Great food! Great ambiance! Great mission! Excellent service! It's hard not to try everything on the menu.

Daniela and Iliana have great customer service! We love palette 22 and we see Daniella working hard every time we come to visit !

The food was absolutely amazing.. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was the customer service. John and Cristian went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. They were attentive, friendly, and made the whole night even better.Highly recommend this place, and we'll definitely be back! read more

Let's first start with my recommendation, which is that you come here starving lol! This is by far THE BEST bottomless brunch (food only) that I have been too. EVER-ry-THING we had was absolutely delicious and all for the total of $32. Then to add to the greatness, the drink specials with this bottomless brunch selections are only $4. If that doesn't just make you jump for joy, let's talk about the customer service by our waitress, Stacy! Stacy was beyond amazing. She checked in consistently, provided exceptional recommendations, and was also very engaging. On to the dishes that we thoroughly enjoyed... Which was basically everything we ordered and tried. Lol So, we started our journey to gluttony with the waffles and tacos, which are prepared via the waffle and taco cart. The batter for the waffles was simply divine. Then to add the additional toppings for the waffle WITH THE blueberry jam/syrup mixture (don't know what it was called)... My taste buds were over the moon! Then we had the tacos, which were great. Then came the sausage biscuit and brussel sprouts, which were scrumptious. Afterwards, we had the cheeseburger sliders, the lumpias, and empanadas, which were perfect. Each of these dishes came with sauces that further amazed our taste buds. Then there was the roasted mushroom and sweet corn flatbread which I was an absolute fan of. Lastly, there was the jerk skewers that didn't really give jerk, however, despite that, they were still good. Overall, 10/5 lol! I WILL be back! read more

came into P22 on a friday night, hoping for minimal wait time...my friend and i were so pleasantly surprised when we walked in & were immediately seated. we had the BEST bartender Chris...he was so friendly, gave such good recommendations on the menu & was fun to chat with. needless to say, we'll be back! also...come on the more hungry side and order the bottomless dinner...we did a few rounds and are FULLLLLLL full, but we shared every plate so we could try more things on the menu. definitely a great bang for your buck. read more

Great happy hour with decently priced food and drinks. The Brussels sprouts are really good, I like the granola on top. Pizza is pretty good too read more

Love the variety of the menu -- and if you are really hungry and love to try a bunch of different national cuisines, highly recommend the endless little plate option for either lunch or dinner. Among the standouts: the Brussel sprouts (I know, seems odd, but they do a great job with them here), the Tuna Crudo, and the Mexican Street Corn pizza. Food comes out as it is available -- NOT when everything that is ordered is ready. Servers have electronic menu ordering system, so you can add on anything any time. Food is clearly prepped as ordered - everything comes out at the right temperature. Parking is free and easy in multiple garages around Shirlington. Its a great 90-minute dinner option before the start of a show at the Signature Theater (one-block walk away). read more

This place is underrated I think. Their bottomless options are incredibly generous, but even if you don't want that I've always enjoyed anything a la carte. It's convenient to the movie theater in Shirlington and just a relaxing place to go with friends. read more

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! read more

As visitors of the area, this was the perfect place to check out! The food was delicious, there was plenty of seating, and the service and ambiance were impeccable. My friends and I really enjoyed getting the bottomless lunch. For only ~$30, we were able to try so many different appetizers, entrees, and desserts! They were even able to customize some menu items to be vegeterian for some of my vegeterian friends. Would recommend!! read more

We have visited Palette 22 twice now over three weeks for the unlimited dinner option. It is wonderful! My wife and I loved this place so much on the first visit that we decided to bring family (including an international restaurateur/chef-consultant) visiting from Istanbul. The small plates seemed prepared-to-order and were generally delicious. The service was good and the ambiance (including an independent artist painting at the front) was great. We highly recommend: scallops (and the potato puree, for sure), chicken, beef, and cubano sliders, street corn, steak satay, and the Dan Dan options (pizza and noodles). Oh, and the dessert mousse is a hit. "The best chocolate mousse I've ever had," said one person from our party. We also had two small children in out party... good for small kids on an off night like a Sunday, but I would not recommend on a busy night. Important note: they honor their reservations, unlike another restaurant we tried to visit this weekend. read more

2.4.2024- So many brunch options in the DMV made it a little difficult to select the perfect place to celebrate my niece's 25th birthday. She suggested Palette 22 so I made the reservation. This place has almost a perfect rating with over 2K reviews. We arrived minutes before our 2:30 reservations and was promptly seated. Music, art, & tasty bites are my jam and that's exactly what Palette 22 is serving. For Bottomless Brunch we started off with French toast sticks, monkey bread, shrimp & grits, and crispy Brussels + hibiscus and blood orange mimosas. Next round, spicy chili fried chicken sliders, curry chicken empanadas, jerk chicken skewer, & more Brussels. All small plates but a lot!! We kept eyeing the chef attended waffle bar but never made it over...What a fun brunch experience and excellent value. The entire team was pleasant & available to assist. Can't believe I was so late to the party!!! PS. No to go boxes will be provided so only order what you're going to eat! read more

Visited palette 22 a few times. They previously had endless tapas but took that away and I wasn't very pleased. The service was ok. On busy days they take quite awhile but they're overall still very attentive. It's a fairly large restaurant with tables and a bar. They have outdoor seating as well. A good place for weekend brunch. read more

Love love love!!! We came in for happy hour and had two rounds of drinks plus almost everything off the happy hour menu and a couple things to take home... $72 for two people after tax and tip. Incredible deal!!! Our favorites were the corn and mushroom flatbread, the jerk chicken skewer, the street corn, and the Brussels sprouts. So almost everything? Yeah, just get everything. read more

Did the unlimited dinner -- glad we did because the food wasn't good enough to be a regular dinner... I thought the food was pretty good but if you're not super hungry, I would find somewhere else. It feels like Ambar; the food is OK but feels mass-produced. The plates are pretty pricey ($10) for a TINY plate of anything; for example, a tiki masala was $10 (regular menu and bottomless same), but it came w a couple pieces of chicken and a teaspoon of rice. If you're coming for all you can eat, Worth it. If not, then no. read more

I've been to this location 4 times, the last time was for my birthday in January. I'm late posting my reviews, but they're coming. We love this place. However, on our last visit, my baby sister found a rubber band in her slider. The server seemed very familiar with the type of band, but when the manager came over, he was almost accusatory, indicating that he looked in the kitchen and it didn't look like anything they use. There was some back and forth banter, but he was still very inappropriate and very accusatory. I don't remember his exact words, but I remember how we all felt when we were leaving. He did comp my sister's meal, but his response was not okay. We frequent a LOT of restaurants and we tip well. His comments will keep us from going back to this location. read more

We got sat at "John's" table near the middle slightly behind the waffle and taco station. Saturday, May 17th at 12:10pm. John is a tall gentleman who was by far the worst server I've encountered in the last 10 years. We brought our friends who have never been to P22 before, so we were excited. We had the bottomless brunch -- Skewer chickens, chicken sliders, and the cucumber dish were my favorite. I've noticed that the busser and food runners offered amazing service. Wish we we could have given tip to them instead. I used to be a server back in the day so I really appreciated their work. John barely introduces himself in a welcoming manner and then takes our orders eventually. Throughout our meal, he never once stopped by to check on how the food was tasting or if we needed anything else. In fact, it took him so long to come check on us after the first round of orders that I found myself stretching my neck out constantly looking for him. When he finally passed by our table (around 20 minutes later), I caught him to make our 2nd round of tapas orders. While we are placing our order with John, he says that we can have one of our orders "later"... UM, if I'm placing an order for my bottomless brunch, I would like you to put in the order right away sir. Ok? We just ignored his ignorance. We made our one last order and still not pleasant. Just kind of robotic. Also, our table kept getting pretty crowded with so many empty plates. Of course the bussers did the best they could but they had others tables too. Whenever he passed by our crowded table, he would only occasionally take our empty plates and then he would ask us to give him the plates. The table wasn't even that big so I KNOW he can make that reach himself and clear it HIMSELF. But no, every single time we would be bussing the table for him while he stood there collecting the plates. Odd thing is, I saw John working his other table that was a large party. Maybe around 15-20 people. He was very much attentive with them. I'm hoping he wasn't treating us this way because of our race. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Finally, when we we asked for our check, it was time for us to put our tip amount in. They use one of those portable card machines; he hands out the machine to me so I can input the tip amount in and sign. I tried to take it but he tugs it back, and then I tried gently tugging it back again, but he wouldn't budge. I actually really despise putting my tip amount in while a server holds out a portable card machine. It really makes me uncomfortable....RUDE MUCH? WHY ARE YOU A SERVER DUDE? YOU SEEM MISERABLE. If I am choosing to not eat at my home and go out to a restaurant to PAY for food AND service, the least you could do is offer somewhat of an adequate service. I reluctantly gave 18%. I wish I could go back and put $2 instead. I hope Palette22 is paying their bussers and food runners well. They were amazing. Food overall was pretty delicious. Sadly, I cannot give more than 2 stars. The service made all 4 of us pretty upset. Please do better! People these days think tips are automatically a GIVEN. No, you need to work for it. If you don't work for it, don't expect a decent tip or anything at all, and don't complain about it. It is not our jobs as consumers to pay YOUR wages for terrible service. read more

Today was my third time coming here for their bottomless brunch, and I think it solidified Palette 22 as my favorite brunch spot. I love the option to try so many different things, and it's the perfect place to bring people who visit me from out of town. I've tried most of the menu at this point, and I don't think I've been disappointed in anything. Some of my favorites are the arroz frito con huevos, the shrimp and pork lumpias, the fried chicken sliders, and the churros. They also have some of the best bloody Marys in my opinion. In addition to the delicious food, the overall ambiance is really great. I love watching the artists paint, and the art work is all so gorgeous and unique. I've sat both in and outside, and both have their benefits. Finally, the service is always on point. It has been packed every time I've been there (so reservations are definitely recommended), but the food comes out quickly, the servers check in frequently, and they clear the finished plates quickly as well. I highly recommend Palette 22, especially if you like to try a variety of foods! read more

I've gone here twice so far for their brunch all you can eat and I love their variety of food. I think next time I'll try to just order off the menu a la carte instead of the all you can eat. I don't eat that much and it ends up evening out or I feel really full afterwards. Despite it having the all you can eat option, I don't think the quality of the food goes down at all. It is a bit of a wait, but I don't mind. They have a taco bar where you can watch someone cook the meat while you pick what you want. I also thought it was a nice touch that they have a doggie menu. It was a little expensive for what it was but I thought it was cute that my dog could partake in brunch with us. The fact that they are so dog friendly makes me happy but beware of other dogs around who will be barking nonstop. read more

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars lol. It was restaurant week and my friend and I wanted to try somewhere new for brunch. We decided to try the unlimited brunch at Palette 22 and we were so surprised at how amazing it was. I don't know what we were expecting but it definitely was not this lol. We got so much food! Like wow for $32... you can pick anything on the menu plus the taco and waffle bar inside. We had 3 orders of the black bean hummus lol. It was so different and delicious. I would say the black bean hummus was my favorite menu item however I really enjoyed the jerk chicken skewers as well. The location is in the Shirlington neighborhood which has a lot of cute shops nearby. Even though on Sunday morning the restaurant was busy, the service was efficient. Will definitely be back read more

Pretty decent place. Kind of like tapas style dishes. The food was good but it took forever for the jerk Chicken skewers to come out! They ended up bringing us Churros for free because of the wait. And even that came out before the skewers. And they were spicy! Good but, get at your own risk. No other issues, we were seated quickly, service was great and drinks were good. I would go back for their all you can eat option. read more

This was a food adventure! There were 4 of us and we all got the "Passport" which meant we got to try a total of 16 different items for $38 per person. It was fantastic! Out of the 16 items there was only one that we didn't love and that was mostly a texture issue (the Tuna Crudo). The service was kind of hands off which was fine with us. The place is quirky and artsy and that was fun. Our only complaint was that it was freezing cold inside and our food all came out at the same time so it was cold 5 minutes into the meal. We will definitely be back though!! read more

Honestly, this is my go to place for a happy hour. Happy hour on Monday lasts until 9 PM but you have to request to be seated in the bar area next to the large windows in order to order from the menu. There's usually an artist who is working on a canvas or available to do sketches or doodles for tips which is a fun added quirk to the restaurant. I usually go during happy hour and the ambience is medium to moderate noise level, depending on the crowd, a little dark, but overall fun and you can still hear the person across the table. The menu is constantly changing so if you visited last month, It may be completely different next month but they do keep fan favorites on. The happy hour menu is ridiculously discounted for food and you can eat an entire meal for about 25$ ( all the other times I ordered other entrées/drinks/ are not pictured LOL). Go to orders that have stayed on the menu are: jerk chicken skewers, chicken, sliders, black bean hummus, crispy brussels sprouts to share (big plate!!!), white wine (5.22$). The butter chicken is not the most flavorful so not my favorite. Definitely bring a big group and have a good time here! read more

What a cool place in the middle of the village at shirlington. This is a tapas bar and we did the passport. It's $20 something a person and every one chooses 3 dishes. Between the four of us we decided to get 12 different things and sample all of them. It was plenty of food and like the passport name implies we ate food from all around the world. The only complaint i have is that it was like 50 degrees in the building. I think it is because they have an open kitchen so when they aren't busy the ovens don't counter the cold. But even with that I'm giving them 5 stars which shoes how much we liked it. Just bring a jacket. read more

We came here for brunch last weekend and this place is amazing! Make sure to make a reservation because it's pretty busy. The ambiance is very fun with vibrant colors and set pieces. They also have a lot of moving parts going on at the same time which is great because it means the food that you ordered will come out quickly (for the most part). The brunch is a well oiled machine. I do recommend the all you can eat with a group of people because you can try so many different flavors. The dishes come out in batches so you might order something and have it come to your table within minutes. The standouts were the curry chicken empanadas, Dan Dan noodles, monkey bread, arroz frito con chorizo and the waffle. There is a waffle and taco bar where they make them fresh to order. Drinks are not included with brunch (apparently that's not permitted under Virginia law) though, the drinks are half off. We also ordered shrimp and grits and those took way too long. Not sure if they forgot them or if for some reason they were backed up. They were good but not worth the 30 min wait. Overall, I really enjoyed the unique Latin, Asian, Indian fusion that this place offers for brunch and would gladly come again. read more

Went to Palette 22 this past Saturday for a girls' brunch, and let me tell you--it did not disappoint! This was my first brunch of 2025 and my first time drinking since 2024, and let's just say... it was a time was had. You know when you tell yourself, "I'm only having one drink," and five drinks later, you're questioning all your life choices? Yeah, that was me on Saturday. The entire group agreed to the bottomless brunch, and since my party was very late, I got a head start. The bottomless brunch is $32.22 per person, and everyone at the table has to participate. In return, you get access to everything on the menu--yes, everything! We probably ordered almost every dish once and some favorites two or three times. My top picks: Street corn Jerk chicken skewers Marinated cucumbers Brussels sprouts Sliders Waffles (because, obviously!) We also took full advantage of the waffle bar and taco bar--both were solid additions to the spread. Now, about the drinks... When you hear "bottomless brunch," you assume the drinks are included, right? Wrong. They're not free, but they are heavily discounted. The included options are Bloody Marys, Bellinis, and Mimosas--we had about five drinks each, and let's just say the bill caught us a little off guard. Still, considering how much we consumed, it was very reasonable. The vibe was on point, the service was great, and the food was delicious. Plus, the location in the heart of Shirlington is super walkable, with plenty of street parking. This was my first time at Palette 22, but it definitely won't be my last. Bottomless brunch me, please! read more

I'have been coming to Palette since they open their doors, and I have never had a bad experience at this place, the bartenders are awesome as well the servers but today the hostess's just did not have the customer service experience that I was expecting. They weren't able to accommodate me and my 2 friends to a small table, apparently they were all booked, so my friends convinced me to sit at the bar. We ordered food and drinks and during the whole time, a lot of tables were empty. So idk what's going on with their hostess not being able to make space but they should be better. read more
