    SPICY CHILI CRISP FRIED CHICKEN SLIDERS
    Richard O.

    Wonderful brunch spot off l-395 in the heart of Shirlington. In terms of ambiance, they do a wonderful job in incorporating local artistry into their design and I happen to notice an individual working on her painting while I was there. Staff are friendly and very welcoming to everyone, I had limited knowledge of their menu and they were eager to recommend their favorites to explore. It is small plates or tapas style so I would recommend their bottomless brunch option to keep things wallet friendly plus try their variety of offerings. Currently there is construction going on in the area but there is a parking garage one block over from the restaurant for those concerned with parking. My favorites would easily be the black bean hummus and the churros. Overall I would return to explore more of their menu next time.

    Consistent bright spot in Arlington for over eight years. Fans of the unlimited brunch, decided to give the Monday all day Happy Hour a try. Natalie was great as always, attentive and helpful. The artsy ambience is charming, happy hour food is as good as the main menu, in case you want to sample before going all in. Black Bean Hummus with fluffy pita remains solid 5/5 Chicken Slider 5/5 Pork and Shrimp Lumpia 6/5

    SESAME STEAK SKEWERS

    Palette 22 had been on our list for the longest time, and now we're just upset we didn't try it sooner! 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!

    Late to the party as I knew of Palette 22 for a long time but never dined. I went on a weekday for happy hour with a pretty decent appetite. The focus of this restaurant is on food and art. I saw a man painting when I walked in here and it was very detailed. It is a lively scene in here. Palette is a nice play on words for the art palette and palate for taste. They serve tapas (small plates) for a reasonable price. There is an all you can eat option in which your entire table has to order, or you can order a la carte. I ordered primarily off the happy hour menu which included the chicken slider, shrimp tacos, jerk chicken skewer, garlic wings and for dessert, I got churros. Most of the food here were extremely salty and did not agree with my palate. The shrimp tacos were the best thing I ate as the veggies gave the taco a refreshing taste. Not the most sanitary either as I found a piece of hair in my food. There is a parking garage nearby a block away.

    So bummed that the palette in union market closed down but super thankful that this one exists. Went on Monday to enjoy their all night happy hour and had a time! Love the food, love $40 bottomless food and all that. Service was steady and really enjoyed the outdoor seating area- the vibes were chill and love it!

    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!

    Food was delicious, the serving was much bigger than expected and were very filling! The staff were courteous and attentive. The only reason I am not giving a perfect 5 star rating is cause the AC unit above our table leaked a bit so we had to move seats to not get wet. But otherwise, definitely coming back again!

    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.

    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.

    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.

I went there with one of my friends and we really enjoyed ourselves. It is a nice quiet, hidden speak easy with great vibes. The service was impeccable. The bartender was very friendly and attentive. She gave great suggestions for drinks. We decided on a sour. Which was whisky, lemon, and honey. It was perfectly mixed and served. I also tried the Toki Highball which was excellent. It was rich in flavor and not too strong. If you are really into Whisky King's Ransom needs to be on your list to visit. Unfortunately, we did not order food but the couple next to us ordered the pizza and fries and it looked delicious. The ambiance was great. Its a little upscale with dark lighting. The raised bar and lighting add to the unique experience. This bar is great for date night or just a night out with friends in Alexandria, Va.
