New York location

[edit]

In 1988, Palmer opened Aureole in a townhouse on East 61st Street in NYC. In 2009, Palmer moved Aureole to One Bryant Park on the first floor of the Bank of America Tower.

Las Vegas location

[edit]

In 1999, Aureole opened at Mandalay Bay Resort on the Las Vegas Strip. The 9,000-square-foot (840 m²) location featured a four-story, 10,000-bottle wine tower viewable from the walkway at the entrance of the restaurant. Upon selection of a bottle, a silver catsuit-clad Wine Angel straps herself into a pulley system and floats up the tower, selecting bottle and then descends — often with a twirl. The location would close in 2023.

Awards and accolades

[edit]

A 1991 The New York Times review wrote, “In today's economy, Aureole may be a place that is frequented only on special occasions. If you are lucky enough to go there, though, special it should be.”^[7]

The NY location was awarded one Michelin star by the Michelin Guide from 2006 until 2018.

The Las Vegas location was awarded one Michelin star by the Michelin Guide from 2008 until 2009
