It was quiet and romantic. No desire to return unless given a gift card.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMNice, quiet dinnerWe had a very nice dinner. I liked that the restaurant was quiet, we didn't have to shout to hear ourselves. The food was very good.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMVery good, little pricey.Overall, Nirvana Grille is a great restaurant. On a Friday night, it had a good amount of energy without requiring me to shout to my wife. The service was understated and efficient - exactly how I like it.
The food is excellent. My wife and I each got a different salad and shared 4 small plates. My warm mushroom salad was earthy and fresh, with a good balance of creaminess from the goat cheese. All 4 small plates were well executed, and although the descriptions made them sound heavy, there were not. In particular, the mussels in a light cream and tomato broth were amazing, although they were a little heavy-handed with the pommes frites. The scallops were perfectly cooked, and the fondue was done very creatively3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMA wonderful place to dine before thA wonderful place to dine before the theater .... relaxed atmosphere, great service, yummy food, and walking distance to the Laguna Beach Playhouse!3/15/2013 12:00:00 AM
