Tuna steak was amazing. Wine and Pistachio mixed drink were great too. Awesome place read more

The food, service and ambience is top tier! Just perfect! I'm not sure what they do to their English muffins, but worth a return trip!

Finally had a chance to try this very popular new spot in East Liberty and it was well worth the wait. The whole place has a very chic, upscale vibe that feels really unique in Pittsburgh. The food was downright delicious. We loved the fried burrata, the grilled cheese tomato soup dumplings, and the tuna sushi tots. Definitely a place to get a reservation as it was very busy but totally worth the hype! read more

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars! The ambiance was so cute and chic. The food was amazing, we sat down here for dinner and started off with 4 small plate entrees, the focaccia bread plate, the roasted Brussel sprouts, the truffle fries, and the beet salad!! All were SO delicious and fresh. My personal favorite was the truffle fries! For dinner entree I had the Chicken Parm Parm which was a very large portioned plate (definitely getting your moneys worth) and it tasted mouth watering- amazing. The sauce they pour on top and the Parmesan crust was - chefs kiss!!! Above all the service was truly one of the best dining experiences I've had in a while. Our server, Maddie, was so incredible. She was so informative about the menu and entrees and very descriptive which was so helpful! She was also very attentive and we never had empty drinks or empty plates sitting for long. They are really on top of their game here! We also had a small delay in getting my meal in a group of 5 because the kitchen missed it but had it out within 10 minutes of everyone else's food. They immediately brought the mistake to our attention followed by the general manager bringing out my plate and let me know the entree would no longer be charged to the bill for having to wait a few extra minutes. Definitely was not expected but such a great touch to fix a simple mistake!! I will most definitely be back and recommending this place to everyone! read more

We worked our way through seven different small plates (taquitos, short ribs, calamari, grilled cheese dumplings, mini lobster rolls, pommes frites, street corn queso) and can't say anything was above just okay (calamari came close to holding its own), and nothing had a taste that warranted the price. That said, ambiance is fantastic, the plating is instagram worthy, the service is excellent. I can't give high marks to a place where the food doesn't taste good but it's worth a try to see if your palate might disagree with mine, given the potential. If you decide to challenge my conclusion, do so over one of the housemade ginger lemon sodas. While the price almost made me ill (thank goodness for the ginger) the taste was delicious! read more

Everything was fantastic here. Service was on point! Had the beet salad, 3 petite lobster tails, carrots & lettuce wraps. Delicious tastes. Lobster cooked perfectly. Lettuce wrap meat super good. Lychee coconut soda was fire! Key lime pie dessert was large with a perfect blend of tart & sweet. The dishes passing us for other tables looked great also. Definitely going back for brunch. read more

Palm Palm - Roasted Broccoli Caesar - Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Honest review of the most hyped restaurant in Pittsburgh right now... Vibes inside and outside are so great. Super chic, very fun, lively colors, and the bar is beautiful. Of course, the girls and I ordered a bunch of things- the mini lobster rolls, the tuna, the tomato and soup dumplings, the kimchi fried rice, the Cacio E Pepe pasta, and the Brussel sprouts. Surprisingly, the best two dishes were the kimchi fried rice and the Cacio E Pepe pasta. They were both so flavorful and very very well done. I was most excited for the mini lobster rolls, but honestly, they were so small and there was just so much bread. It was fun to order, but I'm not sure how worth it it is. In general, all the food was very tasty, but none of it was anything exceptional or out of this world. I think the restaurant focuses on making a bunch of different items to provide variety instead of providing phenomenal food, but again I'm not saying it wasn't good. The drinks were all on the sweeter side as an FYI. And our waiter was honestly not great. She kind of seemed pissed the whole time. Regardless, I would go back for happy hour to get drinks and discounted snacks just for the vibes. read more

Food was awesome and the service by Elijah and trainee Izzy was so good. We really enjoyed the food on a Friday night. The seabass was so delicious and the Forest Indulgence cake was delectable and enough to share around. The restaurant's ambience is great too, beautiful decor. Loved everything about it. 10s across the board . read more

Sat at the bar. Not too crowded at our arrival around 545. Made happy hour so that was great. Bartender was awesome. Great happy hour food! Big portions. Enjoyed the nachos burger and tiny meatballs in a French onion soup setting. Nice surprise to have managers Bunny and Patrick come over and introduce themselves. Overall great experience. read more

Palm Palm - Meatballs and Nachos - Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary, after reading the reviews on Yelp. Super disappointed and don't understand all the good reviews. Ambiance- This place is so chaotic and loud. I was sitting right next to my boyfriend and could not hear him. It was decently decorated, but small and crowded. Really did not like that. Food- The menu is small. Some things that are on the menu are not currently available. The waiter explained to us that Palm Palm encourages us to get multiple small plates and share and then get big plates and share. The portions are so small, it's really not a shareable size (small plates and large plates). We got 5 small plates and 2 large plates. We were not impressed with the food. I also tried two cocktails and they were not something i would get again. Needless to say after paying over $250 we left hungry. Service- The only stars I gave were for the service, which was great. Our waiter and other staff were very attentive. I was not a fan of this place and will not be back. read more

Came here with a couple of friends and it was lovely! The ambiance and vibe are beautiful, the hosts were so welcoming and the service was great. The food was fantastic! We got: tuna tacos, truffle spaghettios, shrimp ceviche, lobster rolls, tofu lettuce wraps and fries. All was wonderful. Would definitely return. read more

My husband and I came to celebrate our last night before our baby arrives, and it was the perfect date night. The food was delicious! Tapa style dishes perfect for sharing and trying a lot of different flavors. The ambience was modern reminded me of an American Gilded Age and to top it all off we had exceptional service(Herman was the absolute best!). The hostess was quick to get a seated and came over to congratulate us, many times. Herman recommended great dishes, and was overall just a wonderful personality to top it all off. The general manager (Patrick) came over to make sure we had a wonderful evening. I would 100% recommend Palm Palm to anyone looking for a wonderful date night or a good time with friends. read more

Every bite was better than the last! We split a number of shared plates (best truffle fries I've ever had, waygu meatballs melt and your mouth, and don't sleep on the roasted broccoli with caesar). Every inch of the restaurant is beautiful. Bunny checked in on us and Patrick gave us a tour of the kitchen! I can't wait to head back and try other items on the menu. read more

This place is getting a lot of hype right now, but I do think there is room for improvement. First off, this place is an entire vibe - super Instagram-worthy with the interior design and tons of natural lighting. For that alone, it's worth trying one of their delicious and unique cocktails. Our server was attentive and made sure to keep our drinks filled. We had to ask for silverware initially, but then it was replaced as we worked through our dishes. The pacing of the meal was a little off - small plates came out 1 or 2 at a time, but then also with our large plate, which eventually got cold as we were still working on the small plates. Overall, the food was delicious and quite creative. We really enjoyed the mini lobster rolls, sushi tots, and truffled spaghetti-o's. The carrots were overcooked but still flavorful. The brussel sprouts were roasted perfectly, but unfortunately some of the stalk was left on the ends of a few (ouch). Didn't get the chance to try dessert, because we were decently full after our meal. Hopefully they can improve their quality control, and balance the food with the aesthetic. read more

Really fun menu with some new, creative options that you won't see elsewhere in Pittsburgh! Pros: - Cocktails were all great - Bone marrow tartare was beyond fabulous - grilled cheese & tomato soup dumplings were comforting and delicious Room for improvement: - our party had a peanut / tree nut allergy. Upon entering, the hostess had a king size pack of Reece's cups on the stand touching every menu as she sat people. YIKES! - nothing on the menu is marked for allergens. Some things may list an ingredient like pistachio or hazelnut as a main ingredient, but not for allergen purposes. - multiple people delivered small plates to our table and waited for us to rearrange our empty previous plates so they could set down new plates and then walked away without clearing anything. I basically had to bus, and stack plates to be able to continue to order. - bar drinks...we were told they couldn't accommodate allergies because the cocktails are pre-made in batches (oregat in one of the drinks) but they took 10-15+ minutes as premade cocktails and we had to ask for one of them twice and didn't ever receive another drink we ordered and just gave up. What we received was good though! Room to improve the service and allergy awareness before someone gets hurt, but overall it is a fun, new addition! read more

Food - was decent. I went for brunch and ordered the open faced white omelet with spinach, tomatoes, and burrata. The egg whites and spinach were plenty. But a sad lack of tomatoes and shockingly no burrata. The server did bring it after I said something. The server recommended the $7 house made biscuit. It came with butter and jam. It was a savory biscuit though (cheese and chives) so it clashed with the jam. The biscuit was large but dry. I liked the oranges but again for $14 for 2 oranges and sugar it's not quite worth the splurge (make it at home). Everything was overpriced for what it was, but unfortunately that's the trend. Service - service was fine. The server took my order and left before taking my friend's order so we had to call her back. Food came out pretty quickly and mostly correct. A manager checked in with us. Ambiance - it's a beautiful space, they put a lot of work into it. It was not overly packed but had a decent amount of guests. Not sure if the dead succulent on the table was a choice or neglect... Overall, I didn't love a recommendation for a dry overpriced biscuit and the missing burrata, which is the star of any dish (it goes without saying). They have some kinks to work out but hope they do well overall! It's a great location and beautiful space. read more

I visited Palm Palm on 7/8 (a couple days after they opened). I previously made a reservation online. Upon arrival, we were asked if we wanted to be seated inside or out. I didn't realize Palm Palm would offer outdoor seating so that was a pleasant surprise. The rest of my party wanted to sit indoors, so we did. For this place just opening, I was surprised it wasn't wall to wall crowded. I was definitely relieved though because I enjoyed the experience more. I ordered the Palm Palm Margarita which had tequila, Cointreau, agave, lime, and sweet greens. It's an interesting take on a margarita but it worked! My mom ordered the ginger lemon soda and liked it but said it wasn't worth the price ($9). Our table ordered a slew of small plates. We tried: the tuna taco, shishito peppers, oysters Rockefeller, pommes frites & caviar, roasted broccoli caesar, deviled crab fritters, and the guac. Everything tasted great and was presented beautifully! I'm not sure if I can pinpoint which item was my favorite. I'm excited to visit Palm Palm again. It's in the old Plum location and I've always thought that space was beautiful and unique. So excited to have a little slice of Palm Springs in Pittsburgh! read more

We went to Palm Palm on a Saturday evening with a larger group. The food was all very good, same with the drinks but the service was extremely slow. 20 minutes for one drink, some not even arriving to the table until 40 mins later. The manager apologized and brought out an appetizer to share which I thought was a nice touch. I think they could benefit from food/ drink runners instead of leaving the waitress to do it all on her own! Try the seafood skewers and grilled cheese app! read more

Palm Palm is a blast! I'm so glad that something so fun and exciting has taken over this long-dormant space in East Liberty. It's a sister restaurant to Ritual House, so the whimsy and creative food and beverage offerings feel right on par. We visited as a party of four on a Saturday night (we felt like VIPs - so many beautiful people out and about!) and had a lovely table. Right away we noticed that service was excellent and very attentive! Our server was very friendly and helpful throughout the evening. The space is absolutely stunning, with a mix of art deco elegance and flamboyant feathers and bright colors mixed with gold leaf coatings. It really captures a feeling of Palm Springs by way of Miami! We decided to sample a lot of small plates in lieu of large entrees. This was the way to go! We sampled shrimp ceviche, fried calamari, spicy tuna and rice "tots", deviled crab fritters, street corn taquitos, fried goat cheese, pommes frites with caviar, and truffle spaghetti-o's. Not a bad bite in the bunch! For dessert we shared the panna cotta and individual macarons, the former of which had a lovely vanilla and coconut flavor with mango topping. I also tried the Fire and Freza cocktail, which was SO good and interesting! It had mezcal and strawberries and peppers, and it packed a punch. I already can't wait to return for brunch or a special celebration! It's romantic and fun in terms of ambiance, and it was such a perfect spot for a night out with the girls. I'll be back as soon as possible! read more

Palm Palm - Waffle (Aka The Fluffernutter)*No bannana peanut butter on the side* - Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Palm palm is absolutely fantastic and a true experience. Unique cocktails, diverse and delicious tapas (as well as full plates for those who want), and delectable desserts are beautifully presented and like edible art. Get immersed in the mid-century cali vibes and start with their house margarita. Take in the golden hour decor while noshing on brûlée oranges, sushi tots, and the must-have truffle spaghetti o-s. Need a little more? The Korean fried chicken and branzino are both delicious. Just save room for the most beautiful and tasty desserts. The staff is exceptional. One of the best things is getting to see their kitchen as it is open to dining guests. Fans of the bear will love seeing everyone in action (but without any of the stress) read more

Palm Palm - The most stunning and delicious desserts - Bars Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Incredible upscale dining experience! Gorgeous dining area with lots of natural light. The staff are beyond kind and efficient. The food is amazing. We shared eight (yes 8!) small plates and two large plates plus desserts. Really enjoyed the goat cheese fritters, melon salad, grilled cheese dumplings with tomato soup, truffle spaghettios and crab fritters. Passionista and "Ginny in the bottle" cocktails were perfectly balanced. Coconut shrimp with accompanying sauces was worth getting seconds! Branzino fish entree was very creative with roasting then crisping. "Dark desire" and "the orange" were perfect ends to the incredible meal. We took home one of each bon bon and macaroon for tomorrow. Be sure to see the dessert display in the back of the restaurant. Chef Ed, Amanda and Mr. Pollock did Pittsburgh a favor by creating this vibrant dynamic restaurant. Highly recommend! read more

Great drinks at the bar. Food was fresh, flavorful, hot. Beautiful space. Lively atmosphere.

Our visit during restaurant week was truly delightful. Palm Palm exudes a sophisticated and stylish ambiance, creating an ideal setting for a memorable dining experience. A special mention to our waiter, Albie, for his superb attentiveness and friendly service. The menu, although somewhat challenging to define, exceeded our expectations with each dish bursting with flavors and absolute enjoyment. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the crème brûlée, which might just be the most exceptional I've ever savored. read more

This place looks gorgeous. I was never in the brewery the previously inhabited the space which I regret, because I bet the transformation was robust. I think it looks great! The service was great. I was served by a trainer/trainee combo and they were both very nice. The food was decent, but not amazing, with some items much better than the others. We did order small plates only. The lettuce wraps were great, the beef had a lot of flavor. The seafood skewers were decent but not amazing. I had the tuna sushi balls, and they were the biggest disappointment. They weren't bad, but they were very lackluster. My wife had the taquitos which she said were her favorite part. The bone marrow I think was the highlight, it was very well prepared. The cucumber salad was kinda boring, but again not bad. We didn't' have any large plates. I think the selection was kind of boring. It was filled with industry standards, but nothing really jumped out. I can only have branzino and ribeyes so many times. read more

Wow! This was one of the best dining experiences I have had in a while. The staff was incredible, drinks were fabulous, and food was top notch. For drinks, I got the Palm Reader and highly recommend. For food, you must try to truffle spaghettios, goat cheese balls, brussels. Also, Key Lime Pie for dessert was delicious! The restaurant was so beautiful inside - highly recommend for date night, girls night, and everything in between. read more

I popped in for a bite of brunch and of course, the decor struck me immediately. I sat at the bar, and was quickly greeted. The attention to detail (the bev naps, water coasters) before even ordering was definitely noticed. I ordered the avocado toast on a croissant with lobster and shrimp-it was massive and luxurious but still light. Robert took care of me and was a delight. The staff all checked in to ensure that everyone was enjoying their experience (it is as much of an experience for your eyes as it is for your taste buds). I can't wait to try dinner! Also-you can park in the lot on the first floor right next door. I was a little confused at first because of the towing signs but I checked with the staff and they said we could park there! read more

This is an enigma. Why does the owner of a highly rated restaurant insist on slapping on a extremely high fee for a reservation canceled two days in advance? I really wanted to dine here this Friday. Open Table informed me that I would be charged $100 for my party of four should I cancel after 5:00 afternoon. That's a hefty penalty for a table that will likely be easily filled subsequent to the cancellation. It's not like I anticipate cancelling. It's the owner's intent on gouging me if I did. I doubt that I will consider Palm Palm as long as this charge remains in effect. A few hours before I could live with but not 48 hours. read more

The first time here we only ordered small plates and drinks. Since I don't really drink, it was disappointing for this place to not have NA mocktails, given the overall vibe of the restaurant. We were shocked by the small portions. It was all we could talk about the drive home. The food wasn't quite warm and taste was just alright. I went for an event last evening and was floored. We had family style apps, a second course, entree, and desserts. The food was excellent, service outstanding. Jumped to a 5 star review instead of what would've been 3. I recommend getting an entree, there just simply isn't enough food for the price if you split the small plates. If you do only want small plates, go for a happy hour or night cap. I've tasted every dessert on their menu, the orange one is a must. read more

My first impression, this restaurant is very handicapped accessible!!! If you park in the covered garage, take the elevator directly into the restaurant. Once in, the atmosphere is friendly and the staff is very pleasant and attentive. I ordered the bagel and lox which was excellent. I ended up taking half of it home for later. The coffee is great!! I'll will definitely return to try something different soon. I highly recommend Palm Palm. read more

Amazing experience at Palm Palm tonight. Between the excellent food and unique ambiance, it's no wonder this is Pittsburgh's hottest new restaurant. We had the melon salad- outstanding. Great combo of sweet fruit and a creamy goat cheese dressing. BBQ short ribs fell right off the bone. Tuna Tots combined superior sushi grade tuna with perfectly seasoned rice balls - great blend of hot and cold. Blue Fin Tuna is one of their larger plates and it was incredible. Service was excellent (TY Tori) and we were checked on multiple times by the managers and owners. This was one of the most pleasant dining experiences ever. What a fun night. TY so much! read more

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
