    Chocolate cake

    Excellent!! 10/10 every time. Food is always delicious, staff is friendly and I love the changing menu. Brunch and dinner are both fantastic, super cute. Can get a little loud but it's not overbearing and doesn't ruin a meal. Absolutely love this place, a true gem. So unique and fun.

    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!

    Wagyu Meatballs

    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!!

    Grilled cheese & tomato soup dumplings, roasted carrots

    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)
    Ryan S.

    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.

    The Orange Dessert
    Bruce G.

    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.

    The Orange
    Ches D.

    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.

    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.

    Latte
    Ulyana K.

    I came here with a friend for brunch. I know they have several different and interesting menus for dinner as well. The atmosphere is pretty cool; definitely seems to be a bit more on the upscale vibe. In terms of food, I got to try their mango pancakes and a latte. Both were just average. The pancakes were actually quite disappointing. There's only a tiny bit of the syrup on top. The rest is dry and pretty flavorless. The mango did seem to be pretty fresh, though. It just didn't have much flavor, although the portion was pretty good (but also, price wise, it's a bit on the higher side). The latte was also just average; really cant remember much about it. All in all, the place seems to be a bit overpriced, and it's not one I'm likely to come back to for brunch, but maybe for dinner.

    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!

    Ritual Breakfast Sandwich (milk brioche, two fried eggs, smoked gouda, tomato bacon jam, black forest ham)
    Ellen K.

    I always appreciate having easy free parking associated with a restaurant like Palm Palm does as street parking in this neighborhood and specifically the immediate area is limited thus typically unavailable. The restaurant's entrance is on the corner on Center Ave-street level (it's part of a large two-level commercial complex.) As I've been to other restaurants owned by this Restaurant Group, my expectations were low so I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed my visit with some friends for brunch on a sunny warm Sunday in March. Our table was ready when we arrived and service was timely the whole time, no rushing us nor long waits. Having been to Palm Springs, the ambiance decor and vibe is spot on. The brunch menu had several entrees that I was interested in trying and since I enjoyed the Ritual Breakfast Sandwich, I look forward to returning to try another option soon.

    I was pleasantly surprised by palm palm! I definitely went in with some concerns that It was just aesthetic and trendy considering all of the social media rage around It. However, I was quickly proven wrong. While It is very aesthetic & cute inside, the food is top notch. I'd give the Korean chicken a 10/10 as well as the steak with this interesting chimichurri, a style I've never had before. The desserts were good, and definitely big enough to share. For me, the only miss was the grilled cheese dumplings - I've eaten something similar in Vegas and unfortunately these ones close to home came out very dense and lukewarm. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

    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.

Not only is the decor amazing, but so is the food. For brunch we had: The Chorizo Omelette Pork Belly Hash Irish Coffee I can't wait to visit "Twin Peaks" again and try the dinner menu!

The kale salad was dressed well (I hate a salad with too much dressing!), and the almonds, grapes and avacado worked well in it. The broccolini was good--I'm not sure my palate was good enough to taste some of the ingredients! The malfatti was unique! Ricotta dumplings! Yummy. I was worried (not really) that the sauce Americain was going to be velveeta cheese! It wasn't, but it was a yellow cheese sauce. Crème fraiche on the side and Little bits of langoustine to round it off. Yummy! Then we had crab and bacon hush puppies. I didn't know what to expect, and they were delicious with a spicy ají verde sauce to go with it! Finally we had nouja cavatelli. I never make pasta with lemon and it was a nice flavor. Overall another great experience!

We asked for a table…read moresince the bar didn't have enough seats for all four of us and were told the tables were for people eating food but we could sit in the lounge area that's the area to the right of the bar. We were told we had to go up to the bar to order but someone from the bar came and took our orders. The person who carded made a big deal about carding us and would remark on our ages which was kind of weird. We got our drinks and while they were on the pricey side, they were pretty good.

Nice waiter, but it took 30 minutes from when we arrived for us to be seated, order our drinks, and get them (this took the longest). The food was meh. I guess I just had higher expectations. My 'veg' soup was actually a bean soup and had zero condiment...no chz, no crouton, no herb thing...just soup. My dates French onion had two slightly melted slices of cheese...no dark brown coloring on the cheese. This would be an execution problem. My salad had 4 ingredients- greens, squash, nuts and blue cheese...I've seen more complexity and flavor from a eatnpark salad bar. We wanted to order oysters with trout row but was told they were out of the caviar. I will say, the two cocktails we received were very tasty. Enough to bump this from a 2 experience to a 3 . I would definitely go back for drinks and maybe some apps but I'm nervous about the main dishes being underwhelming...we'll see, maybe one day The ambience and views are impressive. Not great service, and not great dishes leave me thinkings even the entrées are gonna be a let down. Sorry

My friends and I visited during Restaurant Week, and the menu looked really great. Boy, was I wrong. The bartenders were also the waiters so service was VERY slow. They had trouble seating my group of 3, and they even sat us right next to the supply cart and refused to seat us downstairs where there was plenty of seating. We ordered drinks, and many of our orders were wrong. I, fortunately, really enjoyed my passion fruit cocktail. We proceeded to order off the Restaurant Week menu. Our appetizers came out, and we all really loved the smoked clam chowder. After that, service went completely downhill. Our waiter was not attentive at all. At one point, he completely forgot about our entrées, and we waited about an hour for our waiter to even realize. I ordered the cacio e pepe ravioli, and they were not great. My friend thought her pot roast was OK, and my other friend really loved the fried chicken. Once again, when it was time for dessert, we waited another 30 to 45 minutes to order and get our dessert. They had forgotten about us again. By that time, it was the end of the night and all the desserts were gone so we couldn't even get what we wanted, which was chocolate creme brulee. They allowed us to order whatever dessert we wanted. I got the lemon bar and my friends got the tiramisu. The lemon bar was so ridiculously tart that you couldn't even eat it. My friends liked their Tiramisu but it was nothing special. In the end, the service was absolutely atrocious, and I will not be back. They did comp us our meals and we paid for our drinks, but I wasted a good 3 hours of my life at this restaurant. The restaurant wasn't even busy, so there truly was no excuse for the poor service.

The moment you walk in, the place smells like smoked wood--so cozy, with a wonderful, inviting ambiance. From the looks of it, the morning was busy with just one server and the chef running the show. As it got busier, the chef was the one who brought us the menu, while the server remained incredibly attentive--smiling, friendly, and present with every table. You would never have known she was the only server working; she never missed a beat. As the crowd grew, the chef stepped out from the kitchen to run food, clear plates, and bus tables. And now, let me tell you about the breakfast--because eggs should never be taken for granted. The eggs were perfectly cooked over medium, with crispy edges just the way I like them. The bacon was spot on, and the cubed potatoes... oh my goodness. Perfectly seasoned, golden brown and crunchy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. For "just breakfast," it was honestly perfect. The teamwork between the server and the chef was amazing--you could tell they genuinely enjoy what they do. The server was extremely gracious, kind, and helpful. This was hands down one of the best breakfast experiences I've had in a long time--good enough that I felt compelled to write about it.
