Great energy, friendly staff, and seriously good drinks. The margaritas and flight shots were my favorites! Can’t wait to come back and explore more of the menu — this place really is a whole vibe.

The vibe is amazing love the staff they are all very welcoming and fun :) I love coming here to drink with friends or to just have a nice meal. The service is always grate. I celebrated my birthday here and our server (Edmundo) was amazing he is fun and was super nice and attentive. I am definitely coming back and recommend you come too 5 stars Because they told me she told me that they were they wanted to go yesterday, but didn’t go because I was gonna do something. That’s why I told you I didn’t have anybody this late.

My friend and I threw a bachelorette girls night out for my best friend last Saturday (Aug 3rd) and we took a party bus with about 12 ladies to Pura Vida. It was several of our first time and I can say we truly enjoyed ourselves. The food came out quick for us to have such a big party and it was fresh and hot. Now let’s talk about these drinks because they were delicious!!! Of course since it was my bestie’s night they showered her with a show with her favorite song and we also purchased a flight with top shelf liquor. We will be back!! Matter of fact the good was so good I went back and ordered a to go order yesterday .

This place is so cute! My boyfriend and I came for a few drinks and they were super quick and nice. The music is popping and the decor is very pretty. We WILL be coming back for dinner as the menu looked super tasty. Drinks are fairly priced and they have an EXTENSIVE tequila selection. Overall a great date vibe :)

Dine in Dinner 20–30The food was great . We only had to wait like 5 to 10 minutes to be seated. It'll be nice if that like a waiting area before being seated. I like the atmosphere. They did play the same songs over and over especially usher In the club. I think they were just using like YouTube or something. But overall great restaurant.Food: 5/5 Service:

My new favorite spot in town! Neo modern decor, perfect lighting, service staff that celebrate with patrons, special dishes that come with a performance, and the best skirt steak I've ever had! Kay (petite with the glasses) took such great care of us! My new habit!

EXCELLENT!!!!We stumbled on this restaurant after our first choice could not accommodate our party of 6 (They were not friendly BTW.) *We were out for our sister friends birthday *The service was spot on. Quick and friendly. The food was fresh, flavorful with a great quantity for the price. We chose from the new menu, lemon pepper wings, shrimp and chicken cesar salads, penne pasta dish, stuffed fish *AMAZING*, lobster alfredo, grilled salmon (added shrimp), calamari, and guacamole n chips. It reminded me of my recent trip to Belize . I recommend getting there early. We arrived around 6:30 pm so the wait wasn't long & the chef was fresh and ready to cook honey! As we were leaving around 9:30 pm, we did notice a crowd and people waiting outside. The atmosphere was beautiful and the music was awesome (a little loud at times). We took pictures at the decorated wall. We had an all around wonderful experience!! Highly recommend and we will definitely be going back.They only hiccup was our waitress was not fluent in english, and this caused trouble checking out because our bills were mixed up and she couldn't seem to get it together.All was remedied in the end and we still loved on her. Her service was great! She was very apologetic.End of story... GO THERE!!!
