Palo Santo

Palo Santo is a quaint establishment located in a Brooklyn brownstone that serves Pan Latin Cuisine. It is walking distance from the R train at Union Street, & from other eateries that include Rana Fifteen, Dinosaur BBQ, etc. Congratulations to Palo Santo on their 18th Anniversary! Friendly service & good vibes have always been present at Palo Santo. We visited one day during a "Restaurant Week " event & never looked back - lol. Wooden tables & chairs , casual decor & indoor / outdoor dining area all things that make up Palo Santo. You can view hardworking staff preparing & bringing wonderful looking dishes to patrons for dinner & during their brunch service. Palo Santo promotes their long-standing special 3 Course Dinner - ($49 )- includes an appetizer, entree & dessert. The first time hete we had a 3 Course-Dinner - we both had the Mushroom Quesadilla Appetizer, the Skirt Steak w/ Bok Choy & Potatoes Entree & shared a Tres Leches & Papaya Sorbet for dessert. Boy, was everything delicious! Every dish & the service was so good that we have returned numerous times and have had other marvelous cuisin. A 3-Course Meal for $49 is a great price & they give nice-sized appetizer & entree portions. Palo Santo is consistently fantastic.

Restaurant week menu2025Feb experience:Great place for intimate dinner! Open kitchen so be prepared to smell like beef hahaha, love the service and friendly people working. A bit underwhelming for the appetizers, we each ordered the grilled calamari salad and caldo gallego white bean soup, loved the kale in the soup and good flavor, lots of beans. Calamari is grilled extra and some are extra charred i didn't mind, but could be a greener salad there.Small bathroom with sink outside but it was cute the door was very long and handle was low. The entree was skirt steak super yummy grill flavor and i love a chimmichurri, and a lil bit of tomatoes and the patatas bravas was crispy. My mofongo was ok, on the clumpy and dry side with hot sauce flavored shrimps(sofrito picante), i can appreciate the head-on shrimp for extra flavor but i thought it was a bit too cooked thru.Sorbet was deliciously fresh ripe yellow small guava flavor, and the tres leche texture was ok but the coconut chips and the cream on top was yummy.

Love. Love. Love!The food here is remarkable. I was really impressed with their entrees and desserts, which we got from their three course prix fixe menu for $49 per person. I was able to try two of each set as I shared. APPETIZER - Yellowfin Tuna Ceviche (4/5) & Grilled Calamari (3/5)The ceviche was a nice sour. The calamari, on the other hand, was bitter in some random bites (not sure what was making it bitter). ENTREE - Pato En Mole Poblano (5/5) & Grass Fed Skirt Steak (4/5)The pato (duck) was soo tender and well cooked. The poblano tasted amazing with the duck. Just no words. Meanwhile, the skirt steak was good but doesn't top the duck in terms of tenderness and flavor. It comes with yuca fries and queso sauce. Dessert - Coconut Tres Leches (5/5) & Chocolate Pecan Bread Pudding (5/5)Both the bread pudding and tres leches were equally and highly impressive. If they made a bakery or dessert shop, I would seriously visit every day. I also like the small request for feedback when you pay at the end. You can compliment the food, workers or make a small note of what could be better.

I wanted to love this place. Its a small quaint spot. Certain dishes were really good but I wasnt blow away by anything. The service was great.

Went here randomly for a cousin meetup. Pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious and great presentation. Get the ceviche folks you will not regret.

I came in with a group of friends on a saturday for brunch. We had a reservation, and it seemed quite full, so I would consider making one for brunch. They offer indoor and outdoor seating and a pre-fixe brunch menu. We sat outside and started with the bottomless mimosas for the table. Their bottomless limit is only 60 minutes though!The bread they brought out for the table was like a bread/muffin hybrid texture? I cannot explain it, but it had a lightly sugared/browned top and edge and was slightly sweet. It was very unique and we all really enjoyed it!We also had the fish tacos, bean and cheese pupusas, huevos banados, the omelette of the day, and the potato hash. Everyone enjoyed their food and we left happy and full to head to an event nearby!

Palo Santo is a cute, unassuming restaurant in Park Slope. I don't often find myself in Park Slope, but I was meeting a friend who knows the area and recommended this restaurant. It was a nice day, so we sat outside. The outdoor area was pretty standard and felt like a nice neighborhood spot.The menu was simple but had many dishes I wanted to try. My friend, who had been there a few times, recommended the mole. I ordered the mole chicken tacos and added rice and beans. The rice and beans were basic but served with an orange hot sauce that added a nice kick. The chicken tacos were really flavorful, with fresh and crispy tortillas. The mole sauce was amazing, and I highly recommend trying it.The service was friendly and attentive to our needs, which I especially appreciated since we were the only ones sitting outside. I'd recommend Palo Santo to anyone in the area; it's a good, reliable, and casual spot.

My manager and I often dine after spending a day together, and he prefers to stay in a hotel in Park Slope due to ease of getting anywhere in NY and for the huge abundance of good places to dine. I chose this place because it seemed different from some of the other local places. I believe I picked a winner. I arrived 1st, and there was no one in the restaurant at first. The chefs called someone, and the evening began with the hostess, waiter, and customer service person Katie, who was the tip of our great dining experience. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and perfect hostess. I felt her friendliness, and she took it to a higher level. I wanted to play a joke on my managers arrival, and she went along with it. He arrived, and we had a good laugh. After we sat down, I asked, and she gave me her suggestions on appetizers and main meals. I went with both and was not disappointed. I usually don't eat everything, but last night was different. I ate everything. I saw they had 4 choices of Uruguaian wine, amongst and nice selection of wines from different Spanish regions. She described the characteristics of each wine. We decided to go with the Tannat Akardia. We enjoyed the wine very much and even thought it matched with the pulpo (octopus) we had as an appetizer. We also ordered the shaved Brussels sprouts as an appetizer. We we very pleased at both. For dinner, we got the swordfish and the Pato (duck), both of which Katie recommended, and we enjoyed. Normally, we never have dessert, but with Katie's personality, we could not resist and had the bread pudding. We had a very nice dining experience here, and my manager even made a note on returning to dine again! The glue to pur experience was truly Katie for her professionalism and her wonderful personality!!!

I hosted my sister's bridal shower at Palo Santo and cannot recommend it enough! We had the back room and garden to ourselves and it was perfect for that kind of event. The food was fantastic and the service was amazing.Pros:- Amazing food- Amazing staff- Unlimited drinks- Bathroom right by the back room so it was basically a private bathroom- Beautiful backdrop in the big doors and the garden- Free to decorate how we wanted and they let us in early to set up- Very communicative throughout the whole process. Things to note for your own event:- The garden is smaller than it looks. Still a special surprise for the venue but maybe six people can sit out there comfortably. We put gifts out there and let people mingle in and out for photos.- The stairs up to the garden are so steep, so just be careful and it's not usable for older guests.- Food comes out family style and quick, so less table decorations are better so there's room for the good stuff- the food!- the max capacity is 36 people, but we had 30 and it felt maxed out. I think 25-30 people is a more comfortable number for that space.I'd highly recommend this venue just for a meal or especially for an event! Thank you Palo Santo!!

Came here for our anniversary dinner and had a wonderful dining experience. Our server Maria was very knowledgeable and was extremely friendly, especially to our third wheel (our toddler daughter). The food was fantastic - I always appreciate when the chef picks high quality ingredients and let's them shine throughout the menu in different ways. Favorites from our meal were the mussels and marrow (excellent flavors, sauce had a lot of brightness), hamachi tiradito (cuts of fish were buttery tender with a yummy spicy sauce pairing) and the cauliflower side (roasted to perfection with a nice sweetness from the miso glaze/goat cheese). Will definitely be coming back!
