We were looking for nice-but-not-too-nice restaurant before a concert, and Pura Vida delivered!
We made a reservation ahead of time, which I would recommend. Our server was very knowledgable about the menu, and had a good sense of humor.
Appetizers were so-so; would order something different next time: Frog legs, bread slather.
All of the main dishes we ordered were awesome: Barbecue picnic (ribs were fall of the bone), bacon wrapped pork (special), pork shank (corn side was delicious, and I don't even like corn!). Portions are generous for the main dishes.
I will be back for sure.
