   Palette 22 is a total gem — part art gallery, part global tapas restaurant, and 100% worth the visit. The atmosphere is vibrant and eclectic, with colorful décor that gives the place a really creative energy. The food is just as dynamic. Everything is served tapas-style, which makes it easy to try a variety of flavors. Service was friendly and attentive, our server took the time to explain the menu and make recommendations. It’s a great spot for date night, group dinners, or even solo visits if you’re into food and art. Bonus: they offer a bottomless option that’s a great value if you come hungry! Highly recommend and definitely planning to come back.

   Great experience with the all you can eat option. Excellent value, attentive service, tasty food. Very loud music in the dining room and in the patio seating area. Makes for a very lively and fun experience but not the place for a quiet intimate dinner.

   Truly outstanding food. I recommend the price fixed option so you can eat everything on the menu. Don’t miss the churros and the chocolate mousse.

   Took about an hour from when we arrived at the restaurant to get our food. Took about half that time waiting for a server to come take our initial drink order. We did the bottomless dinner and it was great to try all the different tapas! The chicken sliders were my favorite and the Brussels sprouts were also delicious. Would come back!

   Some of the food was very salty, and I find underseasoned food unforgivable so I’m not saying this out of fear of flavor or high blood pressure. Bao buns and pizza were delicious; butter chicken was only acceptable. And overly salty. Scallops were good and not overcooked but had a very salty sauce of some sort. Service was generally very good. Some plates came nearly immediately and others took 15 minutes but we were never without. Server was great, friendly and checked in often. If they moderated the salt levels and nailed the cuisine styles on every dish this would be a 5 star. Still worth visiting.

    I love Palette 22, every time we go to Shirlington it’s our must stop for food. Tonight was to celebrate my bday, and even if we didn’t ask for it, the waiter that took care of us through the night, knew it was my bday and brought candles and sang happy birthday for me. Really a special place, with great vibes. Also, check the paintings too, these’re always great artists painting live.
