Palette 22 has one of the best happy hours in Shirlington. The drinks and food are always on point and the service is always prompt, professional, and friendly. I made a mistake with my reservation and Elvie hooked us up! Our servers were prompt and they even gave a “last call” for happy hour. Highly recommend. FUI: happy hour outside is only on one side of the patio :). Highly recommend the Touch of Spice, brussel sprouts, and mushroom pizza.

Food is always good. Service is always bad. Not sure if people who are seated outside have better service, but inside is never good. You have to search for a server, beg them to submit another order after your first one, and they NEVER ask you if you would like more drinks or water.

The food was a pretty good mix of fusion. The drinks were okay. The service was pretty terrible- we weren’t greeted for over 15 minutes and had to check in at the host stand to get a server. The people at the host stand ignored my partner at first. Our server came intermittently. The food was great but I’m not sure I want to visit again.

This restaurant was a lot of fun. From checking out the artwork to getting to try lots of different dishes. There was nothing that we disliked. And most things we loved. Our favorites were the wings, the cheeseburger sliders, the empanadas, the brussel sprouts, the street corn, the suspiro limeno dessert. The pork belly bao buns were disappointing (small and just ok). The pizza was good, but I'd rather eat the other amazing food.

Stopped here for dinner before theater. Lively atmosphere. All the food was very good and excellent service. Had Bao mushroom and eggplant sandwich, Lebanese carnitas tacos, tuna crudo, mushroom pizza — all excellent. Also enjoyed the non-alcoholic Strawberry Fields drink. As good as with the real stuff.

The food was pretty good, but the way there was 007 most of the time lol we had a large party so that may have had something to do with it. The table was pretty bad really close apps in the glass window when you enter the restaurant, and also a few of the chairs were rocking back-and-forth due to leveling.

Love this place. Great value. Large portions. Slow service on this night and it was not particularly busy and got no drink refills etc. We ordered 3 small plates at 605 and got 2 at 630. The 3rd a few min later. But love this place and will def come back.

For Mother's Day my brother and I decided to take my mother out and give her an unforgettable experience. The food was amazing, the area was beautiful, and the staff was friendly. My only complaint would be they no longer have unlimited dinner or allow the transition from lunch to dinner. We arrived for brunch which ended at 3 and was told that we could only order off half the menu. However, there menu is so big that it was ok.
