Budget Friendly in Bal Harbor, but no bunting…read more.. My running friends and I ended up here Saturday after sporting nearby and finding our first choice closed. The prices looked like a steal and we walked in. However, it's a case of getting what you pay for. I had to remind the server a couple of times about my café con leche / latte. My omelette platter while handling my hunger, could have been nicer presentation wise. The turkey was just a slice or two of deli meat, probably straight from the packet. The omelette was just a folded "sleeve" of eggs. I usually have enjoyed omelette with some peppers or tomatoes mixed in and not so plain. Foodwize, the only winner was the chocolate croissant.

It's more of a counter than a cafe. No one checked on me after the food was delivered. No warm…read morefuzzy feelings here. The turkey club was okay. I heard they make the flan in-house, but I didn't try it this time. I didn't get a chance to try their coffee either. There are a couple places that have been established a bit longer. I think they need to step up their outreach to bring customers into the place. Maybe they could try some promotions or offering samples of their sweets when people order a meal.

Pura Vida is officially on my list of go-to spots for excellent quality, fresh ingredients, and…read moreseriously delicious meals for breakfast and lunch. Everything I tried was flavorful, fresh, and made me want more. I ordered the Avocado Smash on gluten-free bread, which was soft and delicious. On top were thin slices of crunchy cucumbers and radishes, then added a sprinkle of red chili flakes for a little kick. I also got the six-minute eggs on the side, and they were absolute perfection. Creamy, perfectly cooked, and exactly what I wanted. Then I also decided to add on a Greek yogurt bowl with lots of fruit, in addition to their housemaid granola and drizzle of honey. So yummy!! I also tried their dragon fruit drink made with coconut water, which was so refreshing and kept me feeling super hydrated. And then there was the Coffee Banana Latte... chocolatey, creamy, and SO good. Honestly, I just wanted more! Everything looked so fresh and colorful, and now I'm eyeing their salads because they look absolutely amazing! Definitely one of my favorite finds in Miami Beach so far. I'll be back!

Pura Vida in Bay Harbor Islands is truly a hidden gem! I've visited this location multiple times,…read morebut my most recent experience stood out because of Val's exceptional customer service. Val was incredibly friendly, patient, and informative. She took the time to explain the benefits of downloading the Pura Vida app and even told me about the local discount available. I've been coming here for a while, and surprisingly, no one had ever mentioned these perks before. She even waited while I downloaded the app to make sure I received my points, which was such a thoughtful touch. As for the food, I ordered the falafel bowl, and it was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Between the great food and Val's outstanding service, I've found myself coming back regularly. What started as a once-in-a-while visit has turned into a weekly lunch spot, and sometimes I stop by twice a week just to grab their amazing vegan cookie! A big thank you to Val for going above and beyond. Excellent customer service makes all the difference, and she definitely made me feel like a valued customer. Highly recommend!

Come if your not able to get good pastrami but not worth coming otherwise.

Open Kitchen is more than just a restaurant -- it's a community spot where good food meets good people and friends; which I have been a customer for more than 9 years. A must-visit in Bay Harbor Islands!

This was our last time eating at Hillstone. It's no wonder…read moreI'm seeing so many negative reviews lately. At 6:00 p.m., they were already out of two fish dishes. On top of that, they refuse to make even the slightest accommodation or deviation from the menu--none whatsoever. The food used to be very good here, but that's no longer the case. And whatever you do, don't order the crab cakes. While they contained very little filler, they had absolutely no seasoning and were completely tasteless. Save your money and go elsewhere.
