Restaurants near Shirlington Shopping Center

Great ambiance! Staff was very friendly. Food was really good (pork chop and steak salad). Very nice selection of bourbon and beer. I enjoy coming back to this place each time.

Lovely birthday brunch for a friend at this low key spot in Shirlington. The pasta was delicious and we were treated to a lovely glass of wine. My friend enjoyed her cheesecake but my Circus Maximus dessert was just a little too much for me. Ice cream, brownie and meringue piled high was more than I could handle. The ambience was great as it wasn’t too crowded so we could speak at a moderate level. I’ll return to try more of the menu.

We rarely eat more than one course when we go out to eat, but decided to try the Valentine's Day Aphrodite dinner, and it was worth every calorie. Every course was light and delicious, but the pimento? feta with pita was out of this world. And all served by a really wonderful waitress.  It was really a delightful and delectable Valentine's Day dinner. 

Palette 22 is now our go-to restaurant. Each dish is well-prepared, flavorful, and represents the country of origin. The service is always polite and responsive. Tip: you can order a few dishes at a time. You do not need to place your entire order at one time. This allows you to enjoy each dish more slowly. We like taking turns ordering 2 items at a time. From last night, my top picks were the Sesane Steak, Lebanese Tacos, and the Funghi Flat Bread.

Excellent service. Quality of the food was adequate. Very pleasant atmosphere.
