November 12th, 2023
Brimming with excitement and eager anticipation, Pura Vida proudly announces the grand opening of its highly-anticipated Wellington location! Embarking on its culinary journey in 2012 as a heartfelt side passion project by Founder Omer Horev in the vibrant landscape of Miami Beach, Pura Vida has swiftly ascended to become the epitome of healthy and wholesome dining in South Florida. Now, with the unveiling of its latest culinary haven in Wellington, the brand stands as a beacon of culinary excellence, welcoming patrons to indulge in its extensive menu, carefully crafted to delight palates at any hour of the day.
Pura Vida Wellington, the third jewel in the brand’s Palm Beach County crown, radiates a promise to not just be a restaurant but an integral part of the community—an inviting haven where friends, family, and neighbors eagerly anticipate returning time and again. From the inspired vision of its founder to the establishment of South Florida’s premier destination for nourishing eats, Pura Vida’s culinary legacy now extends to Wellington, offering a new dimension to the neighborhood’s dining landscape.
With its doors wide open, Pura Vida Wellington invites you to savor the essence of wholesome dining and become a part of the ever-growing family that celebrates the joy of delicious moments. This latest addition reaffirms the brand’s commitment to delivering exceptional culinary experiences, making it a cherished destination for those seeking not just a meal but an immersive and delightful journey into the heart of healthful cuisine.
If you’re a fan of bold and exciting flavor combinations, the Ponzu Tuna is an absolute must-try. The toasted ciabatta adds a delightful crunch to the dish, complementing the tender wild ahi tuna perfectly. The medley of ingredients, from creamy avocado to zesty pickled red onion, creates a harmonious blend of textures and tastes.
As for the breakfast options, the Turkey Egg Wrap is a winner in my book. The combination of pasture-raised eggs, turkey bacon, and the addition of roasted sweet potato elevates the classic wrap to a whole new level. The Spicy Green Harissa on the side adds an extra layer of heat, balancing the richness of the ingredients.
Now, let’s talk about the Mango Salmon Bowl. The oven-roasted salmon paired with quinoa, arugula, and a medley of fresh ingredients like avocado, mango, pickled red onion, and cherry tomato creates a symphony of flavors. The Pura Vida sauce takes it to another level, providing a unique and distinguished taste that sets this bowl apart.
Lastly, the Organic Acai Bowl is a true standout with its blend of raw organic acai, banana, and a delightful array of toppings. The combination of pineapple, strawberry, banana, shaved coconut, chia seeds, and vegan, gluten-free granola creates a satisfying and wholesome treat. The attention to using organic and quality ingredients is evident, making this bowl a signature and a must-try for a refreshing and nourishing experience.
“The ‘Welcome To Miami’ Smoothie is a tropical paradise in a cup, blending the vibrant flavors of passion fruit, mango, and banana. This refreshing concoction captures the essence of Miami’s sunny vibes, making it the perfect pick-me-up for those craving a taste of the exotic. The combination of these fruits results in a harmonious burst of sweetness with each sip.
The cappuccino and latte boast a luxurious and fluffy texture that’s a testament to the barista’s skill. The velvety foam on top adds a touch of sophistication to these classic coffee drinks, making them a comforting and indulgent treat for any coffee enthusiast. The attention to detail in the preparation, coupled with the rich flavor profile, ensures a satisfying experience for those seeking a well-crafted cup of coffee.
I wholeheartedly recommend dining at Pura Vida! The experience was nothing short of exceptional, from the warm ambiance to the delectable dishes. Without a doubt, it’s a must-try for anyone seeking a culinary adventure. Pura Vida truly lives up to its name, and I can’t wait to return for more delicious moments.
This 10-seat omakase opening in Miami is about to be one of the hardest reservations to get. Takay on Coral Way combines high-level sushi, intentional design, and a guest experience that feels personal from start to finish.
March 17, 2026
Miami, if you love a beautifully done omakase, this is one to have on your radar.
There is a new omakase concept opening this spring on Coral Way, and it already feels like the kind of place people will be trying to get into early. Takay is an intimate 10-seat experience created by founders Glen Kotlyarski and Yoni Matz, bringing together serious culinary pedigree with a very intentional, guest-focused vision.
Let’s start with the people behind it, because that is really what defines this concept.
Chef Glen Kotlyarski leads the culinary experience, bringing more than 2 decades of fine-dining expertise. His background includes the Jean Georges group and Miami’s Michelin-starred Hidden, and that level of precision and discipline is felt in every course. His approach draws from traditional Edomae sushi techniques, while staying grounded in seasonality and balance.
Alongside him, co-founder Yoni Matz brings a strong hospitality perspective shaped by years of building and operating restaurant concepts. His influence is clear in the overall experience, which is designed to feel warm, welcoming, and engaging rather than overly formal or intimidating.
And you feel that from the moment you arrive.
The space, designed by Japan based architecture firm KTX, is quietly stunning. Guests enter through a Japanese Zen garden, setting a calm and intentional tone before stepping inside. The interior blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with subtle Miami influence, featuring natural materials, soft lighting, and a sculptural wooden wave installation inspired by The Great Wave off Kanagawa. The entire room is designed to slow you down and bring your attention fully into the experience.
Takay’s omakase follows a classic Edomae style, with two nightly seatings, each centered on a 17- or 20-course progression. Seafood is flown in from Japan and paired with seasonal ingredients from local farms, allowing the menu to evolve continuously.
The experience moves through sashimi, nigiri, and composed dishes, with each course prepared directly in front of guests and thoughtfully explained. It feels interactive, personal, and immersive, making the entire evening feel intentional.
It strikes that rare balance where the experience feels polished and high-level, but still comfortable enough to fully enjoy without overthinking it.
When it opens, Takay will offer a 17-course signature omakase at $225 per person and a 20-course extended omakase at $275. Each seating includes a welcome beverage, with optional sake, champagne, and wine pairings available.
Takay is located at 2296 Coral Way in Miami and will be open Tuesday through Saturday with seatings at 6 pm and 9 pm.
In a city known for large, high-energy dining scenes, Takay introduces something a little more intimate and intentional. It is the kind of place that focuses on the details, and those are usually the ones that stand out the most.
