Was a nice evening and our waitor daniela was very sweet. The flamenco venue was lovely

Beautiful venue. LOVED the decor and the comfortable sofas in the first section. Checking into our event was easy and quick. We were here for the Fever Candlelight Concert. We were the first to be seated. The staff who guided us to our seats was really friendly! My issue was the server. She came by and asked for our drinks. I told her 2 waters for now. She looked SOO disappointed. Once she came back with the water she asked what appetizers we wanted. Told her it's still really early. We will order later - mind you, we were the first ones here. I assured her that I will order later once its closer to the show. I finally ordered tacos but didn't know there was only two tacos for $18. Soo not worth the money! When I was on the restaurant's yelp page, it had 3 tacos. I guess once you order at the palapa they'll reduce the amount of food and raise the price. I also ordered an appetizer. NOTE: You're better off eating before any event since they're all in the same area. They also have automatic gratuity apparently even though we are a party of 2. If your server did a great job - give em a bit more!! But honestly, my server did not deserve the amount she charged. WAYYY too pushy on ordering food. read more

Wow! Absolutely incredible experience! My group of friends decided to explore outside of our typical Miami realm and went to the Kama Fatale show. I'm telling you, the upper body strength of these ethereal artists is just not comprehendible! Must see! read more

I had a great time watching the show. The was a burlesque type of show with singing and dancing & some acrobatics. I enjoyed the atmosphere. The seating was a mix of table and couches. They had a wide variety of drinks and service was good. The performers were outstanding and gave us a great show. I would say this is a good place to come to for a date night. I think the shows are different every week based on what I noticed. It was also a very zen space. I would definitely be back for another show. We purchased our tickets online and it was very organized when we came in. Ticket prices are based on where you're sitting so keep that in mind. It was a really nicely decorated space. Parking around this area was crappy. So make sure you get there early enough to find parking since there isn't really a parking lot for this space. read more

This is such a beautiful event space. It's hard to believe it's in the middle of Miami. We went for a candlelight orchestra, but from what I understand, you can see anything from acrobats to live music. This is located in the back of Upper Buena Vista. There was food and drink offered from partnering vendors, I'm assuming inside Upper Buena Vista. The ambiance is magical and makes me wonder if you can host a private event (wedding?) here. read more

Came here for a candlelight Fever concert. This is a great venue and has such a great ambiance. Our server Jorge was really nice. The menu selection isn't all that great as this place doesn't have a kitchen, they offer a few different plates from about 4 different restaurants that are located within the Buena Vista marketplace. Highly recommend the Lost in Paradise drink with passion fruit. Delicious! Would definitely attend another Fever concert here. read more

Beautiful decor and show. We ordered 6 cocktails 2 Old Fashions, on Spritz something with cucumber, and spirit something and another I don't remember 1 for each person in the party. Those were the worst drinks we have ever tasted... They need to go to google to find out the recipes.... for the price of each drink we were expecting something amazing and it was horrible. If you are coming beware and order beer or perhaps a bottle of something. Very limited food menu. The ambiance was fun and lively though. Thats why the 3 stars. read more

This was a 10/10 experience and something fun and different to do on a Tuesday evening. We had a wonderful outdoor dinner in the garden at Vista beforehand, then walked the 50 feet to Palapa, checked in 20 mins early, and claimed our couch right in front! The event was sold out, but they had all couches and tables spaced out enough where you didn't feel crowded. It was a gorgeous Tulum-esque venue, and the staff came around to take food or drink orders from your seats, before and during the performance! We saw a string quartet perform for about one hour, then it was over. Parking was fine on the street metered spots, but it did take some hunting and tight parallel parking maneuvers. Overall, I would absolutely do the Candlelight concerts at Palapa again! read more

Palapa - The entrance - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Miami, Florida

I wanted to like this spot so much because the venue is incredible. We arrived at 7:15pm with a party of 5. We were 1 of maybe 5 table. Service was not good, I waited for my drink 45 minutes and it wasnt until I reminded the waiter that they brought it over - they did comp it. The waiter did not check on us frequently enough. The food is from the surrounding venues which is pretty cool, but they dont give you napkins for the table. We got to see two shows, and although they were good, they were only about 10-15 minutes and about 2 hrs apart. This spot is vibes galore though! super instagrammable and overall a nice place to hang out read more

A beautiful venue located in upper buena vista. I saw the Kama Fatale show and it was a perfect way to spend a date night. The performances were great. Our tickets were at 6:30 but the show did not start till a little past 7pm. Drinks were very good and the server was very attentive. I recommend sitting on one of the couches so you have a better view of the performances. read more

We had a wonderful time Friday night at Palapa! We were there to see Orientica, the open-air acrobatic circus style cabaret. It was our first time there and we went to celebrate my birthday. First of all, the entrance to the place is fascinating with all the exotic decor and lights and creativity. No waiting in line, we were taken to our table, which was very close to the stage with a great view. The show was amazing and the talented acrobats did not disappoint. Great songs and music. The lady who did the solos has the voice of an angel! The male acrobats were all very handsome and had great moves. The women were gorgeous. You could feel what the Troupe was trying to convey. The gentleman who did the comic opening act was amazing and stole the show! He even gave me a hug and kiss with best wishes for my birthday. He was very entertaining with all the guests. You can order food and drinks there but we only ordered wine because we wanted to pay attention to the show. The crowd seemed enthused and happy. I think we all needed some normalcy after 2 years of the pandemic. Everything was great except for trying to find a parking spot on the street. You just have to get creative or do a rideshare. read more

Check your bill before paying. Charged $13 vs $12 is not a big deal but if I had more drinks ... it adds up. read more

Checked out Palapa because it was recommended. The decor and location is absolutely beautiful. However management was extremely unpleasant. If you're in the business of customer service you should know how to speak and direct yourself to your customers in a more respectful manner. The two managers were male and spoke to my friend in a very aggressive undertone which was not appropriate at all. Our situation was mainly because there was a mix up with our order. We noticed that the servers were confused as to which table they were serving. We had food being brought to our table that we had not ordered. Perhaps there's a lack of training there. Also noticed a previous review stating that drinks on the menu were priced differently than what actually is being charged; this is in fact true. We brought it the waitresses attention who was lovely but didn't want to continue dealing with management so we just paid the additional amount. read more

Loved this venue for a very sexy Saturday night show! Made for a really great date night! We ordered a bottle of wine and the cheese platter and 30 minutes after receiving the wine, we were told they were out of cheese platters. So, they offered us some kind of a cheese flatbread, which was pretty good! Disappointed that they took 30 minutes to tell us, but we had such a great time. Can't wait to go back again to see another show, have dinner and walk around the area. read more

I went there with a big group for a birthday party and we had so much fun. The cocktails were amazing and the show was incredible. It has such a fun and different atmosphere that you really never want to leave. We had a great experience with our server and enjoyed every moment. I'd definitely recommend it for date night or for a fun night out with friends. Love the boho concept! Unfortunately the bar wasn't available for seating at the time but I look forward to grabbing a quick cocktail there once restrictions ease up. read more

Please book a show and come-you won't be disappointed. My fiancé got me tickets for our anniversary. We watched Kayla and the palapa keepers which was amazing. We did sit in zone A which is the very front and I highly suggest trying to book that zone. The view of the stage is perfect. The lounge seating makes an intimate experience. Drinks are delicious. Food is great as well! This place is a vibe worth checking out read more

If I can give it one zero stars I would. They cancelled our event with absolutely no notification. Found out after showing up, hiring a babysitter, and paying valet. No concessions were given. Horrible management. Don't waste your time. read more

Don't know what happened to this place recently , I went and some guy named "david" was extremely rude to not only me but also to the staff . Other than that it's a cool venue where they have acrobatics and a tulum style vibe , anyway management should really fire this David guy total PRICK!! read more

I went for the Candlelight concert (by fever) and it was so great! The venue is absolutely beautiful and there were good COVID protections. The concert itself was beautiful. You can order food using a QR code and it will be brought to the table, from the vendors there in Upper Buena Vista. The food was way overpriced. The drinks were reasonably priced. All in all, very much enjoyed it. But I would hope they could adjust their food prices. read more

We were searching for places to spend the evening in the local area and this place popped up. I don't normally leave reviews but I feel compelled as the drinks and service were absolutely exquisite, Rose and Shelby made our stay very comfortable and seamless. I can recommend the Spicy Rituals cocktail...may be the best cocktail I've ever had! read more
