What a great addition to the Pittsburgh restaurant scene. No matter if you are celebrating a special night or if you just want great food and service, there is never a bad time to go to Palm Palm. A location that has great parking in a fun neighborhood. From the moment you walk in the door you are welcomed by a team that has a great attention to details. Warm, welcoming and accommodating. The decor is as fun as the menu. I love the small plates. The variety is outstanding. The truffle spaghettios are not to be skipped. As is the Broccoli Caesar. We tried many dishes and I must say that there were no disappointments. I asked the manager for a tour of the private rooms, he graciously showed me around and took the time to point out the fun details hidden in the decor. They are perfect for small -medium groups. You would think that they would be loud. But one slide of the glass doors that over look the open kitchen and you cannot hear one thing. Watching the team cooking is part of the magic. Run don't walk! Palm Palm is a must go in my book. read more

It's our new social occasion place! Celebrated our anniversary there. The food was excellent, atmosphere was festive, service was top notch. It's also a very chill place for happy hour with small plates. read more

Everything at Palm Palm is beautiful and delicious! I don't know whether to rave more about the lovely staff, the gorgeous platings, or the amazing flavors in each dish. The Passionista cocktail was a perfect start. For our first visit we decided to explore the small plates - each one was worth the visit. Crab rangoon dip with crispy wontons, bbq short ribs, grilled cheese and tomato soup dumplings, deviled crab balls, chicken and burger sliders, and oysters rockefeller. Despite having no room for dessert, we ordered the "dark desire," a delicious work of art. Can't wait to return! read more

Very impressed by this restaurant! The small plates were delish (definitely small so order more than one) and the large entrees were also done super well. Incredible and kind service from every staff member. And it may be the prettiest restaurant in Pittsburgh. Can't wait to go back! read more

Went to Palm Palm twice. Both times were spectacular. The host was very friendly and knowledgeable about everything. The wait staff made great recommendations. The food was beautiful and delicious. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

The food was delicious and the portions served were ample. The food tasted quite flavor full. The staff treated us very well and our server "Brandi" was attentive and personable. The ambiance in the restaurant was spectacular! Take particular notice in the bar area ie. the chairs in the bar and the ceiling. The "vibe" makes you feel that you're glad you came. When our server Brandi had finished with our check and we were about to leave I gave her my "highest" compliment that I give about my first time visit to a restaurant. In the words of " The Terminator", Arnold Schwarzenegger" I'll be back" Terrific addition to the restaurant scene in Pittsburgh. We were there for brunch and I was impressed with how those attendees were dressed and the variety of the folks who were there and came in while we were dining! I can't wait to go and feel the vibe there while during dinner. read more

Today I visit this establishment for Sunday brunch with my girlfriend. This was our first visit. The young lady that greeted us was not very pleasant, but she warmed up later. Once seated we had one of the best servers ever her name was Diamond. She was such a joy and very personable. We enjoyed her authenticity and the way she cater to our needs. The food was awesome ass well . I'll give it a 4 1/2 out of 5. We will definitely be back, only if Diamond is our server. read more

The whole place is amazing, from the atmosphere, to food, drinks & the service! Herman S, went above and beyond to make the whole dining experience with my friends and I amazing! cannot recommend this place enough! read more

Came in for brunch and had a wonderful experience. Our bartender Anastasia was delightful

Food was excellent, I loved the fried goat cheese and truffle speghettios! I expected to see some Palm trees and plants or waterfall. I was disappointed. read more

First, our waiter was excellent. And they had a large staff. We shared small plates -5 for four ladies. Perfect. And since it was a birthday, we shared the pistachio cheesecake. Delicious. read more

Awful food. Really did not like my experience there. Extremely expensive for what you get. Place is nicely designed and the servers were great. But the food was so salty. Could not stop drinking water all night. Nothing we had was good. read more

All tasty small and large plates. Helpful server for our first visit. Will return with high anticipation. Warm ambiance. Only small problem- the food came all at once instead of pacing the plates. read more

Beautiful spot & I can see that they're aiming for upscale, but every dish felt like someone had a great idea with no idea how to execute it. We recently moved from CA so I was hopeful it would be on the level of the places we enjoyed in the Bay Area, but it was a letdown, especially for the price. We had oysters, shishito peppers, deviled crab fritters, and tuna steak with cocktails. Oysters and shishito peppers were both fine, but the crab fritters were tough instead of crispy outside and soft inside. They randomly sprinkled quinoa on them, which didn't make sense with the dish which desperately needed some additional texture and flavor. The tuna was well cooked but the accompanying sauce was very sweet, as was the rice. The cocktails were not great either, I had a margarita with green juice that just ended up tasting like a green smoothie and my husband had the Fire and Fresa which was overwhelmingly sweet rather than spicy. $150 later, we were still hungry and went to Kelly's for snacks. I was really hoping for a new local hangout but it feels like the whole restaurant was created for instagram rather than reality. The staff was all very nice, friendly and definitely hustling. Fun atmosphere but very noisy; we couldn't hear each other even at the bar. read more

I was not impressed with the food choices portion we're a bit small for the prices the decor was nice they offer outside seating but I would not recommend to a friend read more

The food was absolutely phenomena! We ordered 6-7 plates and everything was delicious. Our server Tori was fantastic! She recommended drinks & food based on what we told her we like. She even helped with our photography because this place is INSTA-WORTHY!!! read more

Fabulous food, as it is with all their establishments, great service and a unique setting. Absolutely love this spot as I do Ritual House, their spot downtown. You will not be disappointed! read more

All courses were delicious. The Tuna Sushi Tots were deconstructed sushi, excellent thought I would have liked a little more tuna. The Fat Crab and Corn Chowder might have been one of the best soups I've ever tasted. Each sip had distinct flavors of the ingredients, finishing with a little zing from the Chow Chow relish! Chef, you must put this chowder on the regular menu, or call me whenever you're going to make it! One of my Palm Palm favorites are the meatballs, served in an escargot type dish sitting in a tad of onion soup. I could order several of those to make up an entire dinner. The Sea Bass was perfectly cooked and seasoned. So tender and moist with a bit of a crusty topping. The taste and portion was worth every penny. Creme Brulee and Dark Desire desserts, fabulous ways to end the meal. The food was served hot, but nothing over cooked. Service by Sadie was great despite a crowd! read more

Stopped in to check out the new place a few weeks after shakedown and check out the vibe. The restaurant is beautiful and well thought out especially the bar area as well as a great outside patio. I had a few small plates. The bartenders were prompt courteous, friendly, and knew the menu. The food was delicious and arrived promptly, as well as being priced reasonably in today's world. Plenty of parking in Shadyside is an advantage. Check it out! It's super. read more

My Girl Posse and I are always looking for a new restaurant/bar for our next outing. Saw something on social media about this "new" restaurant Palm Palm. We booked the reservation while I had "reservations" myself on going to such a new place on the 8th day of the opening. Wellllllll Herky and company knocked this one right out of the park!!!! Two days prior to our plans I received a confirmation call on our reservation -- what a delighted detail! Walking in I got a complete sense of enchantment that brought back lots of memories from the 60's and 70's --- Yes, I'm the elderly lady within our group! From the front staff to the servers to the bar staff to the owner to the manager to the head chef --- it was beyond wonderful. We were all greeted with such grace and confidence! Extremely impressed by the wait staff with the knowledge of the menu and truly impressed by the complementary appetizer from Herky! Our table was extremely comfortable and spacious; us gals like to spread out with our purses and such! The drinks were just a tasty as they were pretty!!! We most all had decided to eat of the small plate side of the menu. .The presentation along with the taste was fantastic! Then came time for dessert --- us gals were ready! We each had something different they went beyond uniqueness. We were visited again by the Manager Kenvin and he was surprised none of us had ordered the Key Lime Pie nor the "Orange" Another surprise came out of the kitchen both of those desserts for us to try ----- After a wonderful meal, great drinks and even better conversation with my Posse --- we were treated to a complete tour of the restaurant --- everything from the story behind the art work, to the very organized and clean kitchen was brought to our attention. We all were in awe over the private dining areas, yet kind of felt the same way --- the main part of the restaurant and bar is where the action truly is. We then found ourselves getting ready to leave --- as we each had to go containers full of extra dessert -- we were given a post card --- YES that's what those born in the 60's and 70's did -- we sent postcards to our loved ones when we were away on a vacation. Once I got home that evening I sat down, collected my thoughts and wrote that card out to myself in remembrance of what a fantastic evening it was. Not only was I with some of Besties but Palm Palm you got it RIGHT!!!!! Look out Herky --- this gal will return!!!! read more

I had high hopes, but to be honest, it was mediocre at best. I should preface this by saying Palm Springs, California is one of my favorite places and I travel there yearly. Other than the decor, it was a poor representation of the desert city. I was hoping for an intimate atmosphere, but, it was so overcrowded inside. It reminded me of the chaos of a food hall environment. It was so loud that you could not hear the company sitting at the table with you. The servers were confused and running food to the wrong tables. I had to flag them down for every item we ordered because they were wandering around aimlessly. You could also see that they were arguing amongst themselves. We ordered approximately 10 small plates. Plate presentation was on point. As for taste, none of the items were exceptional. I may be a food snob. For the regular Pittsburgh folk who have never left the area this restaurant may be all of the rage. Also, the bathroom was out of toilet paper. I know it's the first week and many kinks will need to be worked out. In my personal opinion, Palm Palm had the potential but missed the mark. read more
