I brought my 9 year old grandson with me for lunch. He is a picky eater, but he said that it was the best hamburger he had ever eaten and he loved the carrot cake a la mode! I had the Everything salad and it was delicious! The wine was great, the atmosphere was lovely and the service was top notch. I highly recommend this quiet, well-appointed restaurant! It's sophisticated, yet simple and the food and wine are amazing! Hats off to the chef!

We love Nirvana! Have eaten here for over a decade. We loved the atmosphere of the old place . The new space is lighter and more open and has a great outdoor space

Decent happy hour discounts (off wine and apps) and although too chilly for us, next time look forward to trying new patio at new location!

The food is always delicious, and the service is great. I can't recommend this place enough. They really know their wine and can find something for everyone. Everyone is very friendly.

Hard to rate this experience. We loved the ambiance. Great vibe, you don't feel like you're in Vernon Hills! The food was excellent, a total 5! Sadly, the service was horrible. It was a 1 at best. We'll try it again, but if the service doesn't improve, we'll be done. Too many other local, independent restaurants.
