Pura Vida was pure bliss. We sat inside but by the window so it was almost as if we were outside, all while still enjoying the modern, yet cozy ambiance of the inside. For a Friday night, the place seemed abandoned, which was strange but no complaints from me on that. Our server (Dave) was outstanding. He had many suggestions and was attentive without being annoying. Probably the best service I have had in Cleveland.
I started with the African peanut stew and while I thought it could have used a tad more curry for bit more of a kick, it was such a yummy and unique dish. Perfect start to a phenomenal meal. Next, I had the Korean fried chicken served with rice. The rice had a hint of lime and was so moist and light, I loved it. The chicken was out of this world!!! So crispy without being too fried and extremely flavorful.
I'm not vegan or vegetarian, but if that were to have been the case, there would have been plenty of delicious options for me. This place is truly one of a kind!!! I enjoyed every bit of my experience.
