Bonne ambiance pour un verre en famille

I came here with a fellow foodie to try the SF Restaurant Week dinner menu on the weekend. We had a reservation, but they informed us that they had already sold out of the items. Unfortunately, there wasn't an option to reserve spots specifically for the SF Restaurant Week set meal.

While we were disappointed that we couldn't try the items on the special menu, we found several other items on their online menu, available via QR code on the table, that sounded good. We tried the brussels sprouts and coconut shrimp as appetizers and got the pineapple fried rice as our main dish to share. All the food was great and priced fairly.

What's nice about the online menu is it allows you to request certain ingredients of the dishes be put on the side and even split the check with other dinner guests. This place gets an A+ for service and efficiency.

The only issue other than the SF Restaurant Week menu not being available was the high level of noise inside the restaurant. I sometimes had to yell a bit to talk to my friend, so it would've been nice if things were a bit quieter. I think next time I would opt to eat outdoors when it's warmer, as it seems calmer, and the outdoor patio in front of the restaurant is beautifully decorated and gives a vacation vibe.

It’s been awhile since I last ate at Palm House. My colleagues from other locations were coming for a statewide conference here in the city, and it just so happens to be SF Restaurant Week. The menu looked good so after showing it to my colleagues, we decided to have dinner there.

Well, looks like there was some miscommunication. The waitress said that the kitchen found out last minute about the restaurant participating at restaurant week and so they ran out of many of the items on the restaurant week menu, so they stopped serving it…. I appreciate the waitress apologizing on behalf of the restaurant and promoting the menu so we can come back later on in the week. Well, the conference ends on Tuesday afternoon, so unfortunately my colleagues won’t be able to make it as plans for dinner for the time here have been set.

So we ordered off the regular menu. I got the Luau Bowl with teriyaki chicken. It was okay. The teriyaki sauce was more on the sweet side, which is fine, and on the thicker side. Chicken was a little dry. The edamame and pineapple didn’t have much flavor. I enjoyed the salad. I did eat almost the entire plate as I was hungry.

I also ordered chips and dip to share and that was pretty good. The chips were very crunchy and the dip was nice and oniony.

Menus are now available when scanning a QR code and you can easily split the bill. This helps since we’re here on business and we can easily pay for our own portions and get reimbursed accordingly. But since the menus are online, we didn’t get much service, aside from finding out they stopped the restaurant week menu. No one checked on us to see how we were doing.

I like the tropical vibes of the Palm House. It would’ve been nice to sit on the patio to dine al fresco, especially because it got so noisy inside from just one party celebrating a birthday. But it was chilly and they hadn’t turned on the heat lamps. Plus, the bartender said we can choose from one of the three tables, so we just sat there.

Whenever I pass by the Palm House during brunch hours, the place is always packed. Considering I had a mediocre experience for the two times I’ve dined here for dinner on a restaurant week, I should probably try their brunch on a regular day.

A lot of my friends ask me for restaurant recs, and I’m a bit embarrassed for recommending this place out of the many menus I looked through for restaurant week. I was hoping things have changed since the last time I ate here years ago, also during a restaurant week. Restaurant week is supposed to showcase the restaurant and a chance to get more regular customers. I had a mediocre experience the last time 9 years ago, and unfortunately I had to delete that review to make room for this one. I’m disappointed I had a mediocre experience again.

But maybe brunch is their forte.

Really fun spot! Loved the laid-back vibe. They have a pool table too in the back. Service was great and staff was knowledgeable on various vegan options. Got the vegan harvest burger but unfortunately I didn’t really like it as the combination of flavors in the patty didn’t work well together in my opinion. I’ll be back to try other vegan options though!

Food was creative and tasted good (huevos rancheros, avocado benedict, spicy chicken sandwich). Seems incredibly understaffed though

Karina was amazing! Great drinks and a fun place for a night out!

Pretty cool. Wish they had more vegetarian options on the menu. Food is pretty solid. The drinks are great.

Cool Area, and looks amazing outside and inside. Beautiful outside seating under cover so even when it rains you are welcome here. Crab Cake Benedict 5/5 and Bloody Mary 5/5 were to die for! Great service 5/5 friendly atmosphere, and parking was surprisingly easy to find. We meet the woman owner, and her daughter who was so sweet to us. First time coming here and definitely became an instant favorite. Definitely recommend checking this spot out. ❤️

Really pretty place- felt like I was on an island. Drinks are great, happy hour deals seem good too! Food we got was pretty good

So good. Had the smash burger and it was so delicious

Cute place with a good atmosphere. We went for a drink and to play pool, $2 cash for a game and $5 for three games.

Fantastic food and drinks!

I had the most incredible time at Palm House! Fatima was the most wonderful bartender I have encountered. This is a great place for drinks, food, and sports.

Bring your big puppies.

We had a really good time here for dinner with cocktails and chicken burgers ????
Staff was really friendly and we liked the heated “covered outdoor area” in front of the restaurant were the music was less loud if you want to just talk and eat ????
The portions could have been a bit bigger especially for the loaded fries and the cocktails had too much ice

This place broke my friends real ID and was super rude about it. Ruined our night and his week

Great service!

Palm House SF is a vibrant spot that captures the essence of a tropical getaway right in the heart of the city. My visit here was marked by an indulgence in their delightful champagne flights, perfectly complemented by a generous serving of avocado and house-made chips. The main course followed suit in quality, contributing to a satisfying culinary experience.

The restaurant's theme is a standout feature. It strikes a perfect balance between bright, sunny, and fun, without crossing into the realm of being overdone. This cheerful and inviting ambiance makes Palm House SF an ideal venue for brunch with friends or family. The lively atmosphere, coupled with the delicious food and drinks, sets the stage for a memorable dining experience.

However, the popularity of Palm House SF means that it gets busy quickly, and securing seating can be a challenge. It's a testament to the quality and appeal of the restaurant, but it does require some planning and patience.

One aspect of my experience that stood out was the service. While it was decent overall, I noticed a distinct difference in the attention given to regular customers versus new guests. As a first-time visitor, I felt somewhat sidelined compared to others who seemed to be regulars. This created a slight disparity in the welcoming atmosphere typically expected in such a vibrant and lively place.

Not perfect but pretty close, the food was exceptional, both in terms of flavor and creativity. We started with the smashed avocado which was basically guacamole with an assortment of chips (tortilla, plantain). This was probably the only misfire. The guacamole had been sitting and also lacked some punch (more lime, please). However, our Little Gems salad with avocado, smoked almonds, valencia oranges, pickled red onion, togarashi vinaigrette was terrific; really spicy, creamy and flavorful. The crushed almonds added great texture. Only ask is for more avocado please! The mains and sides were really great too. had the jerk chicken and it was epic: the chicken was incredibly succulent; just the right balance of tender and juicy. It's soaked in the spicy marinade for 10 hours and it showed, the flavor was off the chain. My wife had the macademia nut mac n cheese and tried a bit, it was solid. She loved it. We also tried the spicy fries and they were good but what set it apart was the deliciously sweet mango ketchup. Yum. Service was fine, typical Marina vibe. Really cool place overall, we're looking forward to returning and trying the brunch menu soon! July 2015.

Für SFO super, tolles Ambiente, gute Qualität.

Such a cute place to grab a drink or some food. Highly recommend popping in if you are in the area!

On a hot summer day, this place offers the right drinks and food, 4 flights of champagne with a generous amount of avocado with house-made chips, the main course was good but the wedge salad was very small for the price with some mini tomatoes, besides that, drinks and food were great.

Beautiful restaurant in downtown San Francisco

We came with a big group for brunch. I had the avocado Benedict, which was good but not super flavorful. The Brussels sprouts were also fine, not the best. They took a while with our drinks and ended up getting drinks after the food. I enjoyed the Palm 75. Nice decor and seating for a big group, and the service was overall nice and efficient .
