Hostess a little overwhelmed. We had a 6pm reservation we didn’t want outdoor. We showed like -0 minutes before 6. Very nice small boutique restaurant but had a party of over 20 people with kids that stayed way to long should have given them a limit of time and weren’t taking care of couples that were spending money we bought a bottle of $100 bottle and just sat at bar. Not my first choice. Also happened to another couple they had a 7:30 and were at bar at 8 pm waiting. Manuela saved the night and our experience.

We had to wait 45 minutes after our reservation time to be seated and the restaurant was completely overwhelmed. Food was decent.

We had the misfortune of sitting next to a table of eight very loud women which made the experience memorable but regrettable. The food was excellent and we will return. It was our first visit.

This was our third time dining at Pulpa. The first time was excellent. The second time there was was new staff and a few mistakes (they were lovely but the mistakes led to cold food). Honest mistakes but the manager responded well and we returned to another great experience. Our food was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

The food was really just meh… all the ingredients were fresh and of good quality but honestly the taste just wasn’t there. Everything was just so bland. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things. I really wanted to love it but unfortunately no. Location was lovely and service was fine.

Decent food. Steak was way over cooked . I just want a medium rare juicy steak but got an over cook dried steak. Will only go back for the tapas sampler.

Note; they have no liquor - beer and wine only. Overall, a good experience and great food. We tried the crab crakes, burger and shrimp. The stereo needs some help, constantly skipping and replaying the same song which was distracting.
