Hi Friends,

We have gone to a full QR Code ordering system but don't be afraid, our team is available to walk you through any questions you may have!

We understand that planning is overrated and spontaneity is the spice of life! That's why we always keep availability for walk-ins of groups of 2 or more. Simply walk in and our friendly team will be happy to accommodate you at the door. We now take limited reservations for groups of 2 or more. Please note that while reservations provide a guaranteed table, we strive to accommodate walk-ins as much as possible. Big groups, no problem! However, during peak hours, there might be a short wait time for walk-in groups. Grab a maitai at the bar or play a game of pool while you wait - and hey, you might even meet someone new.

Thank you for reserving with us at Palm House!

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Palm House offers a "fun and easy vibe" with standout brunch options and "great food and music." Guests appreciate the "interesting menu choices" and "delicious cocktails." The restaurant is "super dog friendly" with special meals for canine companions. However, the QR code ordering system can feel "sterile" and limit personal service.

    Palm house was nice! Wasn’t too busy so it was very chill vibes. It was a nice day so it made the experience better as well for the ambiance. Food was good and the punch bowls are good too !

    This is such a great neighborhood gem! They have events all the time including Trivia Wednesday and dog sweater Halloween and Christmas runway parties. The staff are the nicest on Union.

    Food was fantastic and the place had such a fun and easy vibe. But the best part was Sam, the bartender/serrver. He was warm and friendly and on top of everything. Made for an enjoyable night out!

    Great food but with QR code menu, waiters seem to disappear. Still a solid option though!

    The QR code system at the table makes it very hard to communicate with the staff. My order never showed up and there were not many workers around to flag down. I didn’t end up getting my food until everyone at my table had already finished their meals. Also the ordering system had no way of writing a comment. For example I wanted an Arnold Palmer but there was only a button for iced tea and one for lemonade. I couldn’t write special modifications to get the drink I wanted

    I fell for the Instagram buzz. That's on me. The food was good, but not remarkable. The space was nicely decorated and in a good location. The thing that bugged me was the lack of service, which I guess is a thing now. There is basically no service. We had to ask for water and then add on coffee because you have to scan the barcode for the menu. It's impersonal. The thing I really disliked was that you have to pay for everything before you get your food. That's not right. And why would you need to tip anyone? They don't do anything in addition to what they are already getting paid for so...??? The young lady who seated us was pleasant and offered to help with anything, which we appreciated. But, a different young lady brought me coffee and then acted like she was doing me a favor after I asked for cream. An "ok" experience but not what I had hoped.
