Great food, great atmosphere, great music, great time! 1/2/2007

Took an old friend on a date at Pura Vida and was totally suprised that the menu had changed. It was awesome. The food was innovative, cutting edge, and most importantly delicious. I do miss some of the old favorites (like the salmon ceviche) but totally respect the chefs right to try new things. i mean, who wants to cook the same stuff for years on end. Hector Santiago's food is the ""high art"" of tapas. Eclipse de luna and Fuego are McDonalds in comparison - good if you're jonzing for the same old stuff. The Pato Frito - fried duck - and Malanga pasta were excellent. Our favorite comfort food, the chicken empanadas, are still on the menu and a great compliment to the new, more upscale dishes. The wine selection was wonderful and the wait staff was friendly and helpful. The ingredients may be foreign to the average diner, but the translations provided and great waitstaff make it quite easy to understand. Will definitely be back! Pros: great atmosphere, innovative food more
