    Came with a couple friends post workout and we were able get to seats outside on the patio. I got the chicken plate with extra steak. The steak was surprisingly good but the chicken was dry and lacked flavor. Food came out very quick and the servers helped refill our waters as well.

    So thrilled to find Pura Vida Miami while in NYC! While expensive for a casual place, the food and ambiance were outstanding. I'm always looking for clean, healthy food and it's not always easy when traveling. This hit all of the criteria & more! At one point, I thought, where am I? You'd never know that you were in the middle of the Flatiron district. I truly did feel like I was in some sort of Miami oasis. I'll be back!

    Classic staple spot with good bites. Great place for some clean foods and sandwiches/salads. Healthy and good options. Nice little indoor and outdoor section- recommend

    I'm happy to see that pura vida opened in NY. If you are familiar with them, then you already know the food is expensive for being a casual place. Whether that's worth it to you is your call. It is to me- I like the high quality ingredients. It was a long wait for the food but the math is simple: they had a line at the register and were also doing takeout orders. It's only so big of a place. I think expanding the restaurant to be bigger would ruin the charm and was fine with the 15 min wait. If you just want instant food or don't like lines then maybe don't come. This is a Miami gem and I am so happy to be able to indulge it in while in NY. The interior is adorable, and I smiled big when I saw the fringed umbrellas while walking up to the door - I could spot those a mile away!

    Raspberry croissant and a hot cappuccino. Here Pura Vida does not have skim or low fat milk. As I don't care for oat or almond milk in hot coffee I had to settle for whole milk. Lots of delivery orders are being done. Customer service is good here as a few people came up to ask if I needed anything extra. The first bite of the raspberry croissant was a little hard but now it's fine. The raspberries are oozing flavor and the pastry cream inside is also tasty. I could eat another.

    Wanted to like this place given the hype and popularity but ended up underwhelmed. Waited in like for 15 minutes which from what I understand isn't too bad for a Sunday brunch. Ordered two bowls and two coffees but they got my order wrong and only one drink came out. But this was fine cause even though I said 2 drinks and they only inputted 1, I got the one I was charged for. Managed to get a seat and the first chicken bowl came out about 30 minutes after ordering which was very long but fine. The second bowl never came and we had to ask two separate people before the second bowl came out at around 45 minute mark. The bowls themselves were good but the crazy wait was too much and soured our experience. I understand it was busy but customer inflow control may have helped to make sure the adequate staff coverage to handle the orders coming in. The location itself was bright and clean. While the order took long to come out, they were very quick to take our bowls away the moment we were done. 2.5/5 would be my more accurate personal review though rounding up cause the food was still good.

    Gluten-free kale chicken Caesar wrap

    This is my second time going to this location and I had a much better experience. The first time the establishment was extremely crowded and I waited a long time to receive my order. This time around, there was no crowd and I was able to get my order and sit down. I always order the gluten-free kale chicken Caesar wrap and you honestly can't even tell that it's gluten-free, which is why I love it. They always give me a side of fruit instead of the pita chips. It is on the pricier side for a wrap, but that is most places in New York City. This location is a bit smaller than the other one that I've been to, but they seem to allow people to work there and offer free Wi-Fi, which is nice.

    Food was too expensive for the quality that you get. The portions seemed to be okay but with a fast casual sit down I would think that the prices would be a little lower Service was great and all the staff were super friendly. I came for a quick lunch break and while sitting was checked on multiple times

    SUPER GREENS

    One of my favorite spots in the city! It's a great place for a post-workout meal, lunch, brunch, or catching up with a friend. They also have plenty of outdoor seating. Highly recommend

    Jen's salad with oven roasted salmon...amazing flavors.

    Delicious fresh ingredients featuring bowls, wraps, salads and smoothies. The service and hospitality were excellent and we loved our lunch choices! Had a perfect cappuccino too. The restaurant is light and bright and we can't wait to return!

    JEN'S HERB salad
    Cece Y.

    Terrific salads, but it's best to order in advance via the app because there was always a long line here during lunch EVERY time I walked by for a week! Their salads and smoothies are terrific. I really liked their large menu of fresh, healthy, creative offerings, which makes it great for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There is seating indoors, as well as lots of shaded seating outdoors, which I really liked. Great for people watching while you chow down, but you have to be quick to claim a table. My friend and I came at just the right time, so we snagged one. They really need to come up with a better order pickup system, however, because you have to wait indoors where it gets kind of crowded, and listen for your number, which you might miss. I recommend the restaurant start using those plastic buzzers instead.

    Pura Vida Miami finally opened near my job! There's usually a long line during lunch, but thankfully I can order ahead through the mobile app now. A coworker recommended the spicy tuna bowl, and honestly, it was delicious -- I was obsessed with the spicy aioli sauce/dressing. That said, $26 felt a little steep. I love that they offer so many healthy options, but overall, it's definitely on the pricey side.

    BEEF EMPANADA & COCO AZUL

    Stopped in for breakfast before work and there was no wait! The food came quickly and the service was superb. Everyone was so attentive and accommodating. It was delicious and healthy so I felt great heading into my day. Would definitely recommend the empanada with the aioli.

The vegetarian omelette was thick and fluffy, with a good amount of sliced portobello mushrooms and spinach.

The fruits platter was also excellent - came with a good amount of various sliced fruits (cantaloupe, honeydew, orange, kiwi, pineapple, strawberries, blueberries) that were all very fresh. The milk, however tasted thick and a bit bitter. Not sure if they gave me homogenized milk (3.25%) or the milk was starting to turn bad. Unfortunately I couldn't drink it.

My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

It's $25 for unlimited drinks plus food by the way. Which is sad is a deal these days. Anyway, their happy hour is solid enough for a Monday and was meeting up with a friend I hadn't seen in over a year. Place is actually very cute. There are no tvs which I appreciate and the paneling of the walls and decor with all the flowers is quite tasteful. Happy hour deals 4-7pm Mon-Fri & all night Thursday apparently: Aperol Spritz $8, Hugo Spritz $9, Paloma $10, Mules $9, Draft Beers (except Guinness) $7, House Wine $9. As well as 2 Appetizer Bites for $19.95. Not the best but not the worst. I'm normally not a Spritz kind of gal. I think watering down prosecco or wine is heinous. But it was a Monday and I didn't exactly feel like powering down into happy hour so Aperol Spritz it was which switched to a Modelo later. It was the perfect drink situation on a god awful hot as hell day. We also ordered the fish tacos and what initially were the curry fries but they brought out the Greek fries. I wasn't mad about it. Honestly was torn between the two and I don't send food back unless something really bad happened. But it was essentially a side of Caesar salad dressing with feta cheese and generous amount of herbs on a very sparse and frugal amount of crispy standard cut fries. Now I know why it's a 2 for $20 deal. The tacos were 3 in an order which I guess is typical. They weren't bad but nothing stood out to me. I'd come for the drinks or try something else on the menu.

I can add mustard to every bite instead of all over the sandwich. My son and I split a pastrami and the beef brisket together to be able to sample at least two types of meats. My wife ordered the half corned beef sandwich with a bowl of French onion soup, so we got to sample a bite of each of those as well. Surprisingly we finished everything and still had room for a home made strawberry cheesecake which was amazing.
