Overall, reviews portray Pura Vida Bistro as a stylish, inviting spot with a tapas oriented menu and a strong drinks list, where the food is frequently flavorful, well presented, and some dishes like oysters or gnocchi are highlighted; the ambiance and service on many visits are praised, with friendly, attentive staff and a warm, lively atmosphere. Yet several guests report inconsistent service and pacing, long waits between courses, occasional forgotten dishes, and some items arriving cold or not at the same quality across visits, sometimes due to stock shortages or busy times. When service runs smoothly, the experience is described as exceptional, with fast, professional service and dishes that balance creativity and value; on less successful nights, the issues temper the otherwise high notes and can deter repeat visits. Taken together, Pura Vida Bistro is seen as a strong, enjoyable dining option with beautiful surroundings and delicious food, though improvements in consistency and staff coordination would elevate it further.View restaurant profile
Across the reviews, PizzBox La Boîte à Pizza is seen as a solid quick option with a good range of choices, especially for vegetarians, and lactose free options that are surprisingly tasty, along with friendly staff who help newbies pick popular options during a first visit. The Parma option with a crust described as half firm, half soft and crunchy is noted for plentiful toppings, and promotions and reasonable prices are frequently praised. Some negatives include a very dry, thin crust on a tout garnie pizza, a salty taste that leaves you thirsty, and at least one crust issue on a dessert pizza. There are mentions of positive experiences during weekday dinners and the desire for a downtown locale, plus comparisons to a former concept that used local ingredients and a request to rename it. Overall, the reviews present PizzBox as a dependable choice for quick meals with good veggie and lactose-free offerings, with room for improvement in crust texture, sodium balance, and cross-location consistency.View restaurant profile
Pizza Avenue draws praise for delicious pizza with fresh ingredients, a perfect crust, and strong flavor across toppings, and many note good value with promotions and competitive prices in Sherbrooke. Customers describe fast, friendly service and a mostly counter style setup, with some saying the dining room ambiance is now more utilitarian as seating has diminished. The menu is varied with poutine and even Afghan dishes like soup and a burger mentioned, appealing to different tastes, while delivery is praised for speed. Several reviews highlight consistency and affordability, with repeated comments about best price in town and reliable quality. A rare concern appears where one diner suspected a poutine caused illness, though the writer hopes this was a mistaken impression and notes continued appreciation of the food overall. Overall, Pizza Avenue comes across as a go to spot for tasty, well priced pizza and quick service, appreciated by locals who want good meals without breaking the bank.View restaurant profile
