I went to this restaurant Friday to celebrate my birthday with friends and family, a group of six. I changed the plans from Tao to this place thinking that it would be as great as Buddha Bar (former owner), boy was I wrong! First of all we get there and order "summer" cocktails ranging from $14-$18, okay fine, a little ridiculous but hey we are in Manhattan..Then we order appetizers, Thai spring rolls (nasty and slimy inside), dumplings with some brownish gray sauce (nasty) and we had fried tiger shrimp which was actually the best thing I consumed all night... Dinner comes my brother ordered the Peking Duck, he said that he enjoyed it but it was extremely gamey to me. I had salmon with no flavor... Me and my brother also split a specialty roll for $19, do not go there if your a real sushi lover, no selection but four specialy rolls and sushi. Then my friend tells them its my birthday so the waiter decides to bring over a platter with four different desserts which showed on the menu as $11 each dessert item. Way to charge $44 for dessert when I just wanted to blow out a candle! They should of atleast asked if we wanted a dessert platter for everyone to share.... So the service was so-so...the food kinda stunk...The decor is definitlely very nice but there are so many places that you can go to in meat packing that has great decor. The music put me to sleep and the got rid of the big buddha! Now its time to pay the bill, tip inlcuded was $732.01! Approximately $245 a couple. Ridiculous! I would not recommend going there! I should of went to Toa or Buddakan...Hope this helps... lol

The service is superb. The location, excellent. The margaritas, scrumptious. The atmosphere: clean & trendy. The food, unimpressive. I wish so much the food would captivate me, however after two meals at Pure, I have about given up on the general menu. I'm leaning toward only making this a drinking hole, with an occasional appetizer or small plate. It's also pricey for a Taqueria, but you do get a lot of food for the money. I would appreciate an al la carte menu personally. Did I miss it?!?! Pure has a lot going for it and if they could get their kitchen in sync with their staff, atmosphere, & 'ritas, then this Taqueria could be unstoppable.

This place has been an ultimate staple for many many years for myself. Although the last time I went it seemed to be more cracked out than ever but that's almost the beauty of it. Nothing like going out to a club absolutely full of people dancing at 5:00A. The best is when it's about 5:50A and everyone is like thirsty animals waiting for the bar to open at 6:00A haha.
