Costa Brava features an enticing menu of Pan-American cuisine, with dishes based on recipes from Spain, Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean. The restaurants offers a delicious selection of steak, seafood, and chicken entrees. Flaming chili con queso, tender chicken en mole, and a delicious crumbly crusted empenada are just a few examples of some of their more unusual and savory specialties. The service is excellent, and the atmosphere is comfortable, with just a touch of formality that marks it as a quality establishment. The interior design is elegant but not overdone, with subtle lighting, walls painted in calming rusty tones, and a tasteful selection of artwork. The restaurant features a full bar, comfortable seating, and a small lounge area with inviting overstuffed coaches. Costa Brava is located in the heart of downtown Santa Cruz, close to theatres, clubs, shopping, and just around the corner from the McPherson Center, making it a perfect dinner destination for anyone looking forward to a night on the town, fine dining after a visit to the art museum, or an evening stroll down Pacific Avenue.
