We had a great time at Palette 22. The food was great, and the service was good as well. We had the bottomless brunch and there was a variety to choose from. The drinks were on point. We will definitely return!

The customer service is great, the food is always amazing. The deals are about as dumb as it gets. They only serve $1 mimosas for ONE hour for ONE day, Sunday @ 9am. Making it absolutely pointless and honestly feels insulting towards customers. “Bottomless brunch” is only the food, every mimosa is +$4

Great spot to check for groups. Not many “breakfast” options but all food was delicious. Unlimited mimosas are not at this location.

Went with the unlimited selection special and we enjoyed our selections. Unfortunately, It was so loud in the dining room I had a hard time hearing my companion. Please do something about the noise because I'd like to return, but am leery because when you want to talk and can't hear it's hard to enjoy dinner.

Small plates, many flavors to choose from. Recommend the brussels sprouts, dan dan noodles, papaya salad, shrimp tacos. Lively, fun atmosphere with paintings all over the place and an artist doing her art in real time near the bar.

If you are not ordering the all you can eat brunch this place is not worth it and the service is not set up well for the aka carte option. Our server hardly was helpful - no water or coffee refills - and the food came out at haphazard times
