Palapa

IM HERE RIGHT NOW !!! Terrible experience. I've been to more than 20 candlelight concerts and always want to go back. But this time made me think long and hard about whether I'll ever go back to another concert. Terrible service, excellent location, but terrible audience disposition. I even asked if I could pay a fee to change my location with a better view, and they said no. The worst part is that the concert has started, and the good spaces are still empty. I don't think the organizers of this Halloween concert at Palapa Miami are the ones who always organize and strive to ensure the audience enjoys the experience to the fullest.

Amazing! It was my 4th time going to candlelight event, I love them , very intimate and beautiful atmosphere, the musicians are just out of this world , so talented, engaging and captivating with their talented work. The staff at the place was great as well, very professional and fast. Recommended to everyone who appreciate great live music and beautiful setting!

Palapa at Upper Biena Vista in Miami felt like a cute small village of shops and restaurants. The Candlelight Consert inside Palapa was decorated with candles, of course, however, I would've liked to have seen a lot more candles. It was fresh inside as they had very large fans going. The seating was varied. Their were couches, all styles, high top tables, and regular tables. It was cozy. There were people dressed up and dressed down. When the concert started, the fans were shut off, and that's when I felt the mosquitoes even with repellent on. The staff was attentive. The meñu was very, very limited. I got a drink from the shops. The parking is also very limited. I ended up parking 2 streets down in a residential zone. They have valet service if you want to drop $$. I'll definitely be going to see more Candlelight concerts in the future.

The musicians were talented and engaging. They take the time to explain song choices. Great experience 👍

I rarely write reviews, but this restaurant absolutely deserves a shoutout. From the food to the atmosphere and the people—everything was exceptional. As someone who loves Michelin-level dining and comes from New York, my expectations are pretty high, and this place truly delivered. The vibe has a charming, Caribbean-like aura with lush greenery all around. The food? An explosion of flavor in every bite, authentic. And the staff—everyone was so warm and accommodating, making the experience even more special. Highly recommend. It’s definitely a must-visit spot!

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.
