We decided to celebrate Christmas Eve at Palo Santo and it was a lovely choice! The food was fresh, delicious, and vibrant. If I had to narrow it down to one thing they do exceptionally well, it’s the different sauces! They make each dish special and exciting. Our favorites were the shrimp, the artichoke, and the carne asada.
The holiday beverage options were fun and festive, although I would love more non-alcoholic warm options. Warm herbal tea to cut through the heaviness of the meats would be delightful! The tequila cart experience was paused for the night and it was sorely missed. I would definitely recommend it if it’s available when you go – it’s so much fun.
The service was kind and efficient. The ambience was festive although I would’ve appreciated the music to be a little less loud – it was hard to hear each other at certain points in the night. We had a senior citizen with us and it made it hard for her to participate in the conversation.

Another amazing experience at Palo Santo!
Every visit to Palo Santo is a reminder of why it’s one of my favorite spots. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service is always attentive, and the food is consistently outstanding. Every dish is beautifully presented and full of flavor — you can tell there’s real care and creativity behind each plate. Whether it’s a casual evening or a special occasion, Palo Santo never disappoints. Can’t wait to come back again soon! Thank you Bella for the great service.

My husband and I enjoyed celebrating our anniversary here! It was our first time and I doubt it’ll be our last! The atmosphere was amazing, so cozy and intimate. The food was incredible! The steak tartar was an amazing starter (I had never had it before). I got the lamb chops and my husband got grilled octopus. I again have never had lamb, but I can’t imagine it getting any better than that! It was cooked perfectly, the sauces pair beautifully with it, and the presentation was spectacular! My husband loved the octopus and said it was perfectly grilled! They even brought us a churro dessert since we were celebrating our anniversary. So kind, warm and inviting. We’ll be back to try more amazing dishes! Highly recommend!

Palo Santo is a true gem in Atlanta. The food was absolutely amazing,beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. Every dish we tried impressed us. The service was just as great: friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing, which made the whole experience even better.
One small tip for future guests: I highly recommend taking an Uber or Lyft, as parking in the area is very limited. Other than that, everything about this place was fantastic, and I can’t wait to come back.

Maria was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we were seated, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel right at home. Her attentiveness was exceptional—she anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and checked in just the right amount without ever making us feel rushed. Maria’s knowledge of the menu was impressive, offering thoughtful recommendations that turned out to be perfect choices. Her friendly, upbeat personality made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. If you’re lucky enough to have Maria as your waitress, you’re guaranteed excellent service and a wonderful meal.

The restaurant is in an odd location where they won’t even allow you to get dropped off by Uber. It’s very awkward. However, once you’re inside, the vibe is cool and the food is creative and edgy. The seasonal cocktails we tried were great. Most (not all) menu items were gluten-free, or they were without the sauces, although there were no gluten-free desserts, so I wouldn’t suggest this place for a birthday or special occasion if you’re gluten-free.
It is pretty loud and there were also a few people at the bar filming themselves with obscenely bright LED lights. When we asked the waitress if they could be redirected away from our table, she said there was nothing that the restaurant could do about them.
One other thing I would note: the restaurant smelled fantastic, but the bathrooms had a disgusting, sulfur odor that everyone at our table noticed. I don’t know what was going on or if it’s always there, but it was impossible not to notice, and other guests commented on it in the hallway of the restrooms as well.

Excellent dining experience. The restaurant has beautiful decor and an upscale atmosphere, with a thoughtfully curated menu featuring several high-end options. The drinks were well made, and both the steak and roasted chicken were exceptionally tender and flavorful. The steak had a touch more fat than I prefer, but it was still very enjoyable overall. And of course we took pictures at the sun. Lol

Exceptional dining experience. Highly recommend. Took my wife there for date night dinner and then upstairs to the rooftop bar and danced the night away to a great house music DJ.
-Insanely delicious cocktails
-Amazingly flavorful food
-Sensual ambience/soft lighting/decor
-Exceptional service
– Attentive, professional bartenders, servers and server support staff
– Their server support staff are impressive. They keep things flowing w/table setups, timely water refills, pre-bussing, etc.
Often the invisible/thankless job in restaurants, I gotta say, at Palo Santo they execute flawlessly all night with a smile.
Highly recommend.

Food was beautiful and delicious in the restaurant. The rooftop has definitely more of a club vibe, not an outdoor dining dinner vibe. The kitchen staff had great service, the bar missed some communication. We weren’t able to order all of the drinks we wanted to enjoy with our dinner.
