    Went here for lunch for the first time with a friend. It was pretty bustling and people were seated both indoors and outdoors. You go to the counter to order and pay, and then they give you a number to place on your table. Someone then brings over your item(s). The place had a sleek, modern look to it with upbeat instrumental music playing. I ordered the kids acai bowl. It was $12.95, and I figured it would be the perfect amount for me. My friend ordered a sandwich. The acai bowl was topped with granola and some sliced strawberries. It was good, but not the best one I've tasted. My friend loved her sandwich. They also had delicious looking cookies and I rarely order desserts, but this matcha pistachio cookie just looked so good and unique, I had to try it. It was real yummy. The food here is expensive, on the par of a moderately upscale full-service restaurant. When you pay, an automatic service charge is added. In addition to that, they have the automated tip display that you must go through to complete your payment. Why are they adding a service charge and asking for a tip? All in all, seems like a good venue, just a little pricey.

    Fantastic newish outpost of a healthy food chain. Pricey but great food, ambience and service 5 star food: Brussels sprouts slaw with grilled chicken was simply amazing. It was probably the best single food item I've had so far in 2025. It's pricey but worth it 5 star service: fantastic staffers from the register to the table. I think there were 3 different folks who asked if needed everything and made sure all was ok 5 star ambience: swanky outdoor tables in a classy strip center next to Pottery Barn and near Wholefoods. Inside looks like a slick IKEA ad. I'd like my house to look like this place with the same vibe : )

    We've been coming here every time we visit the area--three or four times each winter--and we always have a wonderful experience. During our visits, this becomes our go-to morning spot every day. The coffee, café latte, and banana bread are all absolutely fantastic! A big shout-out to Jairito--he's a gem of a person and truly goes above and beyond for every customer. I hope the management recognizes what a great team member he is. Highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back soon!

    This place was really SUCH A nice experience!!! From the wonderful servers (especially Jairo) to the food that came out SO FAST!!! The ambiance was so perfect for girls brunch! Definitely will recommend for anyone interested in weaving brunch or a nice coffee and pastry with friends! The food quality was EXCELLENT! And there were multiple options... we were a group of 13 of us, and everything was wonderful, warm, and the staff had the best attitude! Can't recommend it enough!

    We came here on a Sunday afternoon around 3pm. we placed our order at the cashier @3:11pm for four drinks, drinks came @ 3:27pm. Traffic was moderate. We ordered (from right to left) - Iced Americano - Iced Americano with milk and honey - Matcha latte - Strawberry Matcha Iced americano - you can tell based on the color, it's more like tea rather than Americano. Where's the ice? Taste like same coffee grind for third use. Iced americano with milk and honey - still cannot find ice in it. Taste a little better than the other one, second use of coffee grind. Both matcha latte and strawberry matcha taste ok. We told Susi, looks like the store manager about the iced americano, she replace with a cold brew for us. Overall I like the vibe in the cafe. Wouldn't judge about 15mins for four drinks and would not recommend the americanos.

    I can't say enough good things about Pura Vida at the River Market location! The service is top-notch, and the food is incredible. From the moment you walk in, you'll feel warmly welcomed. Camilo, one of the managers, was absolutely fantastic. He was attentive, personable, and engaging, taking the time to have a great conversation with us and ensuring we were enjoying our visit. I can't thank him and his amazing staff enough for their hospitality. We ordered a vanilla latte and their new pumpkin latte, which has a unique flavor that true pumpkin lovers will appreciate. Both were excellent! We also had the perfect egg sandwich on a bagel, which was fresh and really hit the spot. If you're looking for great service and delicious, healthy food, you've got to try this place. Out of all the Pura Vida locations I've been to, this one is by far my favorite. A huge thank you again to Camilo and the rest of the staff for making us feel so welcome and for such an enjoyable experience!

    I just happened to be food shopping when I stumbled upon this location. It was so pretty, both outside and inside. It just drew me in! It was immaculate and clean, and the decor was great. They have fresh and clean food and drink options. While I do feel the pricing is a bit steep, the food I had was delicious. I tried the kale chicken caesar, and it was honestly too much for me to eat. The Caesar dressing was delicious. This was a quick lunch, but a very tasty one. Besides the Miami-like prices, this place was a win!

    I've come here a few times. It's a very nice, modern space. They serve breakfast and lunch (sandwiches & wraps). I love their spicy chai latte. It's the perfect blend of spices and not too sweet. I look forward to coming back for lunch.

    Delicious fresh pastries

    We were greeted by a beautiful building filled with life and serenity. There's a covered shaded outdoor eating area We ordered the match latte, MIAMI MOCHA and a chocolate croissant. The croissant was nothing to write home about but was enough to satisfy a hungry stomach The match latte was good after we added some oat milk and vanilla syrup The MIAMI MOCHA was a refreshing boost for the day

    I stopped in for lunch. It was my first time here. To be honest I almost walked out at first. I entered through the front entrance. Inside their is a big counter. It takes most of the room. I took a few steps foward and was right in front of what it looked like an electronic ordering station. It wasn't and I felt a little frustrated after standing there for a few minutes. Asking around I was pointed to a twisted little line that started from the other entrance. This place does not have a good organization. I witness others like me lost trying to make of where they can order. The line did move a good speed. I got a few things an almond croissant and a coconut guava cookie. I lived that croissant. It was fresh and tasted great. I would order it again. The coconut cookie has little bits if guava inside. It was good and a good cookie, so much coconut. The order came beautifully packaged. I was happy. The staff was great. They had a happy attitude. It seems like a fun place to work. Everyone was busy working there. They did not rush me but I felt rushed because the line growing and the staff moving fast all around me. I wanted to ask some questions. I was glad I didn't walked out. I had good desserts.

The reviews were positive and the photos online looked great, plus I love a good sandwich at lunch time. We ordered the Chicken Parm Pesto Sandwich and the Chicken Cesar Salad Wrap. The Chicken Parm Pesto Sandwich was delish! The bread was soft and fresh. There was ample chicken and it was already cut up to make it easier to eat. The mix of red sauce and pesto was a perfect combo! It was a flavor bomb! There were also huge chunks of fresh mozzarella mixed in. It could have had just a bit more arugula, but this was not enough of a note to really impact the experience. The Chicken Sesar Salad Wrap was huge! All of the flavors were great, but it was very heavy on the kale. The menu said it was supposed to be a mix of romaine and kale, but it felt like all kale. I'm guessing the current lettuce issue was the reason behind that. This is a small sandwich shop but the service was awesome and the interior is really cute. The walls are covered with sweet pictures of customers enjoying their food. I will definitely come back and try more options. They have a display of cookies that looked amazing! I always prefer a local place over a chain, especially when it comes to sandwiches.

The Brazilian Steak Sandwich was absolutely amazing. The meat was flavorful, and there were plenty of toppings, yet it never felt heavy. It was surprisingly easy to eat despite everything that was on it. The Hot Italian was also delicious and packed with flavor. We appreciated that both sandwiches were pressed, which made it easier to enjoy all of the flavors in every bite. The service was quick, with our food coming out in less than 10 minutes, and everyone was friendly. The inside was a little small, but that wasn't surprising for a lunch spot. They also had additional covered seating outside, which was a nice option. Overall, we had a great experience. We'll definitely be back, and it absolutely lives up to the hype.

Instead of just pointing me back to Uber, they went above and beyond to make it right. They honored my order, even threw in a free cheesesteak, and treated me like a valued customer the entire time. The food absolutely delivered. The cheesesteak was excellent, and the whoopie pie was one of the best I've had in a long time. As a New England transplant, I also really enjoyed chatting with the owner. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in what he serves. Great food, great people, and customer service that's increasingly hard to find these days. I'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend giving Wicked Cheesesteaks a try.

    Description We can across this place, well my husband did on…read moreIG a few months back of someone showing the cheesesteaks so we finally got a chance to go. As soon as you walk in you smell the smell of pizza. We were greeted by the owner who was kind and we had conversation with. He mentioned how he from Maine and his family has been in the restaurant business as well as himself for basically his whole life. Once you walk in there's a cashier where you can order and to the right there's a fridge with water sodas and different root beers you can get as well. Once you order there's an entrance to the left with tables and arcade games with tables where you can sit and dine in. I appreciate everything you did for us brian and it was a pleasure meeting you and getting to try the food your restaurant offers. We will be returning again due to the deliciousness of the food we tried the drive from Miami was worth it. What I ordered/tried From Brian's Boston beef sandwiches part of the menu we had north shore 3 way beef Boston beef. This is not my to go choice but it was amazing I would actually go back to try this again. My husband loved it and so did I. It's a bit spicy like very mild where you feel the spice but not where you're regretting life and needing to drink something. We also tried the Philly cheesesteak. This was definitely worth it as well. My husbands stated to being on a mission for the best Philly cheesesteak which is why we ended up here and says this is first spot at the moment and I don't disagree. We also tried the Batman and robin which is like the Philly cheesesteak but it has chicken in it as well. This was as delicious. The truffle fried with garlic aioli was a hit as well and finally two desserts a strawberry cheesecake and chocolate cake made by his wife who is a pastry chef. Both were good but the chocolate cake was *chefs kiss*. Value The value for the food is comparable to other places. Nothing expensive or out of this world and worth the size of food received. Ambiance/Crowd We went mid rain so it wasn't full people were mostly doing pick up or to go orders from what I saw. It's a casual place so leggings jeans is a good attired. There are a few arcade games that can be played including a two player pac man game. Service The service was great? Expectacular? Amazing? These words don't even describe the amazing service we received. We met and spoke to Brian (sorry for not know the spelling) who is the owner and from Maine who spoke to us a little bit about the opening of wicked cheese steak and was very nice to have conversation with. The two workers in the kitchen were kind as well. Parking The restaurant is part of a shopping center so there is free parking we went kind of during the rain so the lot was fairly empty but I'm not sure how it would be on a normal day. 6 year olds thought corner He got some chicken tenders. He says they were delicious. My husband tried a bite of them too and said they were good.

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the owner himself, who is incredibly kind and welcoming. He takes the time to talk with you and recommends dishes he thinks you'll enjoy, which made the experience feel very personal. As a Cuban-American, I've eaten at countless Cuban restaurants, and this is the closest I've ever come to food that truly tastes like my abuelita's cooking. Everything was that good. In fact, my husband and I loved it so much that after going for lunch, we ended up coming back again for dinner the same day. The ambiance is warm and home-like. You'll hear Andrea Bocelli playing softly while you sit surrounded by the paintings on the wall and soft lighting, which makes the whole place feel cozy but still special. It was also my husband's first introduction to Cuban food, and I couldn't have asked for a better place for him to experience it. I'm honestly surprised this restaurant doesn't have more traction because it absolutely deserves it. If we're ever back in the area (we were here for our honeymoon) we will definitely be returning. I would recommend Mario's to anyone and everyone looking for authentic Cuban food and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. You will love Mario and every item offered here!
