    With the block party outside, Palette 22 was one of the many restaurants inundated with people on Cinco de Mayo evening. I was fortunate to find an empty spot at the packed bar. I couldn't get a real feel for the restaurant because of the crowds of people, but I did enjoy the artwork hanging in the bar area. They had $7 margarita specials, and I really should've ordered 2 because it was exactly what I needed. After devouring one order of chili shrimp tacos, I felt another was warranted. The taco shell was a bit inconsistent, soft in some parts and charred/crispy in others. The flavors were exceptional though, with the heat from the chili sauce paired with the shrimp and peanuts.

    SPICY SHRIMP & PANCETTA PIZZA  ARROZ FRITO CON HUEVOS
    Maria Gracias H.

    Okay, let's start with the highlight: $32.22 per person for bottomless brunch (including a waffle and taco bar) is actually quite reasonable. Since the menu is tapas-style, going à la carte can add up quickly--so definitely go for the bottomless option. Now, the food... it was just okay for me. And hey, everyone's entitled to their own opinion. Some dishes leaned overly salty specifically the dandan noodles, chicken skewers, and arroz fritos con huevos. If you're sensitive to salt just something to keep in mind. On the brighter side, the crispy Brussels sprouts were tasty (though a bit greasy), the lumpia was not bad, and the empanadas were delicious. The shrimp pizza was also enjoyable, just slightly salty for my taste. Service, unfortunately, was a bit slow. We were seated right away on the outdoor patio with our dog, which was great, but it took over 20 minutes to place our order. When a server finally came, she seemed surprised we had already ordered and mentioned there was confusion with server assignments. Another staff member came about 10 minutes later with water and tea, which added to the overall disjointed experience. Verdict: a great spot for weekend brunch with a fantastic outdoor patio setup--even on a chilly spring morning thanks to the heaters. Very dog-friendly and reasonably priced. That said there's definitely room for improvement with both food seasoning and service. Sharing this as constructive feedback--I'd love to see them refine things because the concept has a lot of potential!

    My favorite brunch in Arlington! It's the perfect place for a few friends or a small family to gather and try so many different dishes. The waffle and taco bars are such amazing additions to an already great menu. I loveeee their Brussels sprouts, they're so crispy and they come tossed in some sort of sweet and sour sauce, the black bean hummus is a must every time as well! Highly recommend reserving a table here for your next brunch!

    Had an amazing experience. While I prefer just ordering a regular meal and avoid "all you can eat" opportunities (just my thing, not saying it's bad), my wife sone and I did go with their bottomless dinner and had a fantastic evening. It gave my wife, son, and I the opportunity to try many little dishes and enjoyed everything we had. These included: garlic maple chicken wings, carnitas tacos, crispy brussel sprouts, crispy criolla potatoes (probably my favorite; I ordered more because they were so good), chili crisp fried chicken sliders, jerk chicken skewers, tuna crisp, marinated cucumbers, chilled chili udon noodles, sesame steak skewers, and more (yes, we put her down ). We even made room for dessert. It was a great deal, wonderful food, and a fantastic experience.

    Good quality quick service. Very chill low key ambiance. Food also quite tasty. The server I had was very efficient with our big work team group. I've been here several times. Going during happy hour was great, definitely will go back for that. At dinner time the place is very loud fyi.

    Best all you can eat spot for dinner! No food sitting out at a bar- order and it arrives fast. Perfect for our group of 8. Ordered as we went and everything was good to great. Thoroughly enjoyed the tender tasty steak skewers, cucumber salad, curry chicken empanadas, and crispy Brussels sprouts. It is easy to go overboard so avoided rice or bread items like pizza. Saved room for a luscious flourless chocolate cake and glad I did! 100% would return. John, our waiter, was very helpful and friendly.

    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!!

    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 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-

    CURRY CHICKEN EMPANADAS
    Starvel D.

    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.

    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!

    Red sangria
    Anastasiya N.

    It's a very cool place! They have great happy hour with small bites and great drinks. I tried their red sangria and it was refreshing and not too sweet. Street corn and street corn pan pizza were both super delicious. I also enjoyed funghi pizza with mushrooms. Crispy criollos potatoes were a bit dry and oily for my taste. The bartender was very attentive. Overall, it was a great experience and I would love to come back.

    How does the bottomless mimosas work?

    So for their brunch, the food is bottomless at the set price and then you can get a Bellini, a Mimosa, or a Bloody Mary for a discounted price of $4.22. They do not actually offer bottomless drinks.

    Do they offer bottomless brunch during the week? How much is it for kids?

    Just weekends currently since the last time I went!

    Do I need a reservation?

    Yes, especially on the weekend.

    Is this place good for kids?

    For sure, get atmosphere.

    Are dogs allowed?

    Service dogs

    Bottomless brunch is jus bottomless food? No bottomless mimosas included

    Food only. I think there are VA laws prohibiting bottomless alcohol

    Are they children-friendly? (have highchairs)?

    Yes. I believe they do.

    Do they have heaters outside?

    Yes they do! But last time they didnt have propane so i would cal ahead !

    Do you need to make a table reservation for happy hour?

    I'm not sure, but I made a reservation through open table and it was nice and smooth. Walked up to the hostess and sat right down. Went at 11:30 for brunch

    Do they have gluten free options?

    Yes, they do. Salads, octopus, ribs, wings, tacos, etc.

    Can you take home leftovers from the bottomless brunch?

    No you cannot.

    When does brunch end?

    I just called and they said 10:00 to 3:00, but given the other answer I would just call and double check.

    Do they take separate checks?

    Yes! When we were there they easily separated the check. I'd advise telling the waiter that you want separate checks when you order.

She was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and struck that perfect balance of checking in without hovering. Great service can elevate a meal, and Maria did exactly that. The food was excellent. The paella was delicious, the patatas bravas were flavorful, and both the pork belly and bacon-wrapped dates were standouts. The sangria was also fantastic and paired perfectly with the meal. Now, I've had Spanish food in places where it's a little more authentic and refined, so this wasn't necessarily the best Spanish food I've ever had. But considering we're in Virginia, Barcelona absolutely exceeded expectations. The quality of the food, the atmosphere, the patio setting, and especially the exceptional service combined to create a five-star experience. If you're in Reston and looking for a memorable dinner, Barcelona should be at the top of your list. Ask for Maria if you can she is fantastic.

Both times we've gone, it was during their happy hour, which runs until 7 pm, and we stuck to the special menu.

Don't hate us; that was spread over two visits. Everything tasted great, though next time I think we'll graduate to the real menu. The wines we've tried so far were either inexpensive or not bad.

This restaurant has a dining room that is as beautiful and impressive as any in DC. The architecture of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel (the Old Post Office Pavilion) is stunning. The crystal chandeliers shimmer, the furnishings are top notch, fancy even. The atmosphere could not be better. Likewise the food shines. Each dish outshone the one before. We started with the oxtail croquettes and they set the standard very high. The meat was luscious, luxurious even; the crust was perfectly crispy and crunchy. Then on to the she-crab soup. OMG it was to die for. The flavor was intense, like a crab bomb exploded in our mouths. We scraped the sides of the little bowls to get every drop. Our main dish was the beef tenderloin Rossini and this was easily among the best steaks I have ever had. Cutting the steak was easy because it was so tender. And the seared foie gras on top made it heavenly. So, to keep with my opening concept, the atmosphere of the dining room and the quality of the food were "the best of times." What was "the worst of times?" The service. It is hard to imagine food this good coming from a staff that is so unprofessional, uninspired, uninterested, unfocused. The staff - all of them - seemingly had no interest in providing top notch service. We waited to be approached. We waited for our drinks. We waited for our food; indeed, one of our courses never arrived. Never have I had such great food and such bad service all at the same time. Ronny was our waiter and, to be honest, he was not good. But everyone who we interacted with was bad so, I can only conclude, that this terrible service is what Jose Andres intended. And all of this at a meal that is VERY expensive. My spouse and I talked about the pricing. When you dine out, are you paying for the food only, or for the food and the service? The answer, of course, is that you are paying for both. So, while I do NOT mind paying a lot for a meal, I do want and expect that the food and the service will be somewhat equivalent to the price I have paid. At Bazaar Meat, that did not happen. Maybe the service lacked polish and professionalism because of the 20% tip that was automatically added onto the bill. They did not have to work hard for a tip since it was automatic. Sure, you could decrease the tip - it even said that at the bottom of the credit card slip. But would you ever do that? Not likely. So, that is my "A Tale of Two Cities" review of Bazaar Meat. Food and atmosphere, GREAT! Service, TERRIBLE! Do I recommend Bazaar Meat? No. Will I return? No.
