) so that way when people walk in to the restaurant, they should be right at the restaurant.”
Where the dining room used to be in the back is now space for private meetings and banquets.
He also talked about the new menu they have now as well.
Some of the dishes are holdovers from when the restaurant used to be Bennigan’s, including the turkey and swiss and the Monte Cristo sandwich.
“And we kind of integrated some Mexican dishes, and we also kept some of the Italian dishes that they used to have when it was Bella Vitale,” Mendez said. “We still have appetizers and stuff because we still have the bar side as well.”
He emphasized that Palette, 2521 E. Center St., Warsaw, is open to the public, not just to guests of Wyndham Gardens.
“We serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. We start opening at 7 a.m. and then we close at 2 p.m. We take a break for two hours, and then we reopen at 4 until 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Right now, we’ve been closing on Sundays because we’re short staffed. Nobody wants to work on Sundays,” Mendez said.
He hopes to reopen on Sundays in December when the Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts presents its Christmas show “The Sound of Music.”
A family restaurant, Palette originally opened in 2018.
“We made some changes after the fire. It’s open for the community. I hope you guys can come in and try some of the food,” Mendez told the Chamber staff and ambassadors before the ribbon-cutting.
