We are fans of Brandt's Blue Canyon in Twinsburg and wanted to try the downtown Pura Vida. Very contemporary design and layout. Not crowded for a Saturday evening in December which was surprising. Nice wine list and the dinner menu, while small(er) in size, had many entrees that were tempting. I would call the menu comfort food with flare. I had the "chicken and biscuits" that came with a side of mac and cheese. This place isn't cheap, but if you have a like for chef-owned and chef-inspired restaurants, this is a worthwhile stop.
This place is right on Cleveland's Public Square, adjacent to the casino and close to many of the hotels.
