Oh Costa Vida... I've been to this restaurant twice now and both times there's really nothing that stands out, nothing special that makes me want to come back. As I see in other reviews, this place is almost an exact clone to Cafe Rio which in my opinion is worlds better but I'll keep on Costa Vida for now. The setup is the same as Rio, the meals, the way the food is displayed, the turbo chef to cook etc. The food however isn't that great, as mentioned earlier there's nothing that stands out, no bold flavors, the salsa is just alright.
I feel like the food could be improved because the meals seem bland. The service is nothing to brag about. And the price for what you get/what you taste isn't worth it. I think what keeps this place afloat is the fact that it's in a strong business complex. Other than that, there are plenty of restaurants in Dana Park that I would much rather go to.
