Palapa - Miami, Florida

Dominick Morano

Went to the candlelight event here tonite. The server was EXTREMELY RUDE and the food was disgusting. The pita bread was HARD as a rock, the meatballs were Cold and she refused to get me water with ice - like straight up told me
No- you can buy water only. She never came back to see how we were and I had to get up during the show to find someone to bring us pita bread. I will
Never go back. DM ME for more details.

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.

At first I was worried with how much it costed and food wasn't included. The waivers were also worrying since you sign away you can die... But in the end the performance was phenomenal and I loved it from start to finish. I definitely recommend anyone that wanted to find something to do to try this place out for a great evening!

Went to listen Vivaldi concert at this place. Place is very nice and cozy. Menu has nice variety to choose from. Friendly stuff, and nice environment to spend an evening. Recommend to visit this place at least once.

Beautiful, beautiful space. We attended a "candlelight concert" playing (mostly) Vivaldi. For classical music it was somewhat over-amplified and speakers were on the sides (not behind the musicians) so I had a weird experience of hearing the music not where it was coming from. Drinks were pricy but good. A QR code that would supposedly allow ordering from the food places there seemed to not work, at least it never successfully loaded. Still, BEAUTIFUL space. Nevertheless, I docked one star because the parking is god-awful, and that was on a weeknight early-ish. We arrived back at our car two blocks away literally one minute before getting a ticket. (Didn't know I had parked illegally.) So despite the lovely venue I would probably not return given the parking problem. Ironically there is some sort of facility across the street with a huge, half empty fenced-in parking lot. They need to do a deal. Just saying...

The ambiance here is everything! They do a very good job of bringing an eclectic mix of many aspects into a single presentation. The various DJs bring a nice energetic vibe without wearing you out. There were also performers of which we got to see twice. They were very professional and skilled and this was very apparent in their performance. For this particular evening it was an aerial and balancing act of two girls. The costumes and props were on point with the surroundings.

The food comes from the various venues around the bar and everything was just as eclectic as the surroundings. if you are not into exotic food then this is probably not your best choice for dinner but you can certainly enjoy the drinks from the bar and catch the show. All of the plates, cutlery, straws, etc we're all sustainable and or recyclable.

The servers were always readily available and always kept an eye on their tables which is very important to me. I will definitely make another visit here again in the future.

It’s a amazing sensory experience from smell to visual. The customer service excellent and the food and drinks are delicious. I recommend the tuna baos and the pide with spinach
