   We got to Palm House early on Sunday. Actually, we got there about an hour before it opened lol. But even at 9:30 am, it was a little difficult to find street parking. So if you’re going there with the intent on finding street parking, I’d get there earlier just in case. The restaurant is cute on the outside. Made the restaurant look small. We decided to sit inside cuz it was a bit chilly out. To my surprise, the restaurant is actually pretty huge. And if you think the outside is cute, you should check out the inside! The food was all delicious. Portions I think were just right, however, maybe because I’m older now. When I was younger, I would have thought these dishes for the price I paid would have been too small of a portion. But now, it’s just right. I value quality vs quantity now haha. Anyway, the host and wait staff were all super nice and very attentive. We also got our food really fast. Overall, I’d definitely come back again.

   The food was fine and mostly enjoyable but wouldn’t say it was top tier. The drinks were very perfume-y. They use herbs and certain plants to garnish their drinks which overpower the drink itself. It’s fun if you enjoy that kind of drink but to be honest, I was looking forward to a fun take on a spicy margarita and it was just too much of a different take for me. The music was also extremely loud and it is very difficult to hold a conversation because it’s literal club music blasting throughout the small space.

   My friends and I were here to celebrate my 22nd birthday. The staff were super nice and accommodating. Unfortunately they were out of jerk chicken which is what I wanted to order but everything else on the menu was great! The serving size was good for the price and drinks were yummy and strong. Very cute decor and nice ambiance. Would come here again.

    Our server was the best, I went there to celebrate my bday and the server was very attentive and kept the table clean and asked if we wanted anymore drinks almost every time he came to our table. I wish I would’ve gotten his name because he did a very good job. He brought over a bday shot and even stayed to sing me happy bday.

    My wife and I enjoyed our experience at Palm House. We loved the nice tropical ambiance and the food seemed to range from Caribbean to items you may find in Hawaii like musabi or poke. They also featured Happy Hour from 4-6PM My wife is vegetarian and liked the Smashed Avocado (fresh guacamole) and Brussel Sprouts. I liked the Jerk Chicken and the Avocado Chips . The appreciated the friendly service.

    Five Star friendly and efficient hostess and waitstaff. I saw mostly under 30 crowd smiling, laughing, yelling into one another's faces to be heard, waiting in line - all looking super happy. Food is good. Dishes are as described. Delivery time, certainly reasonable for the level of chaos. What is remarkable? Noise level is beyond loud, it's 140+ Decibel gunshot level, painful. Look around and you see people yelling and wincing and drinking - and mostly super happy. How loud? So loud that after our extremely attentive waiter shouted, "What?!! What???" repeatedly trying to take our order, he seemed about to give up, and then leaned in, raising his voice to a full-on bellow, said, "After work I can't hear anything for a few hours. I have to just sit in my car with no music until the ringing in my head stops." He smiled apologetically, shrugged his shoulders all the way up to his ears, and then taking a deep breath to project his voice even more, he gestured to all of us, mouthing each word with great care, using his fingers to show 1 or 2 or 3 and screaming into my face, "Sorry...can you point at the menu to tell me what everyone wants?"

    Love Palm House, been coming here for years, food and service has always been consistently good. The brunch menu is still one of the best in the City. The Pina Colada slushie is delish! Love the outdoor seating, such a critical option nowadays, especially on a hot day. Highly recommend!

    Every time I pass by Palm House there’s always a line outside. On a heatwave kinda type of day in SF, this place is perfect! Like We’re by the beach. The service is superb…very responsive <3 Chloe, thanks! I highly recommend the the Avocado Benedict (the zucchini crispy bread was die for) chicken sandwich (any side works) … any of their drinks-so refreshing🥂. I will definitely come again and again with friends. And pet friendly ❤️🐶

    We enjoyed our meal at Palm House. Very cute decor both inside and terras. Nice ambiance. Great service. Food overall was good: Grilled chicken sandwich was very good, the Cubano sandwich was okay, but I’ve had better ones. Lemonade was quite sour, it was refreshing but the kids didn’t like it.

    Walked by this place a million times in the 30+ years I’ve lived in the neighborhood and finally decided to give it a try with friends from the UK. The food was OK but one burger was raw in the middle (ordered medium well). Drinks took forever - one was ordered at the same time as the food and came well after the food arrived. We had to ask about the first order of 3 drinks after about 10 minutes. Was worried about drinking because I was driving after lunch - no need to worry, one overpriced cocktail later and zero buzz so safe to assume the drinks are weak (I’m a lightweight by the way). Service was friendly and, overall, the food was average. Won’t be going back - too many better options in the area. Seemed like most of the patrons were either too new to the neighborhood to know any better or tourists.

    We went to Palm House during Golden Hour (happy hour) and had a wonderful experience. The service is exceptional. The staff is professional, attentive and goes above and beyond. The drinks and appetizers were outstanding. We had Ahi Poke Tostadas, Katie Avocado Fries, Sesame Chicken Wings and Coconut Crusted Prawns. The main dishes we tried that were very good: chicken sandwich, shrimp tacos, short ribs.

    I booked this place for lunch on my birthday. I very impressed by the decor and ambiance. Although the waitress was nice, the service was poor. We didn’t really get. Necked on other than taking our order, receiving the food, and receiving the check. The food was very mid. We ordered the masubi…which fell apart as soon as you bit it. The Caribbean bowl was just okay it had their version of “ jerk chicken” which had nothing really special about it we also got the chicken sandwich which I was told was great. The slushies are def top tier. Very strong and tasty

    Ended up going here on the whim. Turned out great! My friend & I tried a variety of cocktails. We liked all of them except for one. Prawns & fish tacos were delicious. Jerk chicken was on the sweeter side vs spicy so that was a miss for me. Servers & host were friendly n helpful. Ambiance is what made it for us. Very cute. Restaurant seemed cleaned & bar was well kept. Looking forward to coming back.

    We got seated right away, 20 minutes had passed and I saw two tables who got seated right after us that got service right away. I had to go ask the hostess after 20 minutes if we could get some help. We ordered right away, food took forever to come out. Our food was cold by the time we even got it. Not a single person came to check up on us the entire time we were there. We saw that the servers were engaging with the other tables, checking up on them, refilling their water. We didn’t get any of that. We had to flag a server down to close us out (who wasn’t even our server to begin with) Majority of the people were Caucasian, we were the only brown people that were put in a corner with no service. The food was ok, could have been better if it wasn’t cold. We also had our 1 year old daughter with us ( who had to wait almost 45 mins to eat)
