    I went here with a friend after dinner for happy hour, not too busy but we were only able to sit in the lounge or the bar seating. We were still able to order as normal though. We shared the lobster rolls, truffle fries, and brussel sprouts. Everything was good! Great spot for happy hour, date night, or girls night. Super cute inside as well. It is on the pricier side but the smaller plates are good for sharing if with a larger group!

    Such an amazing restaurant with great food and fantastic service!! Let me start by praising the ambiance of this place. It's definitely giving Palms Springs vibes! I felt like I wasn't in Pittsburgh for an evening. The decoration was and vibe is so cool. I went to celebrate my friend's birthday and Palm Palm did not disappoint. I'm very impressed by the service and very pleased with the food,m. We had Oysters, fries, caramelized oranges, bread & jam. It was all so good! I can't even pick a favorite. I also want to thank them for arranging a fun large candle with our desserts as a surprise even though it was such a short notice. I highly recommend this place! Will definitely be going back.

    We had a family dinner over here - made a reservation of a private room near the kitchen. This is such a fabulous restaurant. Everything we ordered was delicious and impressive! We loved the roasted carrots and beet salad as starters, the orange was delicious too, they served cod tonight and it was excellent with the nutty topping. The mussels and scallop, served with rice cake was also tasty. Then we ordered several desserts, my favorite was the pistachio cheesecake, and it came with a big volume. Our server was very charming and she celebrated the night with some fireworks. Having access to a private room was so nice for the family setting so we can hear each other more easily. I really loved my overall experience tonight. Too bad there is only five star.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Harissa Shrimp (4.25/5)

    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.

    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.

    Wagyu Meatballs
    Stuart H.

    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!!

    They have done a nice job with the decor. I'm not sure how well the outside seating works with traffic noise but they did as good as they could. The Korean Fried Chicken was quite tasty but the spice level was on the high side. Baked Potato was huge and a bargain AND really good. The Orange dessert was special. Certainly worth a try just for the look even if you're not a white chocolate fan. Service was as to be expected from an established top of the line restaurant.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Oh. My. Gosh. Smashed Waffles is giving FULL on (brunch any…read moreday of the week) energy! We tried: Cereal Thriller Quilted Pig OG Happy Go Lucky Smashed Browns (get the sweet & spicy sauces on the side & mix them together.) ya welcome! Troublemaker (with cold foam) Honey Buns (with cold foam) And listen... everything was amazing but if I had to pick (which I don't want to, but if I had to...) #1 Happy Go Lucky #2 Cereal Thriller (If you want to be a big back like me,try them both together. Thank me later! ) What really made the experience even better than just having great waffles, was the people. General Manager Sharon and Assistant Manager Kelsey were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed excited to help. The owner Len was EXTREMELY responsive to my email & text inquiries (which honestly is rare these days.) As a small business owner myself, I notice and appreciate that kind of effort immediately!! This place is absolutely underrated. Between the amazing staff, the aesthetic Instagram/TikTok worthy storefront, and food & drinks that are ACTUALLY delicious (because sometimes places only nail one or the other ), they've got the full package! Plenty of seating inside & out. clean bathrooms, self-service kiosks but they also have a register if you are lazy like me. Parking can be a little challenging, but there are several nearby garages that make it manageable. 10/10 experience. So grateful we got the chance to try smashed waffles. Pittsburgh needed this spot.

I ordered a coffee, a savory waffle, and a sweet waffle, and everything was delicious.

The cinnamon roll coffee I ordered was also fantastic and a very smooth and sweet drink. Everything was fantastic, and the owner was extremely kind and welcoming. I will definitely be back!

It was vibrant and full of energy, and the staff was attentive, ensuring our visit was comfortable and orderly. I'm so happy that my husband & I visited around 9am, because we were seated right away. We came hungry, so we quickly placed our orders, and the food arrived shortly after. The food was excellent. We both ordered the Spicy Chicken Omelette and it was very good. The chicken was flavorful and cooked well. It wasn't spicy at all. Even the breakfast potatoes were crispy and lightly seasoned. And our beverage, two Peach Palmers, was lightly sweetened and refreshing. This cafe is a good place to visit if you're in the area. Plenty of street parking, quick and efficient service, and reasonable prices. I highly recommend it.

We stopped by this location of Pamela's and instantly, I felt like I was transported into a retro 50s/60s diner. The multi-colored walls are decorated heavily with old-school board games.

SAUSAGE & CHEESE OMELETTE + Lyonnaise potatoes (side) + whole wheat bread (toast) The sausage & cheese (we asked for Swiss instead of American) omelette itself wasn't anything worth raving about as it was pretty typical. However, the Lyonnaise potatoes were phenomenal. It's that in between "hash and mash" texture, and it was seasoned incredibly well. The potatoes were definitely the highlight here, and the omelette was good protein, I guess. Definitely forgot about the whole wheat bread.
