By evening, the lounge transforms into a wine lover's paradise, offering a robust selection of bottles and bar bites. At Palato Kitchen, sip Italian-inspired cocktails at our central bar while watching chefs work behind our open exhibition-style kitchen—bringing every dish to life before your eyes.
