Reviews
This was a great night to go here. The happy hour menu has great options to choose from, with some standouts being their black bean hummus and their jerk chicken skewers. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very nice and moody, with amazing art all over to see. Their custom cocktails were tasty as well, with the Ceramics and Sculptures being a nice and sweet option. The employees were all so friendly, a credit to the manager, Scott Bogue, who stopped by table to make sure everything was okay. Our server, named Josue, was very attentive and friendly to our needs and the food came out in a timely manner. The small plates led us to getting a lot of food and the prices for the happy hour drinks led us to get a lot of drinks, which we were not disappointed by. The Crispy Shrimp Tacos and Fried Chicken Sliders were also really great, as well as an unexpectedly delicious crispy Brussels sprouts. This is a place I would definitely come again due to the amazingly positive experience I had.
There were a few misses for me, but that’s the beauty of a bottomless menu. You can explore and reorder your favorites. My friend added a sangria to her dinner, but she wasn’t a fan of it.
If you love variety and sharing plates, the bottomless dinner menu is a great way to sample different flavors and figure out what you’d come back for.
The Unlimited Brunch Situation
They have a taco bar, a waffle bar, PLUS you can order off the menu like you’re on some sort of culinary power trip. Our server was determined to test our limits — bringing out plates like he had a personal vendetta against our waistlines. At some point, I think I saw fear in his eyes because a few of us weren’t stopping.
Bottomless Cocktails (a.k.a. “Poor Choices in a Glass”)
Extra $$? Of course. Did we blink? Not even once. The pours were so aggressive I started hearing the truth leave my mouth unfiltered. By cocktail #3, I was ready to give a wedding toast for a wedding I wasn’t invited to, announce my mayoral campaign, adopt a cat, a dog, AND a houseplant I will absolutely kill in 48 hours.
Paint & Sip — Where Dreams Go to Die and Art Goes to Suffer
We came in ready to paint masterpieces. Cute ones. Frameable ones. Instead, we created visual crimes of passion — art that looks like it needs therapy more than we do. The vibe? “Priced at $40k in a Brooklyn gallery where no one understands it but everyone pretends they do.” People will squint, tilt their heads, and lie through their teeth: “Oh wow. . . . . .so deep”.
⏳ Six Hours Later…
We laughed, we ate, we drank, we painted, we judged our own paintings, we questioned our life choices — and honestly? It was everything.
Pallete 22 swept us into its atmosphere, indulged us like honored guests, kept our glasses full with the enthusiasm of a confident host, and sent us home with artwork that will forever spark conversation — and a few elegant laughs.
The service was extremely attentive, the staff came by quite often, which some might see as great attention to detail, though it felt a little over-frequent at times. Still, the food came out very quickly, which was perfect since I was starving.
Overall, a pleasant meal with flavorful dishes, quick service, and attentive staff — I’d come back for the noodles for sure!
