Visited Palm Palm for Mother's Day dinner and had a great experience. The food was flavorful, beautifully plated, and fresh. The lobster rolls were delicious, the salmon was cooked perfectly, and the pistachio dessert was amazing. Our server, Daron, was attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better despite the holiday rush. Great food and great service and a beautiful atmosphere. I'll definitely be back. read more

A classy atmosphere with endless options of culinary excellence! At the top of most Pittsburgh searches for trendy restaurants, Palm Palm delivers on all aspects. Simplistic, covered parking with a large parking structure attached to the restaurant. Elegance encapsulated with the high ceilings, modern fixtures, and classy atmosphere. The food is next level. With so many awesome small plate options, we decided to get drinks and share in the opportunities. This may be of benefit, as Palm Palm brings out food when it is ready instead of waiting to serve a full course to a party. Let's review the small plates: - Roasted Broccoli Caesar - roasted tender and perfectly coated with the brioche and parm - Focaccia Bread Board - fluffy, salty focaccia with somewhat simplistic board options of butters and jam - Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup Dumplings - easily our favorite bite!! Served in a spoon with creamy soup floating a perfectly filled dumpling of cheese goodness - Truffle Spaghettios - hello childhood, you missed the mark. These spaghettios may have you thinking nostalgia but the flavors are stellar. - Mini Lobster Rolls - chilled, copious lobster on a buttery crisp roll... shhhh they brought us a second one for free!!! - Waygu Meatballs - the plating is top notch. Little meatball holders to allow the French onion to soak in and the cheesy to perfectly melt across them all. Melt in your mouth meatballs with seasoning to make your want another! - Classic Oysters - a nice starter for the birthday boy! For drinks, we loved their homemade sodas - Lemon Ginger, Strawberry Passion Fruit, & Sunset Fire added the perfect sip between bites! And of courseeeee... you need desserts! Why not turn them into shareable small plates too!! - The Orange - levels of orange flavor perfectly paired together with sweetness to enhance the palate and enjoy! - Dark Desire - rich, dark chocolates with flairs of chocolate work. So goooood!! - Key Lime Pie - wooowww citrus overload. But so moist and yummy. Our waitress was phenomenal. Giving great suggestions, ensuring we always had dishes cleared and glasses filled... and even telling us menu changes that made some dishes not worth it anymore. Wow!! This is celebration station too! With the sparkler extraordinaire almost every table was celebrating someone or something while we were there. It's no surprise that this place is, was, and will be a trendy spot in Pittsburgh!! read more

I came here with a friend for brunch. I know they have several different and interesting menus for dinner as well. The atmosphere is pretty cool; definitely seems to be a bit more on the upscale vibe. In terms of food, I got to try their mango pancakes and a latte. Both were just average. The pancakes were actually quite disappointing. There's only a tiny bit of the syrup on top. The rest is dry and pretty flavorless. The mango did seem to be pretty fresh, though. It just didn't have much flavor, although the portion was pretty good (but also, price wise, it's a bit on the higher side). The latte was also just average; really cant remember much about it. All in all, the place seems to be a bit overpriced, and it's not one I'm likely to come back to for brunch, but maybe for dinner. read more

I recommend this place for those looking to share a few small things and grab a drink, or to celebrate a friend or family member. The small plates are fun takes on fantastic foods, like the grilled cheese and tomato soup dumplings and the wagyu meatballs. The large plates are just as good. During dinner time, the place is packed and loud. Service is amazing, your waiter will be on top of everything you need! The orange dessert was the perfect sweet to end the meal, a light and creamy mousse with a hard shell. read more

I've been to Palm Palm quite a few times for dinner but this was my first time for brunch and I can't believe I waited this long! It was packed inside so I'm glad I made a reservation for Saturday at 1pm. The vibes and staff are great as always and the food was delicious! Everyone agreed that my Korean Chicken Benedict feature was incredible and we loved the huge fluffy pancakes and our cocktails. For sides, definitely get the truffle fries or brûléed oranges! read more

I dropped in recently with a friend and had a great experience sitting at the bar! The restaurant has a really cool vibe and the staff is super friendly and helpful. There were so many great cocktails to choose from; I tried two of the gin options and they were delightful! I choose a couple of appetizers as my meal - the grilled cheese and tomato soup dumplings and the roasted carrots with whipped cheese. Neither are things I would have expected to order there, but they were both so delicious that I'd absolutely order them again! We also split the vegan PB&J cheesecake and it was 5 stars! Highly recommend. read more

We got the daily special of harissa shrimp (4.25/5), seafood skewers (top; 4.25/5), kimchi fried rice (4.75/5), and sea bass (5/5). The shrimp was good; the harissa added some nice flavor, but it was a lot milder and less spicy than usual. The seafood skewers were good; I liked how the pineapple added a bit of sweetness. The tuna, swordfish, and salmon were all well cooked. The kimchi fried rice was really good and a great value for only $7, especially compared to the rest of the menu's prices and the larger quantity; two orders will probably be the same or slightly larger than a main at most restaurants. The sea bass was amazing! It had a nice slightly crunchy outside and an intense, rich flavor from the sage brown butter; I think it if I ate it by myself it would have for sure hurt my stomach because of how rich it was. The balsamic glaze and beans also complimented it well. This was definitely the best sea bass I've had. The service was good (4/5). Our waitress helped suggest how many dishes to order and what stood out on the menu. The ambiance is pretty good (4.5/5); the interior of the restaurant is super nice, and the sunlight shines right into the space in the early evening. read more

Palm Palm absolutely delivers. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was on point, super hip, cool energy, and just the right balance of upscale without being stuffy. This place feels like it belongs in a much bigger food scene, and I mean that in the best way. Service was outstanding! Leah took incredible care of us. Attentive, knowledgeable, perfectly timed, and genuinely warm. That level of service elevates the entire experience. Food wise? No misses. My wife ordered the petite lobster tails, and they were cooked perfectly tender, flavorful, and plated beautifully. I went with the prime filet, which was spot-on: excellent cut, perfectly cooked, and exactly what you want when you order a filet. We also shared the wagyu meatballs, and honestly, those alone are worth coming back for! Rich, savory, and absolutely dialed in. Palm Palm checks all the boxes: food, service, atmosphere. This is the kind of restaurant you recommend without hesitation and keep in your regular rotation. We'll definitely be back. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by palm palm! I definitely went in with some concerns that It was just aesthetic and trendy considering all of the social media rage around It. However, I was quickly proven wrong. While It is very aesthetic & cute inside, the food is top notch. I'd give the Korean chicken a 10/10 as well as the steak with this interesting chimichurri, a style I've never had before. The desserts were good, and definitely big enough to share. For me, the only miss was the grilled cheese dumplings - I've eaten something similar in Vegas and unfortunately these ones close to home came out very dense and lukewarm. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. read more

I've been hearing some "buzz" about Palm Palm for a while now and was super excited to try it during restaurant week! The menu is California themed and everything was very fresh and garnished exceptionally well. The decor inside matched the Cali vibes of the menu and was surely a "warm" spot on a very cold Pittsburgh Day. For starters, we had the tuna tots (still thinking about those) and the bruleed oranges with goat cheese - very unique and wonderful pairing and a combination I've never tried before! For entrees, we tried the short rib and the Palm Palm chicken, which was topped with roasted tomatoes, peppers and a nice signature sauce. The portions on the entrees were nice as well! To round out the meal, was creme brûlée and key lime pie. The only thing we didn't quite care for was the creme brulee, the consistency was a little bit off compared to others I've had. The server was great, took time to explain everything and we also got a visit from the manager to ensure everything was to our liking. We can't wait to return and try brunch or come back for dinner! read more

I always appreciate having easy free parking associated with a restaurant like Palm Palm does as street parking in this neighborhood and specifically the immediate area is limited thus typically unavailable. The restaurant's entrance is on the corner on Center Ave-street level (it's part of a large two-level commercial complex.) As I've been to other restaurants owned by this Restaurant Group, my expectations were low so I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed my visit with some friends for brunch on a sunny warm Sunday in March. Our table was ready when we arrived and service was timely the whole time, no rushing us nor long waits. Having been to Palm Springs, the ambiance decor and vibe is spot on. The brunch menu had several entrees that I was interested in trying and since I enjoyed the Ritual Breakfast Sandwich, I look forward to returning to try another option soon. read more

Really enjoyable dinner. Tend to get small plates and the menu does change a little so some new items. The place is always lively with good background music.

This is a hidden gem! The service was excellent. The food was amazing, and the restaurant was beautifully decorated. I started off with the pistachio martini - so tasty!

Finally, the desserts were beautiful and well done! read more

Whomever I owe a thank you to for opening this restaurant in PGH- THANK YOU. First and foremost - the speciality cocktails and food menu are to die for ! Such a unique twist on not only the food but the way they present each plate. My friends and I are foodies and we love a new restaurant, especially in our city . This exceeds expectations. The pictures do not do their dishes justice , everything was delicate and delicious . We had one entree we did not really care for . The manager noticed we weren't touching it so we respectfully let her know we didn't care for the taste. She was apologetic and recommended some other delicious items on the menu. A short while later she invited us to tour the kitchen. You don't get service like that anymore ! The place is beautiful, minimal decor but that works for them all around . Go, you will not regret it. read more

I recently returned to Palm Palm for an AMAZING group dinner in one of their special dining rooms in the kitchen - all I can say is WOW!!! We had delightfully efficient and friendly service, got a full view of the kitchen service, and had so many delicious small plates!

I still want to try their short rib... So delicious I am already thinking about our next visit. Believe the hype! read more

Made reservations a few weeks prior to go to Palm Palm for dinner on a Friday. Everyone at the front desk greeting were so friendly, as was our server. We ordered several small plates to share including the truffle fries, meatballs, grilled cheese dumplings, and broccoli salad. Everything was good but I would most likely pass on the grilled cheese dumplings next time. They have a good variety of cocktails on their menu. My friend ordered the sangria. The presentation was beautiful! I ordered a glass of prosecco and it was quite tasty. In the end, service was great. I really want to come back for brunch in the near future. Parking was easy in the lot too! read more

We unfortunately missed the opening of Palm Palm last year. It's a big energetic place with a diverse, small plate menu. We had salads, burratta and Ceasar, lobster tails and lobster roll sliders, and the tomato soup and grilled cheese dumplings. Everything was great, and the pace of service was perfect. I give the wine list a low score because the choices are almost totally obscure bottles you never see anywhere else, and the glass/bottle prices are quite unusual. We will definitely be back to try other menu items. They copied some of the unique practices of their sister (mother?)restaurant, Ritual House, including the miniature light fixtures on the tables and the birthday sparklers. read more

Had so much fun at Palm Palm! From the moment we walked in we were greeted with upbeat, positive attitudes from the staff. We had a dinner reservation and were quickly escorted over to our table where we had the most fun, personable waitress. Started off with a round of drinks and if you take one suggestion from me, it should be the Frankie Louise cocktail. We were obsessed with the li hing powder. It's a fun menu with some unexpected combos so we decided to go for mostly unique dishes that we couldn't normally get elsewhere. Tuna sushi tots were a bit plain, fried brussels needed a little something more, but oh. my. god. we loved both the truffle spaghettios and grilled cheese & tomato soup dumplings. Like licking our plates clean. Ended our night by ordering a dessert purely so we could get the flaming monkey to celebrate. read more

Upon walking in, the atmosphere is very lively and bright. The decor is really cool, and they have multiple areas to dine/drink (bar, outside, couch area, or main tables). Apparently the larger tables are reservation only so definitely recommend getting a reservation in advance! The happy hour special on food and drinks are great, however only allowed in the bar, outdoor patio, and couch area. If cocktails aren't your thing, then they had a few fun sodas to try. I got the lychee coconut milk with was tropical, (very) sweet, and fun. We only tried the small plates which were honestly enough for us. We had the calamari (delicious dipping sauce, perfectly fried), truffle spaghetti o, artichokes, tuna rice tots, and a dessert. Honestly nothing blew my socks off, but I will say the artichokes were pretty amazing and on par with the ones at Alta Via if not better (IYKYK). The truffle spaghetti o's were yummy and different. I was not a fan of the tuna rice tots. It was just chopped tuna on top of rolled rice balls. I could have made that at home. They had a variety of fun desserts which all seemed to be mousse based. We tried the passionfruit sesame which was (very) tart and right up my alley. Service was good, they checked on us multiple times, but at times felt a bit overbearing. Overall, good dinner and pretty interior design. This would be a great spot for a large group dinner since the menu is so expansive. read more

My friend & I went here for my birthday. We had a cocktail at the bar before our dinner. The bartender, hostess and waiter were all so lovely and made our time even better. They did a cute monkey sparkler for my birthday and we had the delicious key lime pie! I like that you can stay as long as you want and I love that the small plates make it "shareable taste everything together" style where is what we did. They were out of one of the small plates but everything else we tried was delicious! Love the decor. The cocktails can be pricey but that's about the same as everywhere with similar. Only thing I'll say is it was hard to find as gps takes you to a lot behind it & I circled the building haha! Definitely recommend for girls night out or date. read more

As soon as Palm Palm opened, accolades were being spread amongst foodies in the Pittsburgh area, so of course, I anticipated my visit. Upon entering the restaurant, there's a bar in front of you with cool seating and group tables in the back. The service was great, ans our waitress was very helpful in making decisions. Palm Palm has a lot of shareable appetizers as well as main meals, so we decided to order a few appetizers and a main meal for each of us so we could try various things. For out Appetizers, we got the Truffle Spaghettios, Broccoli Caesar Salad, and Lobster Rolls. Everyone raved about the Truffle Spaghettios, so I had high hopes but this was actually my last favorite appetizer. The Broccoli Caesar was FANTASTIC and life changing. I would come here just to have that! The Lobster Rolls were tasty, and the roll was soft and delightful. For our main meals, I had the Coconut shrimp and my husband had the beef Ragu. Both of these meals were underwhelming in comparison to the appetizers. To finish off the meal, I had to try the infamous orange dessert. It was very unique, and I'm glad I tried it. It was worth it for $8, but I'm not sure I loved it enough to try it again. Palm Palm was an overall great experience. I would definitely come back for the Broccoli Caesar and cocktails. The vibe was cool and relaxed, and it would be the perfect pre-dinner place to stop! read more

This place has ALL THE VIBES! On top of it, the food and drinks are so good! The group of us pretty much ordered one of everything and nothing disappointed! Because there were so many of us (8) and we each ordered 2-3 items off the menu, the server brought the dishes out in waves rather than all at once. It made for less confusion at the table, however, it also made for a longer dinner. Just something to keep in mind! Delicious and would recommend! Looking forward to going back! read more

I had such an incredible experience at Palm Palm and I will be recommending it to everyone I know! My friend and I were having a farewell dinner as she is moving next week, and it was made so special by our waitress, Ali! She made us these post cards, which truly warmed my heart. The inside of the restaurant is gorgeous and I absolutely love the vibe in there. The drinks were delicious, and very much fit the vibe of the restaurant. There were plenty of options for food! We got the grilled cheese & tomato soup dumplings, fried goat cheese balls, roasted broccoli caesar, kimchi fried rice, tofu lettuce wraps and korean fried chicken. Everything had such wonderful taste! The broccoli caesar was my absolute favorite. Some of the items were slightly cold by the time they came out, which is understandable with timing out the courses. But other than that, an absolute wonderful experience and I will be coming back! read more

I don't typically sit at the bar because I always feel as though bartenders are too busy to be attentive. However, this was not the case at Palm Palm. Erica, our bartender was incredibly attentive and had such a sweet and calming demeanor. As a group of five, we arrived at about 3:30pm before the crowd and it was just perfect. The ambiance, the food, the drinks... we had an array of food and each choice did not disappoint. Parking was easy, the view of the church is beautiful, the interior design feels trendy yet warm, and the manager came to check on us a few times so there is certainly care in the way they operate. Although it is pricey, even at happy hour prices, it was worth it for a rare treat. read more

Now I want my dining experience to deliver on all the senses, so I'm drawn to restaurants with great décor. It's all about the vibes for me--and this place delivers. The style is a mix of Palm Beach and Palm Springs influences, and I'm loving it. They even hired a professional artist to gild the ceilings with gold. This is the perfect spot for a girls' night out--the kind where you order a bunch of cocktails and small plates to share. To kick things off, we enjoyed oysters, brûléed oranges, lobster rolls and the goat cheese balls - these were all so fun. But the standout small plate was the truffle SpaghettiOs. I don't even like truffle, but this dish was absolutely delicious--rich without being overpowering. A very grown-up, crave-worthy take on a childhood classic. My second favorite was the fries with lemon caviar dip. It's such a treat to indulge in caviar. The fries were perfectly crisp and seasoned. For my second cocktail, I went with the Frankie Louise --fruity, balanced, and just so good. Moving on to mains--we tried the coconut shrimp, which was like a funnel cake wrapped around shrimp. The flavor was great, but it we pretty dense I was hoping for something lighter. My husband ordered the New York steak with pepper relish and crispy onions--fun, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. We also sampled their flat iron wagyu--high quality and cooked beautifully. Now, dessert here is a must. Honestly, I'd come back just for that. We had the Key Lime Pie--which was almost like a cheesecake--huge, amazing, and only $12. Then I got the "Orange," which was orange mousse, mandarin jelly, and orange cake. Absolutely delicious. I loved our night here. Highly recommend--and I can't wait to go back. I've been telling everyone about this spot, so definitely make a reservation. thank you so much to the Palm Palm restaurant team for having us in to try this delicious new spot. Opinions in this review are honest & I'll be back for more! read more

Palm Palm restaurant serves brunch and dinner in a coastal-themed setting. Examples of menu items are pancakes, waffles, eggs benedict, salads, bone-marrow tartare, truffle spaghettios, seafood skewers, coconut shrimp, branzino, NY strip, wagyu, wines, cocktails, and sodas. Through OpenTable, I made a reservation for my husband and I to eat dinner here. We parked our vehicle in an adjacent garage for free, and a stranger seemed to try to get money from us. The seating hostess promptly seated us. Our waiter and chefs could have timed our plates better, but the waiter interacted very politely with us. Here are my reviews for what we ate: Grilled-cheese tomato-soup dumplings - 4 stars - This small plate creatively combined cheese wontons and tomato soup and was served in spoons. Mini lobster roll - 3 stars - Shrimp and lobster filled a brioche bun. The chef used too much lemon juice, so the lemon was overpowering and prevented us from tasting the meat. Seabass - 4 stars - The seabass was a good size. It came with a flavorful coconut-pineapple rice as well as chimichurri and jicama slaw. Wagyu ragu - 4 stars - The pipe-rigate pasta was cooked properly and contained wagyu chunks and veal demi-glace sauce. Orange dessert - 4 stars - This dessert had a cute shape. It contained orange cake, orange mousse, mandarin cremeux, and mandarin jelly. These two small plates, two large plates, and one dessert cost $121 plus tax and tip. Of course, we could have spent much more, especially if we had ordered drinks. My husband said, "The food has been very OK. This is a place for pictures, not for food. It's not very good. It's pretty. Gimmick." Overall, my opinion of Palm Palm is that it has a similar quality to its downtown sister restaurant Ritual House: stylish decor and OK to good foods. read more

A friend and I grabbed a late reservation at Palm Palm, and we really enjoyed it. Palm Palm is a great spot for tapas. We felt the dishes were reasonably priced, but one thing to note is that the portions of the smaller bites would be difficult to split between more than two people. If you are going with a larger party, you will need to order more. Some of our favorites were the fried goat cheese, calamari, and grilled cheese and tomato soup dumplings. Our food came out relatively quickly, and our server made sure our water glasses were never empty. If you're heading to Palm Palm, plan accordingly and make a reservation. It gets VERY crowded, even during the week, so you are unlikely to just walk in and get a table. read more

First of all, Palm Palm is spectacular looking! There's nothing in Pittsburgh that compares to how Palm Palm looks period! The artwork, the decorations, everything is spectacular and spot on with regards to the feeling that the owners hope to evoke when patrons enter the restaurant. The restaurant's decor is truly wonderful. The murals that allows patrons to insert themselves into Mid-century modern environs are breathtaking! All those items being said, I hoped for more from Palm Palm and I pray that Palm Palm can make some adjustments. I ordered the Mini Lobster Rolls, Kimchi Fried Rice and Short Ribs Barbecue. My daughter, Muff ordered the Sushi Tots, Deviled Crab Fritters and Fried Brussels Sprouts with Sweet and Sour Sauce and my sister, Luch ordered the Roasted Broccoli Caesar Salad, Street Corn Queso Dip and Nutty By Nature Cheesecake. The food is beautifully plated and the service is spectacular. Now, about the food. We had some hits and some misses. The Mini Lobster Rolls were tasty as well as the Short Rib bites. The fried rice was tasty, but still a little hard against your teeth. The Sushi Tots and Brussels Sprouts were also tasty. The Street Corn Queso Dip was tasty, but a little on the runny side and only came with a limited amount of tortilla chips. When my sister asked for more, she didn't realize that she would be charged for them. Seriously, tortilla chips are cheap and a little more can be provided. The Deviled Crab Fritters were acceptable but definitely needed some additional crab meat. They only had hints of crab. And the Broccoli Caesar Salad and Nutty By Nature Pistachio cheesecake were delicious! All in all, Palm Palm is a wonderful addition to the Pittsburgh food scene, they just need some tightening up of some of their menu items. I also give them grace because they haven't been open long and I pray that others enjoy the restaurant's vibes. read more

I was so excited to be here, that I forgot to take pictures of most of eveything we ate, but let me tell you - we were not disappointed! It took a while to get an advance reservation, but it was worth the wait. The only negative things I have to say is that for me, the Frankie Louise cocktail was too sweet. I wouldnt order it again. It had a ton of foam on top and just isn't my style. Also, I would have ordered more spread out. I wish we didn't get so much food all at once because it was impossible for us to eat everything while it was hot. Other than that, all of the food was delicious!! Items we ordered: Grilled cheese and tomato soup dumplings - cam on little spoons and were so good! Roasted Carrots - were so good that it's something we make at home now too Truffle spaghettios - my husband isn't a huge truffle fan and couldn't stop talking about these Seabass - this was delicious, but was probably my least favorite. I wish we stuck to more small plates or ordered it separately so we had more time to enjoy it while it was hot Dark desire - very rich and pretty read more

Back for a second time. Instead of brunch came for Valentine's Day dinner. Well the Friday before valentines. The ambiance at night was warm and beautiful. Not sure if the table decor was specifically for valentines or if it's like this every night. Perfect lighting, tables not cluttered. Minimal but elegant decor. Now let's get into the dinner. SPECTACULAR! The Chilean Sea bass and Teriyaki Salmon was infused with flavors you would've never thought would go with it. The rice that comes with the teriyaki salmon was like a flavor explosion that hits your tongue. We also got the bake potato and Brussels sprouts which both are also very made. Another plus is the Brussels sprouts did not contain pork like most restaurants. Lobster rolls were also delish but the main dishes stole the show. Service was great, all of staff was great. We go there a little early to take photos throughout the restaurant and the staff was more than accommodating. Just go! read more

I stopped here for a Saturday brunch and it was delicious. The atmosphere was like a baha vacation vibe. The prices were very fair and the portions were large. I got a coffee and it was good. My only complaint with the coffee is the saucer because it made me spill my hot coffee every where. I got the Hawaiian stuffed french toast and it was very good. The pastry cream was a nice touch. When we arrived there were barely any people in the restaurant. We got sat very closely to another table, making it hard to leave at the end. The employees were friendly and professional. I am excited to go back and try something else. read more

Another concept from the owners of Ritual House, which has become a special occasion favorite for me and my family, I am excited and appreciative that Palm Palm is here, continuing to elevate the Pittsburgh food scene. The cool, vintage West Coast vibe is on point. I loved all the thoughtful details, from the seashell chairs around the bar to the feathery decor over the lounge to the posh green tile with gold accents in the bathroom. Even the menu was printed on a thick, almost linen feeling card stock. It all says, you are here to escape for a moment and immerse yourself in the experience. I can't speak to the large plates, which all sounded thoughtfully done but none of which were vegetarian. But that was fine by me because I really wanted to order a lot of small plates here and try a bunch of things, and there were so many vegetarian-friendly options. The friend who went with me is gluten-free and our server inquired about certain items to make sure they would be OK for her and nothing was hidden in the ingredients. We were there in the first week of opening and our server didn't yet know all of those answers offhand, but was more than happy to find them out. We had six or seven small plates, most shared but one each specific to each person that the other couldn't eat. Mine in this category was the truffle SpaghettiOs, which I think I would eat daily if I could. The flavor was a sublime truffle mac & cheese paired with nostalgia. I was excited that there were so many vegetarian-friendly options and we tried things ranging from street corn taquitos to artichokes to one of my favorite dishes at the other restaurant, brûléed oranges. I wasn't disappointed in a single plate. There is a very nice, well-balanced cocktail menu. I unexpectedly became a non-drinker this year and I am always very interested in what kinds of NA options a nice restaurant has for me. They have a handful of very nice handcrafted sodas. I ordered two of these throughout my meal; they're priced at $9, a little more than half of a cocktail, which I thought was fair. Our bill was $125 before tip, and we felt that was fair and did not leave hungry, as often feels like the case at places with Instagrammable small plates. This is a really nice dining experience. I'm anxious to come again and try the options I missed on this visit. read more

Finally went to Palm Palm and enjoyed the atmosphere, service and especially the food! One word: TrufflespaghettiO's Okay two words, lol, but order them you won't regret it. And since I am doing dry January I ordered a homemade Soda Passion fruit and it was delicious. We had a group of 5 and it's restaurant week so we had a reservation but I am gonna assume any other time you would want one, the place was packed. Such cute decor and the sparkler they bring to table for special occasions looked very festive. We are already planning on going back for brunch soon. read more

We celebrated my birthday here as soon as I could find a reservation in the normal dinner hours. Parking is easy in the garage next door. They have indoor and outdoor seating. (Indoors is loud, as there are a lot of beautiful if reflective surfaces.) We had a table in the center and a friendly waiter who answered all our menu questions. One thing to know is that not all small plates are the same size. I made a meal of the unfortunately named truffle spaghettioes (no sickly sweet tomato sauce, just slightly salty cheese sauce; too small to share), some (slightly salty) Brussels sprouts (we had leftovers), and some of hubby's steak (shareable). He really enjoyed the steak as well as the heirloom tomato salad, which he demolished. I can't recommend the house soda, which is a $9 glass of shaved ice and a little spritz. The lemon berry cake was generous for two and delicious. Prices were fair. I'll give them another try. read more

This new spot is gorgeous! The outdoor seating is so beautiful and shaded, perfect for the weather lately. The inside is also beautifully decorated and the bar is gorgeous. Aesthetics are top notch! Service was amazing too, our server was so sweet. They do coastal food influenced by Palm Springs and Palm Beach. The small plates here were really good. It's so fun to get a bunch and share with a group. We loved the crab fried rice special with bacon jam, lump crab, and fried soft shell crab. It was savory with the bacon jam caramelization that really worked. The lobster rolls and short rib were amazing too. The bruleed oranges are so good. They have really unique grilled cheese and tomato soup dumplings that were such a fun concept. My favorites here were definitely in dessert too! They make it all in house. The macarons were soooo good and the chocolates were delicious and unique. I loved the blackberry macaron and the passionfruit chocolate. The key lime pie was insanely good and I'm not a big key lime pie person. The lemon and blueberry cake was soooo good and balanced. The citrus and sesame was one of my favorites too. It had yuzu and was not too sweet and texturally so amazing. You have to get dessert when you come! I loved that they have mocktails that were really good. My friend really liked her cocktails too! They were presented beautifully. Definitely need to come back for brunch! It's such a great new spot in town with a big menu that has something for everyone! read more

Where do I begin? The interior decor is just so thoughtfully curated. We love the adorable barstools to the bathroom tiles and bright natural lighting in the dining area. Service was prompt, considering how busy it was around the holiday season with brunch crowds. Our candied bacon, stuffed Hawaiian toast, truffle fries and biscuits and gravy were all so delicious. The orange dessert was so delightfully cute and tasty. Very light and airy. It's a great place to have friends order different items so you can try them all! I can't wait to come back for the dinner menu read more
