I had a great experience at Pura Vida Miami. The place is clean, and has a really nice, relaxed vibe. A special shoutout to Cristina, who took care of us—she was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect. Her service truly made the experience stand out. The food was fresh and delicious. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it
It honestly feels like you’re in Miami even though you’re in New York — the vibe, the music, the whole atmosphere is very fresh and relaxed. The food was delicious and everything tasted really fresh. Simple, good flavors done right. And Glow, our server, was great — super kind and attentive. Overall, such a good experience. We’ll definitely be back.
Beautiful decor, very clean space, and the food was excellent. My only complaint was that the staff seemed a bit cold when I came in for a to-go order about 30 minutes before closing. As someone who also works in the service industry, I completely understand that late orders can be frustrating, but it’s always best not to let that show. Overall, I still enjoyed my experience and would definitely come back for the food.
