Visited on 11/28/2025 for Happy Hour. This was a great night to go here. The happy hour menu has great options to choose from, with some standouts being their black bean hummus and their jerk chicken skewers. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very nice and moody, with amazing art all over to see. Their custom cocktails were tasty as well, with the Ceramics and Sculptures being a nice and sweet option. The employees were all so friendly, a credit to the manager, Scott Bogue, who stopped by table to make sure everything was okay. Our server, named Josue, was very attentive and friendly to our needs and the food came out in a timely manner. The small plates led us to getting a lot of food and the prices for the happy hour drinks led us to get a lot of drinks, which we were not disappointed by. The Crispy Shrimp Tacos and Fried Chicken Sliders were also really great, as well as an unexpectedly delicious crispy Brussels sprouts. This is a place I would definitely come again due to the amazingly positive experience I had.

I loved this place the food the atmosphere the pricing everything was perfect. My friends and I visited for weekend to reconnect and we were not disappointed. 8 of us did the bottomless brunch and it did not disappoint. The black bean hummus is legit the best I have ever had. The taco bar was delicious and mimosas did not disappoint. It’s a must stop every time.

Pallete 22 didn’t invite us to brunch. It ambushed us. We walked in cute and optimistic… and walked out six hours later looking like survivors of an all-you-can-eat Renaissance festival. 🍽 The Unlimited Brunch Situation They have a taco bar, a waffle bar, PLUS you can order off the menu like you’re on some sort of culinary power trip. Our server was determined to test our limits — bringing out plates like he had a personal vendetta against our waistlines. At some point, I think I saw fear in his eyes because a few of us weren’t stopping. 😱 🍹 Bottomless Cocktails (a.k.a. “Poor Choices in a Glass”) Extra $$? Of course. Did we blink? Not even once. The pours were so aggressive I started hearing the truth leave my mouth unfiltered. By cocktail #3, I was ready to give a wedding toast for a wedding I wasn’t invited to, announce my mayoral campaign, adopt a cat, a dog, AND a houseplant I will absolutely kill in 48 hours. 🎨 Paint & Sip — Where Dreams Go to Die and Art Goes to Suffer We came in ready to paint masterpieces. Cute ones. Frameable ones. Instead, we created visual crimes of passion — art that looks like it needs therapy more than we do. The vibe? “Priced at $40k in a Brooklyn gallery where no one understands it but everyone pretends they do.” People will squint, tilt their heads, and lie through their teeth: “Oh wow. . . . . .so deep". ⏳ Six Hours Later… We laughed, we ate, we drank, we painted, we judged our own paintings, we questioned our life choices — and honestly? It was everything. Pallete 22 swept us into its atmosphere, indulged us like honored guests, kept our glasses full with the enthusiasm of a confident host, and sent us home with artwork that will forever spark conversation — and a few elegant laughs.

Just dined here with a friend and LOVED everything. Had Christian and Renee from the bar taking care of us and they were so attentive, gave great recommendations, and provided excellent service. My favorite tapas were definitely the funghi pizza, the jerk chicken skewers, brussels sprouts and cucumber. definitely coming back.

I tried this place recently and had a pretty good experience overall. The Dan Dan noodles were delicious (nicely spiced with a great crunch from the nuts and a satisfying balance of heat and flavor. On the other hand, the Cubano sliders were a bit underwhelming for me) smaller than expected and missing a bit of the punch I was hoping for. The service was extremely attentive, the staff came by quite often, which some might see as great attention to detail, though it felt a little over-frequent at times. Still, the food came out very quickly, which was perfect since I was starving. Overall, a pleasant meal with flavorful dishes, quick service, and attentive staff — I’d come back for the noodles for sure!

Food was great! Did the brunch with a couple of friends. Food was delicious, got to try bunch of different items! We had some1 name nat or something like that. Just needs a lil more customer service, s/he threw a whole fit base on her tip. Lil bro, needs a better job and get out her feelings, she said that couldn't cover her bills, like bro wants me to pay her water bill or what? Lol

Got the bottomless dinner and the food was amazing. The scallops were seared to perfection. Damian was such a good server, very attentive and answered all of our questions. I will definitely come back because of his great service!!

I ordered deliver through Uber eats. Had the pepperoni pizza. Chipotle chicken pizza and the maple garlic wings. Everything was very salty. The pepperoni pizza was decent. Chipotle one left much to be desired. I received 4 wings for $13 and no dip. Are yall serious? I've been to brunch here many times and I must say I am disappointed in this delivery.

Palette 22 remains one of my favorite brunch spots, hands down. While the DC location will always have a special place in my heart, this Arlington location absolutely holds its own -- and I'm always happy to come back. I'm definitely a regular. What I love most is the value. The food is affordable, flavorful, and consistently satisfying, which is not easy to find when it comes to brunch. The small plates format makes it fun to mix, match, and share, and everything comes out fresh and well-seasoned. This is the kind of place you can bring friends, linger over conversation, and actually enjoy yourself without feeling rushed or overcharged. The atmosphere is lively but comfortable, and it works just as well for a casual brunch as it does for a celebratory one. If you're looking for a reliable brunch spot that delivers on taste, price, and vibe, Palette 22 is always a solid choice. I'll continue to keep it in rotation.

First time here for something other than brunch and I like it. I like it a lot. This is only my second time having tapas but I really enjoyed this. Nothing was bad but the scallops and the steak did standout. The sliders were good also but if I had to order them, 1. Steak Skewers 2. Scallops 3. Wings 3. Port City Beer (tie) 4. Sliders 4. Sangria (tied) 5. Tuna Our waiter was very helpful and the rest of the waitstaff was very giving. We were getting all types of food we didn't order. For instance, I didn't order the steak skewers (the first time). They just brought them over. Guess I looked like someone that would like steak skewers. They weren't wrong tho! The first time I came was for Father's Day brunch (Thank you my child!). The buffet had so much on it and everything was so good that I couldn't wait to get back. It did take me a while to get back but I put myself on a dining budget so I had to wait a while but I'm going to increase my budget so I don't have to wait so long next time :-).

I love the overall concept of Palette 22. For just under $40, you get a delicious, multi-course dinner of phenomenal, flavor-packed tapas. It's perfect for almost any occasion and ideal for casual, family-style dining--which happens to be my favorite. The service is great, the food comes out quickly, and tables are cleared efficiently, making the whole experience feel smooth and well-paced. Everything tasted great! My standout dishes of the day were the Green Papaya Salad (GET THIS) it was so complex and juicy! i imagine it would be even better paired with crispy pork belly. The seared scallops were also very good. A solid go-to spot when you want variety, great flavors, and a fun dining experience.

A great place to have brunch. When you walk in there is an artist painting as well as there are little painting the have that you can look at that is for sale. The price for the brunch was very reasonable. What I like is that you can order everything from the menu but it's a sample size so you are able to have a taste of everything. There was also a taco and a waffle bar to enjoy with it. For a couple bucks more you can add either a mimosa or a Bellini with it. The service was great our waiter offered a great suggestions of what to try. No let me say if you are in a group since you are not able to share the buffet everyone at the table would have to order.

A lot going on in here- cool vibe. Artwork on the walls by locals-If Im not mistaken they are for sale. A plethora of food options. For one price you can try as many options on the menu as you choose. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the under cooked churros. Crunchy on the outside-undercooked on the inside. We also had pizza-the topping of the Mexican corn pizza was good-but the crust could have used more flavor. The texture and density were great-but slightly bland for the crust itself. I'd go back-

I've been here a few times for brunch, but this was my first time coming for lunch. I absolutely love the concept of a bottomless meal & I wish more restaurants did this. It's a great way to try everything on the menu so you can figure out your favorites. Here's a list of everything I tried. Seared scallops - These were cooked & seared perfectly. The sauces were a little overwhelming so for the second round I ordered them on the side so I could dip the scallops. Crispy brussels sprouts - Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite veggies. What makes these so good is the soy-chili honey and the sesame-almond granola. It's giving salty and sweet with a little crunch, which brings so much flavor and some texture to the dish. Marinated cucumbers - I enjoy cucumbers, but I wasn't expecting much from this dish. I was pleasantly surprised. It's like a little cucumber salad. The shoyu, tahini miso, and lime served as a light dressing. Very refreshing. Chicken curry empanadas - This dish was just ok for me. I think I was expecting more curry flavor. Pork & shrimp lumpia - I was introduced to lumpia in middle school and I've been eating it ever since. This was some solid lumpia and I'm glad that they added shrimp. Typically, you have to pick one or the other, at least that's been my experience. Spicy shrimp and pancetta brick oven pizza - This pizza alone was worth the trip. I could eat the crust drizzled in garlic butter by itself, but they didn't stop there. They topped the dough with meat, cheese, chilis, and a scallion pesto. Perfection. Pork belly bao buns - You can't go wrong with hoisin glazed pork belly wrapped in pillowy soft goodness. Butter chicken tikki masala - So much flavor in this little bowl. It's butter chicken, carmelized onions, roasted corn, & tikki masala sauce with some basmati rice hidden underneath. It was love at first bite. I would easily eat a full sized version of this dish. Chili shrimp tacos - I was getting full at this point, so I only had a few bites. Each mini taco has 2 plump shrimp with kung pao sauce on a bed of slaw topped with peanuts, radishes, & cilantro. A simple but yummy dish. Mocha parfait - I'm not a coffee drinker but I love a coffee dessert. This layered dessert had chocolate fudge cake, espresso mousse, chocolate ganache, & chantilly cream. It tastes as good as it sounds. In my opinion, chocolate & coffee is a winning combination. Lemon vanilla tres leches cake - Adding fresh berries & a hint of lemon was a nice twist on one of my favorite desserts. In the past, I've only had this dessert plain. The fresh fruit added some texture to the softness of the cake. I enjoyed both desserts but this was my favorite of the two. Well, that concludes another delicious Palette 22 visit. The only thing left for me to do is come back for dinner.

Whew, there's nothing like a great tapas restaurant w amazing décor, and tasteful music. I must admit, street parking ain't easy, but it's not impossible, and it's pretty affordable. Hubby and I first visited this place 2.2025. I located it on Yelp and thought it'll be great for brunch. I didn't even catch the part about the all you can eat EVERYTHING for$32 bucks, $4 for libations. It was a great visit. What did we enjoy? Everything! Literally everything !! Jerk Chicken Skewers, Brussels, Waffles, Tacos, Bellini, Mimosa, etc!! I returned 10.2025 solo, and this place continues to be magnificent. The service is always top tier. I ordered the brussels, chicken wings, and jerk chicken skewers and whew, they were amazing !! I highly recommend this place to everyone to visit at anytime. You will not be disappointed! There's attractive and creative art work throughout the restaurant. There was an artist near the front door during both visits. Great touch!!

Palette 22 is my favorite restaurant in the area. We've been for dinner, happy hour, and brunch, and we've loved everything we've eaten here. The menu fuses several different cultures into amazing dishes. We love to do the $38.95 all you can eat dinner. It's so worth the price, and we love everything on the menu. My favorites to start are the Brussels sprouts and crispy potatoes. The cheeseburger slides are sesame steak skewers are my favorite entree-type items. Really anything you order will be incredible. The atmosphere in the restaurant itself is also really cool! They have an artist painting on site and the walls are decorated with really cool works of art. Overall, we LOVE Palette 22. Can't wait to go back again soon!

First off Nicholas was a pleasure as our server. Reliable deliciousness! The southwest Caesar is a great starter for getting in the veggies before pigging out on the rest. The fungi pizza is by far my favorite of the pizza options. The winner of the sliders is the chicken one for me. My only issue with this most recent visit is that the chicken wings were way too salty. I count it as a fluke and hope you have the great experience this place is known for.

Cant believe I haven't reviewed this place yet! This is my top restaurant to bring people who have different food preferences. Everything on the menu is amazing for brunch or dinnner. Recently I went for Happy Hour, the menu is small but the price is right. They are really really small tapas for HH but I enjoyed ordering multiple things and multiple glasses of sangria. One thing that stood out from this time was I actually left my whole wallet on the floor by the bar. The restaurant called me to come pick it up, they were able to look me up in their reservation system to find my number! Im so thankful for the continued great service they provide and the best food!

I stopped by for dinner on a Thursday night with reservations. It was busy at first, but tables cleared out fairly quickly. They seem to crank out food impressively fast. There's outdoor seating, which is perfect for people-watching or bringing your dog. Parking, however, is an absolute zoo -- you'll need to hunt for street parking or use a garage. Customer service was great -- friendly staff who frequently stopped by to check if we needed anything. We ordered the bottomless dinner for $38.22 -- all you can eat (including desserts, but not drinks). The food comes out tapas-style in small plates, perfect for sampling and sharing. Everything came out quickly and fresh. Some highlights: Pork & shrimp lumpias - crispy and flavorful. Potatoes - light, fluffy, and a must-get. Garlic maple chicken wings - crispy with tons of flavor. Chili shrimp tacos - delicious with a nice kick. Seared scallops - large, juicy, and paired with a tasty sauce. Steak skewers - decent, well-cooked. Brussels sprouts - crispy and delicious. Empanadas - flaky and tasty. Parfait - just okay. Churros - slightly overdone but still enjoyable. The interior décor is artistic and beautiful, adding to the atmosphere. Overall, it was a good dining experience -- fast service, friendly staff, and plenty of variety to try.

Palette 22 was an absolute 10 out of 10 from start to finish. Our host was amazing and made us feel welcome right away. The food exceeded my expectations in every way -- everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully done. I highly recommend the shrimp and grits... hands down a must-order. We opted for the all-you-can-eat brunch and do not regret it at all -- incredible value and endless delicious options. The ambiance was amazing. Overall, an outstanding experience. I would definitely recommend and will absolutely be back.

Came here for the bottomless lunch and would love to be back for the bottomless breakfast!Overall most of the food here is very well executed and there is a plethora of cuisines to choose from. It felt like the chefs picked their favorite foods and created a menu -- which I love and would do the same. The standout was the P22 burger slider. I would come back just for this. The dishes I would not get again are because they're either way too salty OR the flavor profile just doesn't sit right and it'd be better to go with a tried and true ethnic sauce base i.e. the scallops had a bit too much going on with fish sauce, citrus, and tamarind? I think a standard Vietnamese seafood herb sauce would have done the job! Service was good and interior was comfortable! Great spot for a group of people to try different things. Get the: P22 burger sliders Steak chicken skewers Churros Chili shrimp tacos Dan Dan noodles Mushroom pizza Well executed but I don't care for: Pepperoni pizza Skip the: Tuna crudo Fried chicken slider Scallop Fried chicken wings (way too salty) Jerk chicken skewer (way too salty)

I've been to Palette 22 a few times for brunch but recently went for evening service. PARKING: Plenty. There are a few free parking garages nearby and a parking lot behind the restaurant. SERVICE: Service has always been great. Due to the tapas/bottomless setup and the server typically checks in to clear the table or put in more food orders. SETTING: I love the setup. It's adorned with art of local artists and at times you can see someone painting at the front of the restaurant. This time in particular, I loved a lot of of the choices they had on the wall. FOOD: I had a lot more than what's listed below but these were the the dishes that yielded additional commentary. HOUSE-MADE SIENATIRE SANGRIA RED |WHITE For the bottomless price these were 5.22 each and were really enjoyable. I wanted a sweeter drink so I got the white sangria. Very good complement to everything. SOUTHWEST CAESAR My friend enjoyed this but didn't expect it to be a full size portion. CRISPY CRIOLLA POTATOES These were really good with a surprising texture. Crispy outside with somewhat of a mashed potato inside. P22 CHEESEBURGER SLIDERS They may rotate their menu but this is always a staple item. The slider is really delicious with the absolute favorite getting the sauce. TUNA CRUDO Crudo can be hit or miss but this was seasoned well. Would order again SEARED AJI SCALLOPS* This was another fave, considering our meal was inexpensive, I thought this was a really nice treat. Cooked perfectly and every ingredient complemented each other. **SWEETS** DARK CHOCOLATE MOUSSE This was the biggest standout. I'm not a dark chocolate person and my friend doesn't really care for mousse. He was expecting a basic pudding and this was so much more. It had so much flavor and was sweeter than I thought. With it being dark chocolate I thought it would be bitter and I was pleasantly surprised. OVERALL - We loved nearly everything we tried, we loved that some portions were generous though we didn't want to waste anything because you are eating a ton of food. Pace yourself for sure. I return repeatedly and have never been disappointed.

We come to this place often. And it does not disappoint because the standard quality for food and service is always great. We love their bottomless option as we can try everything and enjoy a laid back environment. Most tapas come with 2 servings/pieces. They pizza is quite big for tapa style. Happy Hours are awesome as you can sit at bar and share a tapa. Make a reservation ahead, as there were a few times we came and had to wait and no tables were available.

Arrived an hour too late for brunch. Brunch ended at 3pm and 4pm on Sundays...NOTED! So we opted for the bottomless dinner which consisted of unlimited tapas. We tried a little bit of everything. I really enjoyed the brussels and Mexican street corn. I also enjoyed the pepperoni pan pizza after pulling off the pepperonis lol As well as my Blueberry Mojito. The hubs enjoyed his options as well. Will definitely venture back for brunch. The menu is interesting as they offer a variety of options from Mexican, Mediterranean and Asian fusion dishes. Service was great. The bartender who also waited on us was on point with her service even though she manned the bar as well as the tables that were around the bar area. I was certainly impressed. Definitely give this place a try!! Happy Yelping!

One of the only places with unlimited brunch where all the food items tasted good. My favorite was the khao soi empanada and French toast with cornflakes as the crust. In addition, the chicken sliders was spicy and juicy, lumpia with shrimp and pork was crispy, pupusa was cheesy, the sausage biscuit was hearty, and pizza was tasty. I also tried the chicken skewers (not pictured) and they were juicy. Now, I wouldn't recommend the agua Fresca because it's very watered down to what I'm normally used to. Needed way more watermelon in it to stand out. Service was pretty quick and there's plenty of seating inside (would still recommend to get reservation if going on a busy weekend). Parking is also solid. Inside, there's plenty of art you can look at and also purchase I believe.

This place rocks. There were 4 of us and we got the bottomless brunch! Everything was so so good. We ended up getting 20 plates and visited the taco bar multiple times The beef and lamb tacos were delicious - try the lime crema! Brussel sprouts, shrimp and grits, Mexican corn, curry empanadas, cucumber salad, jerk chicken, cheeseburger slider (with pimento cheese and fried onion straws), and Szechuan sausage and biscuit - all killer. The fried chicken sliders were good, but not excellent like everything else. For dessert we had churros, monkey bread, pancakes (with just the right amount of vanilla), and fresh fruit. We left with a little bit of pain in our stomachs but a smile on our face and the pride of leaving no food on the table. Seriously incredible. They need to open a place in Tacoma, WA!!

Dinner at Palette 22 last night made our trip to Alexandria, VA very special. Parking was very easy, parking garage 2 blocks away and beautiful weather. We chose to sit outdoors which worked out fine. Our waiter Ernesto could not have done more. Exceptional service here. All the dish (and we sampled 6) were enjoyed by four of us. To describe each dish would take forever, so go to Palette22 and explore! We look forward to a return visit. Don't forget to checkout all the art hung around the dining room, very impressive-a lot of talented local artists on display.

The Great: The P22 Cheeseburger Sliders are amazing as before. Crispy onions add a nice texture to the bite. Service was excellent. The Good: Seating not available except the bar, but that just means they were busy for a Sunday lunch. The Not so Good: The water tasted like dishwater. I've had sodas have the same taste here before. The bar tender was making red drinks above the sink which held the ice. Those drinks were dripping down into the community ice. Our server then scooped the same ice out of the sink using the drinking glass, not the scooper, to make our sodas.

Came here for dinner this time and sat at the bar. We opted for the bottomless option and we enjoyed the food more than we enjoyed the brunch last time. We loved the flavor of most things. Definitely recommend: Crispy Brussel Sprouts - loved the flavor and would recommend the sauce here be used for the Chilled Chilli Udon Noodles which lacked a little flavor Chili Shrimp Tacos Spicy Shrimp & Pancetta Pan Pizza The Dan Dan Noodles and Sesame Steak Skewers were very salty and while the flavor is there, the salt was a little too overpowering. The Butter Chicken Tikka Masala was okay and also leaned on the salty side but not bad. For dessert, the churro had great flavor but unfortunately was not cooked all the way, it was just a little underdone and gooey in the center. Service was good at the bar, some lags initially but picked up fine as we stayed.

Palette 22 is a late night small plates lover's dream. There are plentiful dining options with all being rather delicious including the deserts. Their endless dining option is the way to go if you're going to relax and take in the live painting while you dine. (The live painting also makes this an effortless solo dining option for those less comfortable dining by yourself). Our server consistently checked in with my dining guest and I. There's no doubt that I'll be returning back!

We came for the bottomless tapas dinner and it did not fail! I was expecting small bites but the serving size was large. We were a table of 4 which made everything shareable and allowed us to indulge on more variety without wasting food. The Sangria is the special with the food as it is a cheaper rate when paired with the unlimited tapas. If one person in your party wants the bottomless tapas, the entire party has to get it. Trust me, it's worth it. My favorites were the potatoes and the scallops. The potatoes were perfectly cooked with a crisp all around and moist center. The scallop was also cooked well and the addition of the mashed potatoes was a pleasant surprise to my taste buds. My least favorite was the pork belly bao and surprisingly the chicken wings. They both have the potential to be good but it was a bit salty for me. The saltiness overpowered the flavor. Very nice place, cool vibe, and great service. Will return.

Palette 22 is such a fun and unique spot! Located in the Village at Shirlington, this place combines art and food in the coolest way. While you enjoy your meal, you can look around and see arts all over the place. Bonus: the art on the walls is for sale if something catches your eye! The menu is full of globally inspired small plates, and everything is perfect for sharing. Some must-try dishes are the black bean hummus, crispy criolla potatoes, and jerk chicken skewers. They also have a bottomless dining option, so you can try as many dishes (and desserts!) as you want--perfect for a foodie adventure. The vibe is vibrant, lively, and full of energy. Whether you're out with friends, on a date, or just want to try something new, Palette 22 is a great choice.

Visited Palette 22 a few Sundays ago at noon and while it was busy we got seated quickly and even had a window seat, the space is quint but comfortable. Our waiter was sweet and prompt, we did the bottomless brunch and ordered a number of small plates, from southwest Caesar, monkey bread, shrimp and grits, French toast sticks, cheeseburger sliders, curry chicken empanadas, spicy fried chicken sliders, jerk chicken skewers and more. Everything was delicious, no complaints at all and came out quick and timely. We ended our meal with two orders of churros but the waiter forgot. So when we reminded him he got right to it and one order of amazing churros were brought out, but when asked the person who brought it out for the other order he acted like he couldn't. So we just told him not to worry about it. Other than that, our brunch was great! Will most certainly return.

First timer and was impressed. Decor featured local artist with their works for sale. Tables well spaced and cozy at the same time. We went for a birthday brunch. Brunch was priced well and tasty. We had Street corn, spicy chicken sandwich, chicken empanadas, shrimp and grits. Our waiter Natalie was patient and kind even when we complained about a dish not being hot. Servers kept the food coming and cleared then dishes just as fast. There's a few food options on that block but Palette 22 is a must!

A first for me but worth the drive! The Bottomless Dinner is back and delicious and nutritious! We really enjoyed having the variety of tasty tapas style food to choose from and without feeling overly stuffed. The hostess and the server, you know what how about the entire staff was wonderful and on point. Great customer service will definitely get my money and time. It was a little loud BUT it was during HH, so it was as live as expected and should stay live! The art all around was fun and swanky. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and wouldn't mind the drive to come back for another experience for great customer service and food.

The only thing I was disappointed in was not trying bottomless brunch! Welp, another reason to go back to this cute spot. Had brunch here and chose to do a la carte: monkey bread (yum), French toast sticks (yum), jerk chicken sewers (delish), spicy shrimp & pancetta pizza, and chipotle chicken pizza. Both pizzas were bussin (double yum). Although the atmosphere was very busy and loud, the waiter still took out time to explain how the brunch experience works. This restaurant serves small plates, so order more than one item if you're really hungry. Very good!

Our waitress Natalie was so nice! Palette22 is a favorite of mine, so I've dined here numerous times. Natalie told us to try the shrimp and pancetta pizza and it was AMAZING! The all you can eat brunch for $32 is such a great deal. Another surprising delicious bite was the Caesar salad, I didn't expect it to be that good. They'll be seeing me again and again!

I want to preface this review by stating that this restaurant could easily be 5 stars for someone else. While I enjoyed most of the food that I was able to eat, the menu didn't have the variety of breakfast dishes that I typically like to see on a brunch menu. It seemed more like a glorified version of their dinner menu. Most of their brunch specialty dishes contain pork. I really enjoyed the monkey bread & the French toast sticks. The curry chicken empanadas and the spicy chili crisp fried chicken sliders were great eats as well. There's also a waffle bar & a taco bar that you're able to walk up to as a part of their bottomless brunch. Service was good, too. Ordered the curry chicken empanadas, & they forgot to bring them out. But once reminded, our server had an order brought over to the table within a few minutes. Besides that, they were attentive and constantly checked in with my table. I like the vibe of this place a lot. They had an artist painting a piece in the front of the restaurant, which I thought was pretty dope.

Food: Beware that menu's differ between day and night. At night, they have a 'late night menu' which is shortened menu. All food items are small tapas/shareable plate sizes. Ambiance: Nice! At the bar, the tv's are usually playing various sports games. Sometimes there is a featured artist in the corner of the restaurant creating art that can be purchased. Light music can also be heard through the restaurant. In addition to indoor seating, the restaurant does have outdoor/patio seating.

I really enjoyed brunch. I like the small Plate concept. The service was attentive but not overbearing. The cost was $32.22 per person. I added on a brunch mimosa for $4.22. We tried: Street corn Chilled chili udon noodles Crispy Brussels sprouts - the standout dish Monkey bread Shrimp + grits French toast sticks Churros - standout dessert Pork & shrimp lumpia Looking forward to returning

Really fun and unique breakfast spot. It is a tapas place which I enjoyed but this does mean that things come as they are ready rather than all at the same time. The portion sizes are small so you can get a bunch of things and share which makes it filling and the prices are super reasonable. Flavor combinations are unique and everything tastes so good. I think the churros were my favorite, so crispy and sugary with a great sauce. I was a little disappointed about the pork biscuit because it didn't quite match my expectations but it was delicious. The biscuit was more of a flat bread and it wasn't a sandwich because it was open faced. I think that's the challenge with fusion food, it is a little different than expected. If you can be open minded it's great. The last thing I'll say is they didn't do a great job of organizing the seating. There was a group of 3 seated at the only 6 person table but there were a ton of 4 person tables that were empty. My group of 7 had to wait for the 3 to be done before we could sit even though a ton of tables were open. I would go back for sure.

This couldn't have been a better experience! I've been to Palette 22 plenty of times for their weekend bottomless brunch and they never disappoint but today felt extra special. They were filming their new October menu and we got a sneak peek! We even scored free mimosas and a gift card for a bottomless dinner for two. The vibe was perfectly chill yet still a little elevated, the service was fast and friendly, and the food.. so good! My personal must-orders: the shrimp & grits and the curry chicken empanadas. Definitely still my favorite brunch spot!

Good service, although a little hard to understand the server due to the volume and the server's accent. Expansive, but wish there were booths. Table/chair setup Water is brought out immediately, and their mocktails are really good. The blueberry and strawberry ones hit the spot. 8/10 The potatoes were delicious, seasoned, and served with a creamy sauce. 7.5/10 The Brussels were divine, and served with a great sweet and spicy chili type sauce. 9/10 The sliders were good (from my guest 7/10) The small dessert bites captured in the photo were ok. 5/10 The mango mousse was great. 9/10 Street parking and garage parking.

My husband and I came to Palette 22, located in Shirlington, on a Saturday during brunch time. When we arrived, the restaurant looked packed, but we were seated immediately. The ambiance was artsy, from the lighting fixtures to the local artwork displayed and for sale throughout the restaurant, which I enjoyed looking at. There was a vibrant yet sophisticated crowd. Our waiter was gregarious and professional. He explained the bottomless brunch to us. My diet is limited, and my husband nor I planned to eat a lot, so we just went with several small plates. Our food came out fast and hot. I had the Brussel sprouts and southwest Caesar salad. Both dishes were flavorful and very filling. My husband had the French toast and chicken sliders, and he was pleased with his food. We ended with the Churros, they were sooo good. We had a wonderful experience, the service and food were excellent. If I ever find myself in the Shirlington area again, I will definitely be back.

Palette 22 is one of those places I hold a little closer to my hidden gems. Far from MD but so worth the drive. The food has yet to disappoint anyone i've shown this place to. (I recommend the jerk chicken skewers) They have a bottomless dinner option for $38.99 All You Can Eat. (Tapas) They also offer a Brunch special, with a different menu, tasteful and has a lot of variety! This restaurant is also art inspired, selling all art on the walls and occasionally has a Live Artist. Parking is right behind the restaurant and is spacious.
