Nirvana has been one of my favorite restaurants for years. The food is superb, the wine selection is fantastic and the owner Danny is extremely personable. The new location is beautiful.

Great food and ambience. This was our first time at the new location and it was terrific. The patio is much larger and very comfortable. The food we ordered was delicious and the menu had many choices and we are looking forward to going back again. As always Alan was great.

The food was delicious. Our server was nice and personable but it took a long time to even get drinks. I was told before we went to expect that so I was ready but still not the best experience.

The lunch was excellent, with good food and exceptional service. Our server, Keyana, ensured we were well taken care of. She explained the dishes and made wonderful suggestions. It was a good experience.

New location has a wonderful outside patio and we took advantage of a relatively nice night to sit there. Service was outstanding; attentive but allowing a couple of old friends the opportunity to catch up without feeling rushed. Loved the braised short rib and black cod entrees we had, along with the steak skewer and tuna tartare wontons. Tried the featured red wine flight; all were good and settled on the cab for dinner. A very nice experience all the way around.

This was our first evening on the new patio..it is amazing! Overhead heaters for winter, piped-in music (by Alan, their awesome musician) from inside the main restaurant. Beautiful evening to sit outside with great friends, great food, great atmosphere and enjoy new wines. Congratulations on such an incredible new dining space!

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
