The food was fantastic. I enjoyed everything that I had. However, I realized after I got to my last dish, the Dan Dan noodles, that I wasn’t going to be able to finish them. No problem, I thought, I’ll ask for a box to take them home. Well, Palette 22 has some screwy happy hour policy, that unless you are eating indoors you cannot get a box to take your food. Unless you’d like to pay for the box which will cost you five dollars. The Dan Dan noodles cost nine dollars. Also, if you were sitting outdoors, you cannot order food off the happy hour menu. What exactly is the difference between sitting indoors and outdoors that you cannot get the happy hour prices while sitting outdoors? Are usually like this restaurant very much, but this really annoyed me tonight. My friend spent a lot of money on dinner for my birthday. We could’ve at least gotten a damn box to take on the noodles.
Perfect Tapad dinner option
Thank you so much for the great review! We hope to see you again soon.

We’ve eaten at Palette 22 numerous times, though our last visit was over a year ago. We were so disappointed on this visit to discover that the quality and preparation of the food has gone way, way done. I suspect it is due to the bottomless dining option, which basically turns this restaurant into an all-you-can-eat buffet. It was very obvious that the plates are prepared in advance, not as they are ordered. Plates came out literally minutes after we ordered them - no way did the kitchen have time to cook them to order - and numerous items were room temperature, at best, with stiff, congealed sauces. We also used to love their cocktails, but our drinks were basically expensive fruit punch - syrupy and sweet. Still a fun restaurant, but there are much better options in the DC area if you’re looking for fine-dining tapas. Bummed we wasted a very rare night out on this place.
First visit here, we had a great time, good value especially the unlimited brunch
Hi, thank you so much for the great review! We are so happy you enjoyed your first dining experience with us! It was a pleasure serving you and we look forward to many more visits.
We can't wait to go back and dive in to the bottomless option! The food was delicious, the service was fast!
Thank you so much for the amazing review! We are thrilled you enjoyed the food and service and we hope to see you again soon!
The idea of bringing different small dishes (3 at a time) is golden. Everything was delicious! Will definitely go back again.

The food was amazing. I tried the mushroom pizza, Shirataki bao bun, roasted sweet potatoes and churros. The pizza was my favorite but all of it was delicious. All the food came out very quickly and our server was great. Would definitely recommend.

Went out for a rare date night in advance of Valentines Day and were treated like royalty. The food came almost as soon as we could think it, hot and delicious. The cocktails were as unique as the art on the walls and as pleasing to the senses. Will definitely go back there often!

Everyone thing was great! I did have a mishap with the bill but other than that I have no complaints. Would definitely go again.
Thank you so much for the great review! We do apologize about the mistake but we are so happy you enjoyed your time with us! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Very good overall. We did the bottomless dining which is a great selection but the full cost for our 14 year old who doesn’t eat that much was tough to take. Most of the food as usual was excellent. The pork skewer was slightly dry and we never got the special duck breast kabob that we ordered but overall just about everything here is great. There was about a 20 minute timeframe when our waitress was nowhere to be seen which was a problem and again a bit of a lag when we were ready to pay our bill. Otherwise it would’ve been 5 stars.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review, joel! We greatly appreciate your feedback and we apologize that we were unable to provide a five-star experience. We have shared your thoughts with our management and culinary teams so we may work to improve. We hope to see you again soon!

Palette 22 is my favorite restaurant in Arlington! Never disappoints. The ‘All You Can Est’ deal is a game changer. The birria tacos and Dan Dan noodles are MUST GETS!

Excellent service! Some of our brunch dishes were a little cold, but everything was very flavorful. Bellinis were tasty and a good price. The table behind us was extremely loud, making it hard to hear enjoy conversation or hear each other (certainly no fault of the restaurant). I’d definitely come back!
Thank you so much for the great review, Chloe! We are so happy you enjoyed your time with us and we greatly appreciate your feedback so we way work to improve. It was a pleasure serving you and we can't wait to see you again!
Awesome as usual!

Great experience. Loved the food.
Thank you so much for the five-star review! We are so happy you enjoyed your experience and we hope to see you again soon.
This was my second time brunching at P-22. It is a really good option for bottomless brunch especially with most places not having dine-in options due to COVID. It gets really busy but I was seated fairly quickly every-time with a reservation. Once the food gets to rolling in, it’s non-stop almost. The food tastes pretty good as well and I was not expecting good shrimp and grits from a bottomless brunch spot. Surprise! Def recommend trying this place!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We throughly enjoyed reading about you time with us and we are so happy you enjoyed the Bottomless Brunch! It was a pleasure serving you and we hope to see you again soon.
The food is really good but the service was terrible bc there was none! We had to flag down waiters to order.
Delicious and great service! Tacos, empanadas, beef skewer and lumpia were especially delicious.
Thank you so much for the kind review! We loved reading what dishes you enjoyed the most and we are looking forward to seeing you again soon!
Celebrated a friends birthday at Palette 22. Everyone had a great time. The all day menu offered a wide variety of food selections that met everyone’s preferences The food and mimosas were outstanding and the waiter staff was professional and attentive. A definite place to go for great food and service. Everyone in the group stated they would return again!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We enjoyed celebrating with you and we are thrilled you enjoyed your time with us, from the service to the food. It was a pleasure having you and we hope to see you again soon!
Great brunch menu, and quick/efficient service outside on the patio for those of us still braving the cold weather for food outdoors during a pandemic.
Thank you so much for the five-star review, Brandie! We are thrilled you enjoyed your time with us and we are looking forward to seeing you again soon, hopefully in warmer conditions!
It was good but the menu has changed and not for the better. Some of the items weren’t as yummy as we’d remembered all of the other times we’ve gone.
Thank you so much for your honest feedback. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review and we will work to improve. We have shared your words with our culinary team and hope you will give us another opportunity to impress you.
Can't beat a bottomless brunch with great tasting food, fast service, and a friendly environment. Only downside, we had a reservation for 2 people at 2pm and had to wait for about 15 mins outside (it was pretty cold, in the 30's) for the table to become available but otherwise everything else was great. However I did notice that other bigger parties with reservations were also waiting for their table to become available and some had waited for about 40 mins. Not sure that I would have stayed in the cold that long so maybe we lucked out.
Thank you so much for the honest review, Leesa! We are thrilled you enjoyed the Bottomless Brunch and the service, as well. We have shared your wait time experience with our management team so we may ensure this does not happen again. It was a pleasure serving you and we hope to see you again soon!
