Overall, delicious food & very nice, accommodating staff. It was my mom’s birthday & they were very flexible with letting us choose our table. We were able to sneak in a cake & they kept it in their fridge until it was time to bring it out with a candle. Our server was so sweet, but it was clear the restaurant was understaffed and swamped with orders. We were at the restaurant for at least two hours and while it gave us ample time to talk and enjoy our food at a slow pace, it was due to the time it took to order and receive our drinks, starters and entrees.

Amazing location and fresh and healthy cuisine. Loved the chili and butternut squash soup! I came here for the first time because I tried their amazing blackening spice blend on my ribeye!

I was skeptical about food in California, coming from the East Coast, but I had the best meal I have ever eaten here.

We had a great experience tonight for restaurant week. We got to sample more than we might have as a result. Our table had muscles, salmon, ravioli and stroganoff- they were all delicious. The quality of the food and lack of fussiness was refreshing. Nirvana will be in our regular rotation after this.

Sparkling water was amazing. It had a lot of bubbles, but not too many bubbles. IYKYK

Food and service were excellent! We enjoyed the blue lip mussels and roasted stuffed poblano for starters. The entrees we tried were steak frites and pork tenderloin, and they were great also! Great ambiance and Hilary and Lindsey were super friendly!

We were here at about 5p on a wed before Pageant of the Masters. I had mushroom ravioli. It was perfect. My date had the vegetable plate also amazing. As were the sweet potato fries. I was too full for desert but that looked amazing. dont miss this place when in Laguna

Chef Lindsay is so creative with her meals- every time we’ve been to Nirvana, we’ve been blown away by her latest menu. Our favorite dish is their rack of lamb— you’ve gotta try it!

5 star experience across the board. The vibe was perfect, the food was high end and delicious, and the service from Patrick was spot on. There were plenty of options on the menu, and you could tell from the descriptions there is love and care that goes into the selections. Pictured is the Steelhead Salmon.

Excellent! Everything was perfect! The service was amazing. The food was so delicious. Everyone in my party of 6 ordered a different menu item and there no disappointments. We started the meal with the blue cheese fries and then I had the vegetable vegan plate. There were a few ingredients that I am allergic to but the chef made substitutions. A perfect entree for me #allergygirl !
