PARKING: While there's no parking at the restaurant specificallyl, there are several parking garages/lots nearby that don't charge. CORNBREAD: These cute cornbread muffins were complimentary to the table. Overall okay, wish they were warmed upon serving. Still enjoyed them though with the soft spread. FRIED GREEN TOMATOES: This comes with cornmeal crusted fried green tomatoes, crispy basil leaves, and basil aioli. I've never had green tomatoes before and really enjoyed them! BAKED BRIE: This comes with fig compote, toasted almonds, grilled baguette, grapes, and honeycomb. This did not come with enough baguettes. Would not get this again. TAVERN BURGER: This comes with angus beef patty, aged cheddar, crispy bacon, bibb lettuce, red wine shallot aioli, and a brioche bun. Overall, this was very yummy. A little tough to eat the more I ate haha, but overall still yummy nonetheless.

We have been to Samuel Beckett's many times over the decades, and it remains a reliable, simple,…read morevalue option for dinner or drinks or brunch in Shirlington. Not special, but reliable, with something on the menu to please anybody. It's not our first choice for food (this isn't exactly a chef-driven restaurant), but if you like Irish fare, they do a respectable job with all of that: corned beef, bangers & mash, lamb, fish & chips, etc., plus burgers and "bar food"-level salads and the like. Samuel Beckett's deserves extra points for NOT raising prices to the same degree as some of its Shirlington neighbors. For a table service restaurant these days, it's a greater value than it's ever been, and that's much appreciated.

We shared the Irish baked brie. This was tasty but definitely could have been warmer. I had the Lamb Stew as my entree. It was just OK. I prefer a creamier sauce, and the lamb wasn't as tender as I expected. The Irish brown bread (thin slice) that accompanied it was tasty, but the butter was not Kerrygold as the menu states. I'll select a different entree if I return. My friend had Shepherd's Pie which she enjoyed. She also ordered the bread pudding. I had a bit but it was too sweet for me. We did enjoy the ice cream that came with. Karlen, our waiter was attentive, and offered to split the cost of our appetizer. Much appreciated!

Palette 22 had been on our list for the longest time, and now we're just upset we didn't try it…read moresooner! We went on a Saturday night and made a reservation, which I'd definitely recommend. The space is so unique and artsy. The walls are covered with beautiful artwork (some of which you can actually purchase), and even the menus are works of art. It made the whole experience feel fun and creative. The staff was wonderful, especially our server Noah, who was incredibly attentive and made the experience even better. We did the bottomless dinner, and the value is honestly unbeatable. We tried the grilled gem lettuce, marinated cucumbers, street corn, hoisin-glazed pork belly bao buns, P22 cheeseburger sliders, spicy shrimp & pancetta pizza, funghi pizza, dan dan noodles, rigatoni norcina, and the sesame steak skewers. Everything was delicious, but the standouts were the dan dan noodles (rich, savory, and packed with flavor), the funghi pizza (crispy with earthy mushrooms and perfectly melted cheese), and the sesame steak skewers (tender, juicy, and coated in a flavorful sesame glaze). The hoisin-glazed pork belly bao buns were soft, fluffy, and packed with melt-in-your-mouth pork, while the rigatoni norcina was creamy, comforting, and perfectly cooked. The grilled gem lettuce was also a fresh, flavorful way to start the meal. For drinks, the white sangria and pomegranate ginger mocktail were both refreshing and delicious. Dessert didn't disappoint either, the flourless chocolate cake (with candied pecans instead of hazelnuts) was rich without feeling too heavy, and the churros were light, crispy, and perfect with the caramel and chocolate dipping sauces. We finished with cappuccinos, which were the perfect ending to the meal. 10/10 experience, we'll definitely be back!

This was probably my fourth visit to Palette 22. The first time I came, I really enjoyed it, but on…read moresubsequent visits I felt the quality had declined, which is why I stayed away for a while. I decided to give it another shot after they brought back their bottomless dinner and introduced a few new menu items. We opted for the bottomless option and ended up trying almost everything on the menu. Unfortunately, nothing really stood out enough for me to order a second time. The biggest surprise was the butter chicken, which had corn mixed into it for some reason. The street corn was also disappointing, lacking the flavor I was expecting. The lumpia and shrimp tacos were decent but fairly forgettable. The dishes I enjoyed the most were the Cubano sliders and the steak skewers, but my favorite plate of the night was actually the chilled udon noodles. They were refreshing, well-balanced, and one of the few dishes I'd happily order again. One thing Palette 22 continues to do well is the atmosphere. The restaurant has a fun, artsy vibe with colorful murals, paintings, and graffiti covering the walls, making it an enjoyable place to spend an evening. The service was also efficient. We were allowed to order two small plates per person at a time, and each round arrived quickly, so there was very little waiting between orders. Overall, I think Palette 22 is worth trying at least once, especially if you go for the bottomless dinner/brunch. The value is much better than ordering the same dishes à la carte. That said, because the menu doesn't change very often, repeat visits can start to feel repetitive. Unless they significantly refresh the menu, I probably won't be returning again anytime soon.

Service was fine and attentive. We like Ichiban and will definitely be back. Sushi and ramen are the biggies here, but there's other stuff too like bento boxes, fried rice and plenty of appetizers. We started out with the miso soup which was rich and flavorful. We also got the crunchy shrimp and crispy shrimp rolls. Both were good, but I especially liked the crunchy shrimp rolls. In addition, we ordered the pan-fried shumai. I'm used to steamed shumai, but I really like pan-fried. The dipping sauce that came with the shumai was tasty. JP ordered the salmon bento box. It came with endamame, pan-fried gyoza, carrots, sautéed onion, broccoli and white rice. The salmon with a nice glaze was delicious and perfect. I ordered the beef bento box. It was the same as the bento box, except instead of salmon, it came with a steak-like cut of sliced beef. This also was an excellent bento box.

Tried the veggie gyoza and the GOLDEN shrimp - that is a must order, so good! they do have Happy Hour from M-FR from 230- 630pm!! such a long HH, you need to take advantage of. The Seared salmon roll from the HH menu was my favorite. The Japanese cream puff was SO light, it was a perfect ending to our meal. The free parking garage next door (library parking) makes it so convenient. Highly recommend for a lowkey dinner date out!
