We love the braised short ribs and the salmon entrees. And we are so glad they kept these two favorites when they moved to Hawthorn Row!!

Overall was a positive experience and a fresh break from other local restaurants. Patio space was nice with sun screens. Unfortunately our server was showing excessive sweat on his face and arms during service which was hard to avoid.

Place was nowhere near full but we first stood in the doorway for a long while and not even addressed. When we were finally seated we waited a very long while for a server. When she came we ordered a bottle of wine and asked for bread while we looked at menu and the server advised against it due to "an extra charge and a super long wait just for bread because the kitchen was super backed up". We should have left but decided to give the place a try. We ordered our food and it did take a long time, we were glad we got the bottle of wine. Not sure what the deal was because it was not a filled in dining room or filled in the outside seating. Food was tasty and wine was good. Need improvement on service for sure. While she was very nice the place seemed very hectic for a restaurant that was not at full capacity. New location so maybe just growing pains.

Overall this is a wonderful place to have dinner or celebrate a special occasion, the Manager is incredibly friendly and knows how to make people feel welcomed. The same could be said for the rest of the team. The wine and food is amazing. We definitely go back in the future.

Nirvana is in its new location. It is larger. And it has a great patio for outdoor seating. Same food. Always good. Allen was performing on the patio. He plays easy listening classic rock. We always enjoy his performances.
