The Best Restaurants In Park Slope - New York - The Infatuation

"If you want to eat Latin food and enjoy a party-like atmosphere, go to Bogota Latin Bistro. For something a little more calm and upscale, try Palo Santo. This Latin/Caribbean restaurant is on the bottom floor of a brownstone, and its wood-covered, low-key interior is perfect for anyone who always complains about loud restaurants. The big, arched windows, exposed brick walls, and plant-filled patio will make you feel like you're on vacation, and we love their tacos and ceviche.

Palo Santo Review - West Midtown - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"Named after a tree venerated for its healing properties, Palo Santo brings the flavors of wood-smoked cuisine to the Westside. The dimly lit dining area is one room with furry lighting fixtures that remind us of Cousin It. Just a little. The menu features a blend of Japanese and Mexican cuisine, which is perfectly represented in their hamachi tostada, a mix of dry miso, uni, and hamachi with burnt avocado and charred serrano yuzu mayo on top of a crunchy tostada. Dinner options like tlayuda, poblano rice, and grilled octopus are paired well with their P.S. Margarita and other tequila-based cocktails." - Juli Horsford

The Best Places To Eat Outside In Park Slope

"Maybe you’re just looking for a laidback patio where you can do something other than tolerate the screaming sounds of children after 5pm. That’s when you should head to Palo Santo. This Latin restaurant inside of a brownstone on Union Street has a few sidewalk tables where you can eat things like fish tacos, anticuchos, and picante de mariscos. If you’re not ready to commit to a full dinner here, you can stop by their weekly taco pop-up at Haylard’s Bar in Gowanus every Friday from 4-9pm." - nikko duren

Palo Santo Review - Park Slope - New York - The Infatuation

"If you want to eat in a brownstone in Park Slope, but your friend’s 5:30pm dinner time with his kids isn’t ideal, check out Palo Santo. The Latin/Caribbean menu changes often, but usually includes things like ceviche, tacos, and slow-cooked pork. You can also eat in the small backyard when it’s nice out." - Matt Tervooren

I went to Palo Santo for a friend’s birthday brunch, and wow—I was seriously blown away by how delicious the food was! They offer a bottomless brunch, and we went with the sangria, which was super flavorful and refreshing. Definitely appreciated that it wasn’t watered down like some other places. The space itself is cozy and intimate—yes, it’s a little tight, but it adds to the charm. What really stood out to me was the service. The staff was incredibly attentive and kind, making sure we were taken care of throughout the entire meal. Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely incredible. My entrée was bursting with flavor, seasoned to perfection, and cooked just right. I couldn't stop raving about it. Of course, I had to sneak a few bites of my friends’ plates, and everything I tried was just as good. You can tell the kitchen puts a lot of love and thought into each dish. This spot is definitely a hidden gem in Brooklyn. I’m already looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu. If you're looking for a flavorful brunch with great vibes and service, Palo Santo is a must. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Yes yes yes, this is the spot. I did the tasting menu, heart of palm salad, steak and almond cake. All of it was out of this world. The sangria was delish and on top of that the staff was incredibly attentive and sweet. Highly Recommend!!!

We had an outstanding experience at Palo Santo! Not only were the staff very friendly and attentive, but the food was amazing. They have a very unique menu and the atmosphere there is so warm and inviting. Everything we had was remarkable, but specifically the Mofongo, the ceviche and the duck were notable. Everything was beautifully plated. The berry crisp and Meyer lemon pie were also outstanding.

An intimate and cosy gem. Add to that our server was fun and had good recommendations. Each dish was tasty and perfectly paired with the wine.

Palo Santo and Jacques are the best!!! We had a fantastic experience with them catering everyone at our wedding celebration this past spring. People were raving about the food, especially the freshly made tortillas. 10/10 their food is great!

We happened to find this place back in 2020 for brunch and have continued to have it on our regular restaurant rotation. We have loved it so much over the years, that we had our wedding ceremony there last year! The staff and food are truly amazing here. They deserve all the 💐💐💐

Ended up checking this spot out in July 2024. Restaurant week was going on and we were surprised at how great the deal was. Three course meals $45 per person that included one entrée one appetizer and a dessert. We had never been here heard of this spot before, but my brother recommended to check it out. He didn’t steer us wrong. All the food came on time. The service was super friendly. The staff was knowledgeable and everything tasted amazing.would definitely recommend anyone to come here and check it out for themselves. We tried a little bit of everything since it was a group of five of us. So we got to taste five different appetizers, five different entrées and for the desserts. I think they just had to offerings at the moment. But they were really delicious.

Love. Love. Love! The food here is remarkable. I was really impressed with their entrees and desserts, which we got from their three course prix fixe menu for $49 per person. I was able to try two of each set as I shared. APPETIZER - Yellowfin Tuna Ceviche (4/5) & Grilled Calamari (3/5) The ceviche was a nice sour. The calamari, on the other hand, was bitter in some random bites (not sure what was making it bitter). ENTREE - Pato En Mole Poblano (5/5) & Grass Fed Skirt Steak (4/5) The pato (duck) was soo tender and well cooked. The poblano tasted amazing with the duck. Just no words. Meanwhile, the skirt steak was good but doesn't top the duck in terms of tenderness and flavor. It comes with yuca fries and queso sauce. Dessert - Coconut Tres Leches (5/5) & Chocolate Pecan Bread Pudding (5/5) Both the bread pudding and tres leches were equally and highly impressive. If they made a bakery or dessert shop, I would seriously visit every day. I also like the small request for feedback when you pay at the end. You can compliment the food, workers or make a small note of what could be better.

Restaurant week menu2025Feb experience: Great place for intimate dinner! Open kitchen so be prepared to smell like beef hahaha, love the service and friendly people working. A bit underwhelming for the appetizers, we each ordered the grilled calamari salad and caldo gallego white bean soup, loved the kale in the soup and good flavor, lots of beans. Calamari is grilled extra and some are extra charred i didn't mind, but could be a greener salad there. Small bathroom with sink outside but it was cute the door was very long and handle was low. The entree was skirt steak super yummy grill flavor and i love a chimmichurri, and a lil bit of tomatoes and the patatas bravas was crispy. My mofongo was ok, on the clumpy and dry side with hot sauce flavored shrimps(sofrito picante), i can appreciate the head-on shrimp for extra flavor but i thought it was a bit too cooked thru. Sorbet was deliciously fresh ripe yellow small guava flavor, and the tres leche texture was ok but the coconut chips and the cream on top was yummy.

Palo Santo is a quaint establishment located in a Brooklyn brownstone that serves Pan Latin Cuisine. It is walking distance from the R train at Union Street, & from other eateries that include Rana Fifteen, Dinosaur BBQ, etc. Congratulations to Palo Santo on their 18th Anniversary! Friendly service & good vibes have always been present at Palo Santo. We visited one day during a "Restaurant Week " event & never looked back - lol. Wooden tables & chairs , casual decor & indoor / outdoor dining area all things that make up Palo Santo. You can view hardworking staff preparing & bringing wonderful looking dishes to patrons for dinner & during their brunch service. Palo Santo promotes their long-standing special 3 Course Dinner - ($49 )- includes an appetizer, entree & dessert. The first time hete we had a 3 Course-Dinner - we both had the Mushroom Quesadilla Appetizer, the Skirt Steak w/ Bok Choy & Potatoes Entree & shared a Tres Leches & Papaya Sorbet for dessert. Boy, was everything delicious! Every dish & the service was so good that we have returned numerous times and have had other marvelous cuisin. A 3-Course Meal for $49 is a great price & they give nice-sized appetizer & entree portions. Palo Santo is consistently fantastic. Website - www.palosantorestaurant.com Instagram - @palosantobk Brunch Service - Sat. & Sun. - 10am - 3pm. Dinner Service - Mon. - Thurs. - 6pm - 10pm, Fri. - 6pm - 11pm.

I came in with a group of friends on a saturday for brunch. We had a reservation, and it seemed quite full, so I would consider making one for brunch. They offer indoor and outdoor seating and a pre-fixe brunch menu. We sat outside and started with the bottomless mimosas for the table. Their bottomless limit is only 60 minutes though! The bread they brought out for the table was like a bread/muffin hybrid texture? I cannot explain it, but it had a lightly sugared/browned top and edge and was slightly sweet. It was very unique and we all really enjoyed it! We also had the fish tacos, bean and cheese pupusas, huevos banados, the omelette of the day, and the potato hash. Everyone enjoyed their food and we left happy and full to head to an event nearby!

My manager and I often dine after spending a day together, and he prefers to stay in a hotel in Park Slope due to ease of getting anywhere in NY and for the huge abundance of good places to dine. I chose this place because it seemed different from some of the other local places. I believe I picked a winner. I arrived 1st, and there was no one in the restaurant at first. The chefs called someone, and the evening began with the hostess, waiter, and customer service person Katie, who was the tip of our great dining experience. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and perfect hostess. I felt her friendliness, and she took it to a higher level. I wanted to play a joke on my managers arrival, and she went along with it. He arrived, and we had a good laugh. After we sat down, I asked, and she gave me her suggestions on appetizers and main meals. I went with both and was not disappointed. I usually don't eat everything, but last night was different. I ate everything. I saw they had 4 choices of Uruguaian wine, amongst and nice selection of wines from different Spanish regions. She described the characteristics of each wine. We decided to go with the Tannat Akardia. We enjoyed the wine very much and even thought it matched with the pulpo (octopus) we had as an appetizer. We also ordered the shaved Brussels sprouts as an appetizer. We we very pleased at both. For dinner, we got the swordfish and the Pato (duck), both of which Katie recommended, and we enjoyed. Normally, we never have dessert, but with Katie's personality, we could not resist and had the bread pudding. We had a very nice dining experience here, and my manager even made a note on returning to dine again! The glue to pur experience was truly Katie for her professionalism and her wonderful personality!!!

I hosted my sister's bridal shower at Palo Santo and cannot recommend it enough! We had the back room and garden to ourselves and it was perfect for that kind of event. The food was fantastic and the service was amazing. Pros: - Amazing food - Amazing staff - Unlimited drinks - Bathroom right by the back room so it was basically a private bathroom - Beautiful backdrop in the big doors and the garden - Free to decorate how we wanted and they let us in early to set up - Very communicative throughout the whole process. Things to note for your own event: - The garden is smaller than it looks. Still a special surprise for the venue but maybe six people can sit out there comfortably. We put gifts out there and let people mingle in and out for photos. - The stairs up to the garden are so steep, so just be careful and it's not usable for older guests. - Food comes out family style and quick, so less table decorations are better so there's room for the good stuff- the food! - the max capacity is 36 people, but we had 30 and it felt maxed out. I think 25-30 people is a more comfortable number for that space. I'd highly recommend this venue just for a meal or especially for an event! Thank you Palo Santo!!

- the mimosas stay flowing during the bottomless brunch - they let you stay more than the advertised 60 minutes - the steak was seasoned very well - they give lots of potatoes - I liked the bacon - I love the homemade hot sauce - I love the brownstone facade - staff is very attentive they are kind of aloof tho, they made mistake on our bill on two separate occasions - platano relleno was delicious

Came here this weekend while we went to see a family member run in the New York Marathon. Every other place we walked past was packed so we thought we were lucky to find a place that didn't have a wait. We didn't want to drink for brunch, though they did have a bottomless option. There was only the option of a pre-fix brunch. We thought it was over priced at $30. Most of the options weren't worth it, like the pupusas, veggie quesadilla or the tacos. You got a non-alcoholic drink with the meal but for $30 for brunch it was just a lot. I went with the Steak & eggs option. I asked for my eggs to be poached, the yolk was cooked through and not great. The steak was gritty and stringy. The chimichurri sauce was too vinegar heavy. The potato's were sad. Honestly it was all sad, nothing had any type of seasoning on it. Not even salt or pepper. From when it was sat in front of me I thought it looked good but it went down hill from there. The Hibiscus Aqua Fresca was the drink option I went with my meal and it was amazing! Super fresh and perfectly sweetened. Great but not worth coming back for.

Went here during restaurant week for their 3-course dinner option with a group of friends. Watermelon Feta salad, Sweet Plantain & Grilled Swordfish and Tres Leches was on the menu for me. Portions were well-sized, and food was actually quite good. From the freshness of the salad, to the hearty flavorful seafood entree, to the cherry on top- the Tres Leches, I had a great meal. Service was prompt and the interiors were great. Enjoyable meal and experience!

I've run by this place so many times over the years and then finally... I took the opportunity to go. Loves: + Honestly I felt like everything was pretty good, from the mole poblano to the quesadilla. They used a thicker cheese in the latter so it was interesting but also yummy + There's street, indoor, and patio dining! I probably like the back patio the best bc it felt like our own private space for awhile. There's only a four-top and two two-top tables + Friendly staff + No drinkies this visit but that gives me something to look forward to for a future visit One thing to note is the reservations might look out online, but you can most likely do a walk-in for a party of two easily, even on a weekend night.

Came here for our anniversary dinner and had a wonderful dining experience. Our server Maria was very knowledgeable and was extremely friendly, especially to our third wheel (our toddler daughter). The food was fantastic - I always appreciate when the chef picks high quality ingredients and let's them shine throughout the menu in different ways. Favorites from our meal were the mussels and marrow (excellent flavors, sauce had a lot of brightness), hamachi tiradito (cuts of fish were buttery tender with a yummy spicy sauce pairing) and the cauliflower side (roasted to perfection with a nice sweetness from the miso glaze/goat cheese). Will definitely be coming back!

We experienced a culinary oddity tucked away in a small restaurant on Union St in Brooklyn. From appetizers to main courses, there was an explosion in your mouth of flavor, taste,happiness with every morsel. If you could believe it, the old world atmosphere made you feel warm and cozy. Service was impeccable. All I can say is book your reservation now.

Great spot for hosting private dinner parties! I recently attended a dinner celebration at Palo Santo -- the host had a Saturday night reservation for a party of 10+. We were able to use the entire backroom for a reasonable fee. The preset menu featured many of the restaurant's signature dishes, and had decent options for vegetarians/vegans. All of the appetizers and entrees are served family style, I was able to try the vegetarian tostada and the plantain stew and was a fan of both! What truly topped the night was the dessert at the end, each guest was given a plate with a slice of tres leches cake. It was sweet, moist, and a cherry on top to a lovely dinner. Looking forward to trying out their regular menu soon!

Amazing neighborhood vibes, what a hangout spot! Outdoor patio vibes are top notch given cute sign and brownstones surrounding.

Best thing we had by far was the hot chocolate, which was deliciously spiced and hit the spot. The food was okay, wouldn't exactly recommend. I had the chimichurri steak and eggs; chimichurri sauce was too vinegary and steak was too chewy, although the eggs were cooked well. Portion size is a bit on the smaller side but it'll fill you up.

Celebrated my birthday here with a bunch of friends this summer and I cannot say enough how great the experience was. For our party of 24, we had the entire space to ourself for 3 hours and served bottomless mimosas/sangria/beer/wine and a 3-course family style meal. We got the pupusas, French toast, and chilaquiles with the rice/beans, yuca fries and maduros. A fruit/bread appetizer and tres leche were also included. Everything was absolutely delicious, we even asked for a few more servings (which they so graciously provided). They played bad bunny the whole time and made sure our glasses were never empty, honestly just a great experience. Definitely recommend for a group brunch/dinner for something a little more special.

love this neighborhood spot tucked cozily away in a brownstone right on union street. The menu is changed daily, which is a sign they are using fresh ingredients and being creative with what they got. While sometimes this can result in your favorite dish having an "off night," most of the time, the food is done extremely well. And the prix fixe menu is a steal. Most highly recommend Palo Santo!

Cute place in park slope with unlimited brunch option. Ordered the coconut French toast and steak with eggs. Both decent. French toast was a big soggy and steak was over cooked but would go back and try something else. Backyard only has three tables and reservations do not apply to that area but there is also seating outside in the front of the restaurant on the side walk.

Food was delicious - brunch menu. No liquor license so cocktails were limited to mimosas and wine which was not a problem for us but you are out of luck if you want a bloody mary. Service was attentive but not rushed. Vibe was very chill. Definitely would return for brunch and will be back to sample their dinner menu.

Had a reservation for 6:15 pm on a Wednesday for a dinner date and it was hilariously unnecessary because the restaurant was empty until about 7:00 pm for a birthday celebration in the back room and another couple came in later. We had the prefix dinner menu that came with an appetizer, entree, and dessert for $47? If you're planning on getting an app and entree, do the prefix because valueeeeeeee. We got the ceviche, quesadillas, duck mole, plantains with ground meat, pana cotta, and coconut tres leches cake. All was delicious. The duck meat in the mole was super tender and flavorful while the cake a was super way to end the meal. I'll definitely be coming back to try other things on their menu!

Palo Santo is a Park Slope GEM! They have been serving delicious food in a lovely space on Union Street for more than seventeen years! We've enjoyed Thanksgiving meals there twice. The first time was our first pandemic Thanksgiving! Great food, lots of space between tables and very happy diners! During the pandemic they delivered amazing dinner for two-(2 appetizers, 1 huge entree that we ate for days and the best desserts! All of that for $60 and your tip went to their staff via Venmo! Palo Santo was sending meals to our heroic doctors and nurses at Methodist Hospital and patron's could donate towards those meals! Palo Santo loves the Park Slope community. Go eat there!

We had a perfect evening at Palo Santo. We arrived at opening (6pm) 45 min early for our res and we're seated right away. A heat lamp overhead, on our side, and complimentary blanket kept us super toasty. Perfect for covid wary diners in the winter. We chose their prix fixe option- app, entree, dessert for a fixed price... the food was amazing! Come hungry as the portions are large! The Tempranillo we had was excellent as well. The pacing of the courses was perfect. loved their disco lights and music too. :) Palo is a vibe!

The food and experience here are so exceptional!!! I came on a whim with my boyfriend for date night and we loved it all. The vibes were lovely, the service was so friendly, and the food was great. For appetizers, we got the chayote salad & hearts of palm, as well as the tortillas + avocado. Shockingly, the tortillas + avocado were our favorite -- the tiny tortillas were so delicious and warm and fresh, and perfect with the avocado. The hearts of palm and chayote salad were also exceptional, though the latter was a bit sweet. For main courses we got the duck mole and the plantain coconut curry. Both were so great. The duck was just seriously amazing -- it was literally falling off the bone it was so tender, and the mole was the perfect flavoring. I ordered a second round of tortillas to sop up the mole and duck and that was frankly a great call that I recommend everyone do. The curry was also delicious, I loved how it was served and the coconut rice it came with was the perfect accompaniment. We finished with the lime pie and the tres leches cake, both of which were great -- not too sweet and really delicious.

Went to Palo Santo for Sunday brunch and had a great time. The brunch prices are great, you get a drink and entree for $24. I got the Huevos Bañados which was delicious and had the right amount of spice. It's a nice/different take on an eggs Benedict. My friends ordered the egg sandwich and the French toast. I tried a bite of both and the egg sandwich was very plain, but the French toast was amazing. I don't usually go for sweet things for brunch but it was so light and not too sweet. Very cute restaurant with both front and back outdoor spaces.

It's very cool looking from the outside. Enter into a cozy heavy vibe. The food is very rich but not worth it. Go somewhere else. Don't waste your money here. Stay with the place you know has actual great food for the price.

Interesting food, reliable food, perfectly relaxed environment, friendly service. I wish I lived closer so I could come more often as it would be a great neighborhood spot
