Finally went to Palm Palm and enjoyed the atmosphere, service and especially the food! One word: TrufflespaghettiO's Okay two words, lol, but order them you won't regret it. And since I am doing dry January I ordered a homemade Soda Passion fruit and it was delicious. We had a group of 5 and it's restaurant week so we had a reservation but I am gonna assume any other time you would want one, the place was packed. Such cute decor and the sparkler they bring to table for special occasions looked very festive. We are already planning on going back for brunch soon. read more

From beginning to end, the service is impeccable! We loved the vibe of the place and the atmosphere. It is set up very nicely. Service was phenomenal. Our server was very detailed in explaining the menu and suggesting items, while checking back consistently. Management also came to the table to check on us and let us know if anything is not to our liking, to call them over, but that was not an issue at all. The flavors of the food were amazing, drinks were delicious and we will be back. Not enough good things to say about this place! read more

Back for a second time. Instead of brunch came for Valentine's Day dinner. Well the Friday before valentines. The ambiance at night was warm and beautiful. Not sure if the table decor was specifically for valentines or if it's like this every night. Perfect lighting, tables not cluttered. Minimal but elegant decor. Now let's get into the dinner. SPECTACULAR! The Chilean Sea bass and Teriyaki Salmon was infused with flavors you would've never thought would go with it. The rice that comes with the teriyaki salmon was like a flavor explosion that hits your tongue. We also got the bake potato and Brussels sprouts which both are also very made. Another plus is the Brussels sprouts did not contain pork like most restaurants. Lobster rolls were also delish but the main dishes stole the show. Service was great, all of staff was great. We go there a little early to take photos throughout the restaurant and the staff was more than accommodating. Just go! read more

Where do I begin? The interior decor is just so thoughtfully curated. We love the adorable barstools to the bathroom tiles and bright natural lighting in the dining area. Service was prompt, considering how busy it was around the holiday season with brunch crowds. Our candied bacon, stuffed Hawaiian toast, truffle fries and biscuits and gravy were all so delicious. The orange dessert was so delightfully cute and tasty. Very light and airy. It's a great place to have friends order different items so you can try them all! I can't wait to come back for the dinner menu read more

Loved it! We split 5-6 small plates and then tried one large plate and it was the perfect amount of food and we didn't have a single bad dish. One of the managers came out and chatted with us and the service in general was great. Also it was very reasonably priced - so much so that we couldn't believe the bill! The decor was also super cute and I got some interior design ideas for my house. read more

I had a great experience here for brunch! Our waiter was great: super knowledgeable and friendly. I got the truffle fries as an appetizer and it was delicious!! For the main meal, i tried the ricotta pancake and the avocado toast croissant w strawberries and goat cheese. The portion sizes were huge for both. The ricotta pancake wasn't too sweet surprisingly. The avocado toast croissant was good but there were A LOT of greens, which made it hard to eat the croissant. Other than that, it was scrumptious. Also tried the cold brew and spressy cocktails. They were delicious! Overall a great experience. It is expensive but a nice place to go for a birthday dinner, date night, or other celebratory occasion. read more

Palm Palm - Ricotta pancake & avocado toast croissant - Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Took my mom to Palm Palm for a nice brunch, and left disappointed. The flavor of the deviled eggs was off (and I'm a deviled egg lover) and the texture was super rubbery. We tried the cold brew drink and their take on an espresso martini. Both were really sweet, which isn't for me, but if you like sweet drinks, the espresso martini was the better of the two. The bagel and lox dish was overwhelmed by shallots. The crab in the Crab Benedict was tasty, but the poached eggs were super undercooked. Our server was very sweet, and the space is beautifully designed, but the meal definitely fell short of my expectations. read more

I recommend booking a reservation through opentable. Went with my wife to celebrate our final date night before our newborn! Right when we walked in the hosts greeted us and congratulated my wife (I added a note we were celebrating on opentable). They were so pleasant and welcoming. The vibes inside are great. A new age upscale modern American. Our server Herman was awesome. Very knowledgeable and provided us with excellent recommendations. They have a lot of tapas options to choose from. Plus you can get complimentary sparking water! We also went with the Waygu steak that Herman let us know they get their meats from the strip district. Even the GM Patrick stopped by our table to make sure the night was going well. This is what you want when going out to a restaurant, a true experience where you leave with a smile on your face! read more

We need more than 5 stars to rate our experience at Palm Palm... we had the BEST time! We made early dinner reservations for a Saturday night, and from the moment we walked in, the staff was so friendly and attentive. We started with drinks followed by a handful of tapas to share. Each app was better than the next. Seriously, we did not have one that wasn't delicious! Everything came out quickly and was piping hot and fresh. The menu has some unique options, as well as some basic dishes, so there's truly something for everyone. On top of the amazing service and top notch food and drinks, the ambiance and vibes can't be beat. It's the perfect backdrop for all your IG pics and super cute for a girls night or date night. We will definitely be back! read more

Good but not worth the price. The food was attractively plated but some items were out of stock. What I REALLY did not like was the noise. My husband and I had to raise our voises to even hear each other. The Korean fried chicken was fair but a bit dry. read more

Palm Palm is a new restaurant in East Liberty! Parking was pretty easy - there's a parking lot right behind or street parking available. For happy hour, you have to sit at the bar or the lounge area. It was very busy for a Wednesday night so definitely make reservations! I had the homemade ginger lemon soda and it had really nice flavor. I had the buffalo chicken sliders and they were super good - not too spicy. The fried goat cheese was SO good and I loved the pesto that came with it. The truffle fries were also delicious. I ended the night with the dark desire dessert - very, very good but super rich so definitely share it! Our server was so attentive and friendly. Overall this is a great new spot in Pittsburgh! Not to mention how cute it is inside! read more

Okay, okay. So it's kitchy. Maybe it's a restaurant for the 'gram. Sure, sure, so why not enjoy it in all of its vibeage? The service was some of the best I've had in a while. I got on the open table app and tried to reserve a spot, but it was so new that it didn't allow me to sign up but for being on waitlist. The morning of, I got the spot for three. Worth it. The food was tasty, flashy, photo-worthy. Did they put candied bacon on some weird mini stock to show everyone how naughty it is? They did. I did mistake the bruleed oranges for the orange dessert thing? I did. That's fine. I'll be back. Are those real ostrich features on the ceiling lights? They are. Worth it. read more

Palm Palm - Stuffed Hawaiian Roll French Toast - Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I've been dying to try Palm Palm since it opened. I thought restaurant week would be the perfect way to sample much of the menu. I made a reservation for bar seating. This was strike one for me, reserving bar seating to me means a seat at the bar not a lounge area with tables knee high. That said the server did her best to keep up but she was also acting as a bartender for the packed restaurant and there were times we had to wait for follow up (or a red wine for my friend's dinner). That said, the food I got to taste was delicious. The toasted cheese dumplings were amazing and my favorite! I could have had 50 of them. The salmon was perfectly cooked but due to menu drafting left some wanting of color on the plate. The only thing missing from my meal was the crème brûlée which was the whole reason I selected the restaurant (besides wanting to try it). It was heart breaking as I witnessed other tables smiling and eating such a magnificent looking dessert. All and all, maybe restaurant week was not the right time to try as new place, but I'd give it another chance. read more

Such wonderful service! Our server was Leah and she was fanatic. Very knowledgeable of the menu and offerings and provided great feedback. We were celebrating our anniversary and were excited to try a new spot in town! We got a variety of small plates and an entree to share, but the stand out item was my pistachio martini! The make the drink in house with their own syrup and it's so good! Such a fun trendy restaurant, set with mood lighting for a nice dinner out. read more

Excellent. There were a number of vegetable forward small plates, and you could certainly make an evening of sharing a series of small plates with friends. The cocktails were both interesting and well crafted, and I'm not even much of a cocktail person. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The space itself is also sufficiently spread out that it didn't feel cramped. All told, it was a good experience. In terms of atmosphere, I was worried that the restaurant would be a touch on the stuffy side. That really didn't seem to be the case. It leaned a little bit in that direction, and you definitely seem to need reservations, but the general vibe was at least somewhat relaxed. read more

Not sure where all the good reviews are coming from. Place is all mediocre. Yes, the room and space is beautiful. Food falls flat. Needs a lot of work- menu is all over the place. Things were ok but not great, and underwhelming. Super expensive and small portions. It took $340 (with tip) to get full!!! our server was fantastic- she was the star of the meal. Cocktails were good. An Instagram restaurant. You get your pics and go once and it's a one and done read more

The owner, Herky, saw my original review and reached out to me regarding my experience. He apologized profusely for the miscommunication of the price of a special and invited me to come back and really pulled out the red carpet treatment. Everyone on this staff, the owner, chef, and service staff are all very dedicated to providing a peak experience. Also the chocolate raspberry dessert, I forget the name, might've been the best dessert I've ever had. The sweet/bitterness of the dark chocolate with the tart raspberry and all the textural differences of the mousse, hard chocolate, and cream is the thing of dreams. Palm Palm is the place for all occasions, everyone should try it out at least once, and I can almost guarantee you'll want to come back. read more

Palm palm is a wonderful experience! Our server Brandi was the sweetest. She was really attentive and had great suggestions. The Ginny in a Bottle cocktail is maybe the best cocktail I've had in Pittsburgh?! The combo of yuzu, lychee and gin is excellent. My sushi tots however are why I had to knock a star. The tots were undercooked and the dish came with barely any fish at all. I think for the price point ($19) it should have been better. I appreciate the glamorous and stylish decor and that there's a happy hour that knocks off at least $3-4 from their cocktails! read more

The atmosphere was wonderful and perfect for a summer evening read more

This new East End joint nails it. The menu is biased toward tapas but there are certainly some lovely full-portion mains as well. We suspect the menu is likely to change dynamically depending on what is in season and what suits Chef's fancy, so rather than comment on specific dishes we thought it more germane to note that menu composition is thoughtful and fun, and kitchen rendered nicely across the four plates we had. The food here is really very good. Our cocktails were excellent; our group sampled four and found each of them lovely and as represented on the menu. Palm Palm is clearly focused on front of house. Our server was gracious, engaged, and comfortable commenting on both the food and cocktail menus. Front of house was *very* well staffed. They had enough people to make light work of running all of the tables. Physical plant is open and lovely: lots of natural light and some nice views of the surrounding streetscape. It can be noisy but it was never too loud for easy conversation which did not require raised voices. We will definitely be back. read more

Found THE SPOT where every hour is golden hour -- from Palm Springs to Pittsburgh Checked out the brand new Palm Palm in East Liberty and I'm obsessed. Think mid-century Palm Springs vibes meet California + South American-inspired menus -- and it works. From the shareable small plates to the dreamiest cocktails, every single thing I tried was unforgettable (and yes, I'm already planning my next visit). Cocktails: Can't Elope -- cucumber vodka, cantaloupe purée, Domaine de Canton & lemon = light, refreshing, perfection Passionista -- vodka, Passoã, lemon passionfruit simple, prosecco = paradise in a glass Favorites: Street corn taquitos Fried goat cheese Shishito peppers Lettuce wraps Top 3 = truffle spaghettios, grilled cheese & tomato soup dumpling, roasted broccoli Caesar (elegant, nostalgic, delish) Dessert Dreams: Nutty by Nature pistachio cheesecake w/ blackberry + raspberry sauce Key lime pie -- will be dreaming of it forever The space? A vibey lounge, stunning dining room, gorgeous bar, and two private rooms for group hangs. They're also doing weekend brunch, so guess where I'll be Saturday... Palm Palm | East Liberty Make that res ASAP! read more

I have been lucky enough to dine at Palm Palm twice so far this summer, once on a Friday evening and once on a Sunday late evening. Both experiences were very good. The Friday evening experience we booked a table for 8, unfortunately 2 in our party were unable to attend at the last minute due to illness but the restaurant took it in stride. In fact, we were seated in a stunning private room through the kitchen! One of two private rooms (that I saw) that are situated through/in the kitchen. There are glass walls and doors so you have an epic view of the kitchen. The second experience was a small party of 3 and we were seated in the equally beautiful main dining room. The service experience was also top notch, it truly felt like a high end dining experience due to the professionalism of the staff (plus the decor). The menu was fun, dozens of small plates to choose from, less large plates but a good variety in both categories. I actually think the menu is a bit too large, slightly overwhelming and there is not an obvious food genre that I can nail down. The food was good, but not as good as the service and ambiance would lead you to believe. I hate to say this, but some of the items felt like bar food and I think if the menu was refined the execution could be perfected and the food would be as outstanding as everything else they have to offer. I will definitely be back, and highly recommend. read more

WOW. A favorite new spot in Pittsburgh, the food, service and overall vibe was beyond! Despite being at one of the busiest PGH intersections, Palm Palm really transports you to a calm environment, even on their patio! It's hard to begin to the review the menu. The Short Rib BBQ, Key Lime Pie and mini lobster rolls are definitely top of my list with an honorable mention for the brûléed oranges because they were so different from a typical PGH menu. This is THE spot for a date or girls nights. Having such a broad selection of easy to share plates was amazing. Such a broad selection is perfect for people who like to try and pass, even thought things were so good I can't say I had an easy time passing along the Fried Rice and soft shell crab special! The desserts were OUT of the park. You might be tempted to fill up on the mains, but leave room. You can take small and large plates home but you have to try the Key Lime pie and Citrus & Sesame. Just like the main menu, desserts are easy to share too! And the special occasion sparkler was such a great touch. Perfect to celebrate, and so photogenic from the bar to the lounge area. I cannot wait to go back and try their brunch! read more

Met up with a group of friends to have brunch at Palm Palm on a very, very snowy Sunday. The elevator and parking access were perfect for this blustery day. Inside the restaurant was light and bright and you almost forgot you were in the middle of Pittsburgh. To warm up, I started with the Cold Brew brunch cocktail. The flavors blended well and were a perfect amount of spice on a cold day, and the whipped cream on top was luscious and creamy. As we looked over the menu Jake, our server, was excited about the food options and went into detail about his favorites and must-haves. He shared a bit about the design choices as well as the restaurant ties to Ritual House in Downtown Pittsburgh. We started with the bruleed oranges and the deviled eggs. I am still thinking about both of these dishes! The deviled eggs tasted like ones I would make at home, and the bruleed oranges had the most unique flavors and textures that we were all trying to identify. I selected the Crab Cake Benedict and ordered a side of Breakfast Potatoes. Everything was delicious with the benedict and the potatoes were perfectly seasoned. The potatoes could easily be split between a second diner. We all enjoyed taking pictures and enjoying delicious food. I can not wait to go back and share this place with others. Even the bathroom had gorgeous colors and textures, plus near floor-to-ceiling partitions for better privacy. Overall, I much preferred the vibe and the seating of this restaurant versus Ritual House with some of its smaller and tighter seating options. read more

Last night my "going out to eat club" went to Palm Palm. We could not have been more pleased! We did have an early reservation and it initally was not crowded but the server was excellent! She even took us through the kitchen to show us the dessert selection. In case you were wondering the kitchen was immaculate and well organized. We had some craft cocktails I do not recall the names but mine had blackberries in it and was great. Then we proceeded to go though most of the small plate menu. What I liked was they were fine with us ordering one or two dishes at a time. The plates were cleared and replaced promptly. We had the meatballs, crab fritters, oysters, lettuce wraps and the spaghetti o's and the lobster rolls. I honestly could not tell you what I liked the most. For dessert we had the almond torte and dark desire. Both desserts could easily serve 3-4. We will be back! read more

This place is an awesome (and much needed) addition to Pittsburgh dining! I'll jump right into it- The food was amazing. We got: Kimchi fried rice, Shishito peppers, Roasted Carrots, Short rib BBQ, Sweet corn Taquito, Wagu Ragu, Shrimp Ceviche. Every single thing was phenomenal, aside from the ceviche (this was very dry). Otherwise every other dish was packed with flavor and mouth watering. Drinks- the cocktail menu is so good it was hard to choose. Everything we ordered was tasty. The bar area is super cute would definitely recommend this place even for just drinks. The atmosphere was also really cool and probably one of the things I'm most excited for since Pittsburgh in general is lacking this kind of upscale, trendy vibe. ** There is also a large patio for outdoor seating! ** Our server, Soleil, was attentive and honestly seemed like a very kind person. She definitely added to our amazing experience and we were happy to have her. 10/10 in all areas. We will definitely be back! read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Pittsburgh, my mom and I went to palm palm for brunch and we had to go back for dinner to try their dinner menu because it was that outstanding! The food is like a asian fusion, the flavor profiles were on point and i am absolutely obsessed with their homemade sodas. The service was amazing we were sat down immediately and our servers were super attentive both of our visits. We even got complementary truffle chocolates as a celebratory gesture for my pregnancy, it was very sweet. The restaurant is very beautiful and perfect for a celebratory meal. read more

I had a fabulous time at Palm Palm!! I went with 5 friends and we shared a bunch of the shared plates as well as several desserts and everything we tried was delicious! I was also super happy with the amount that I spent in comparison to the amount of food that I got and it was so much fun to try a bunch of different things. The whole vibe was so fun and summery, it was an amazing place to spend an otherwise uneventful summer Monday evening. Our server Charae was phenomenal. She was incredibly attentive as well as super fun. She offered to take several pictures of our group and also brought postcards and matches for all of us to take home. I highly recommend Palm Palm and hope to be back very soon! read more

This spot was great! First I will suggest making a reservation - I went on a Thursday and it got full fast. The staff was amazing! Our waitress was so kind and attentive, plus two managers came over to check on us and make sure we had a good experience. We were sat right up front by the entrance, so I didn't feel like I got to explore the place, but from what I saw it was adorable and so trendy. I got the lychee coconut homemade soda for my non-alcoholic beverage and it was delicious! Then we got the regular (non-truffle) French fries that had so much flavor. I chose the grilled cheese dumplings and the truffle spaghetti-o's, and honestly both small plates exceeded my expectations! I was also surprised that I was full afterwards, which was good. We finished off by splitting the chocolate cake and wowwwwwww it was so delightful! The mousse was so light and fluffy, some of the best I've had in a long time. I truly can't wait to go back! read more

I had a very enjoyable experience at Palm Palm. I went for my birthday dinner around 4:30 on a Sunday afternoon. We were a party of 6. We were greeted warmly and sat a beautiful table right away. The vibe there was immaculate, beautiful lighting, and furniture. We all collectively ordered many things from the menu. From being able to sample most of the menu, I give the food a 3/5. Some of things were just very under seasoned or overly seasoned. My favorite, by far, were the truffle spaghettios. I would return again just to have these. We also had the Caesar salad, the truffle fries, French onion meatballs, seafood skewers and Brussels sprouts. The meatballs were not a hit for our group. We let the server know and he allowed my guests to order something else. The manager also came to speak to our table to see how they could better the meatballs. I LOVED the service and attention to making things better. The seafood skewers were fantastic for the first few bites but were too heavily seasoned. It made it hard to get through these. Overall I would return and order a few of my favorites and give the specialty drinks a try. read more

Located in East Liberty Palm Palm is a nice addition to the Pittsburgh dining scene. Focusing more on small plates and table sharing this place delivers with great selection and taste.

We then split the flat iron steak and was seasoned perfectly. Great for a nice night out or dinner with friends read more

Palm Palm - Dark Desire cake - Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I was finally able to get a reservation here on a friday night! They are always busy so definitely book your reservations early! This restaurant is located in East Liberty, sort of under/next to the parking structure near the market district. So there is the parking lot which is great. I will say I didn't love the ambiance in there. The lighting was weird and was my main issue. I see what they are going for but it felt weird to me. It was also quite loud as others have noted. Our service was good. We ordered some cocktails (both were very good). Then we ordered quite a mix of small plates and one large plate to try. Overall everything was quite tasty (albiet on the slightly pricier side). We tried Bruleed oranges (from Ritual House, I love these but they are on the sweeter side), Street corn taquitos (they were just meh), Roasted carrots (good), Truffle fries (obsessed- love that they serve the little truffle oil on the side to add as you like), Caesar salad (very good, what you'd expect), Grilled cheese and tomato soup dumplings (tasty and cool to try at least once), Truffle spaghetti's (YUMMM - if you like truffle this was fabulous), Waygu meatballs with french onion and gruyere (surprisingly good), New Orleans oysters (good if you like oysters), and lastly the short rib (was very good but we were so full so had to take most of it home). I would definitely return but maybe opt to sit at the bar and enjoy drinks and small plates. read more

Overall delicious and I would come back. The food was delicious and came out quickly after ordering. The fish was full of flavor and was very satisfying - something on the plate was a bit salty though. We also ordered (not pictured here) the kimchi rice, calamari, New Orleans oysters, and muscles. I would come back to taste more on the menu and would eat the kimchi rice and oysters every day. Our server was top notch but the overall service vibe was a bit much- I'm guessing new restaurant jitters. It didn't affect our experience though. read more
