Nirvana Kitchen + Pantry

Inspiring, creative menu, delicious choices. Very professional and friendly service. I enjoyed great flavors ... pear and beet salad on arugula and delicate rockfish on flavorful rice. Very satisfying dinner and experience in Laguna Brach. Will be back. Love supporting small, Orange-County based, woman-own business.

We went for a birthday and the service, food, everything was amazing. Not only that, but Chef Lindsay herself was at a table beside us -- so not only was the food fantastic, the conversation and warmth was as well. Highly recommended.

Amazing food. Menu changes often so there is lots of delicious foods to try.

Absolutely wonderful experience at Nirvana. Food was delicious, server had great recommendations and was attentive. The atmosphere was cozy. We will definitely be back so we can try even more of their incredible seasonal menus.

Food was really good! Ambiance was nice. We will come back for sure if they can get the service on point. Was hard to get the waitress to take orders promptly and to get her attention when we needed something. Took a long time to get drinks out to the table/ bartender was slow. Really wish they'd work on this because it was frustrating. But again, the food was yummy.

Every bite was absolutely delicious. The artichokes, Kale Salad, Mushroom Ravioli & Butternut Squash Risotto were unbelievable. I can't wait to go back! P.S. Chef Lindsay's Old Fashioned Cocktail is one of the best. Ever.

We are Laguna locals and this is our go to place for dinner. The food is of the highest quality and beautifully prepared. The menu offers a range of options for all courses and meets the needs of many dietary restrictions/preferences. The waitstaff is professional and warm, as well as offering great suggestions. The room is comfortable and the decor inviting. The well-chosen wine list offers some excellent values, as well as some higher end better known wines.

Great food, server took time to listen to dietary restrictions, and brought the lunch menu as it had additional offerings. She made suggestions that combined the two menus. Chef Lindsey checked up on us. Expresso martini and old fashioned were strong and expertly made!

So personal, warm and absolutely delicious. Such a cozy vibe to the restaurant and staff. Lindsey is a gem!

Chef Lindsey does an excellent job at delivering farm to table , most enjoyable food .. we are never disappointed . We sit , order our drinks along with the MUST HAVE MUSSELS W FRIES .. definitely order a crusty baguette to soak up the tomatoe leek white wine broth topped with the most delightful French fries dusted with thyme and paprika 🙌🏼 I laugh at myself , the broth is so tasty, I would finish it with a straw , if no one was looking 🫣😬😜

We found it! Farm to table, organic, grass fed, wild caught, no see oils! Not only healthy but also delicious. The staff is wonderful. Service is amazing. Definitely our favorite restaurant in Laguna Beach. So happy we found it.

this is not a place to come if you're hungry or want a good sized portion of protein.

the mixed veggie plate is good but could have been 50% larger to be a meal.

unfortunately we won't go back because it's not enough food.

First time at Nirvana and what a treat! Three of us went for lunch. The food was amazing, including grilled artichoke hearts and chicken wontons. We also had the wild lump crab cakes for an entree. Service was warm and friendly. We will definitely be back.

Chef Lindsay & Nirvana continue to deliver a fine dining experience, great food and ambiance. The Pacific halibut was delicious. The beef brochette melted in the mouth. The artichoke appetizer was flavorful. Over the top in every way. Chef herself came by the table and personally welcomed us which was a special treat. Her waitstaff were exceptional. We look forward to a return soon!

This was our first visit to Nirvana by Chef Lindsay . We were warmly greeted by Hillary and she guided us to a seat near the window. Nicole our server was a real pro. She was polite, attentive and offered very professional service. The pacing of the meal was very relaxing and we were never rushed between courses. We started with the grilled artichoke hearts accompanied by a well-made classic Old Fashioned cocktail. The rack-of-lamb and diver scallops were truly incredible! Cooked to perfection and plated beautifully with lovely sides. The herbed french lentils were so delicious. For dessert we shared a fabulous chocolate banana bread pudding. Chef Lindsay was wandering among tables and we complimented her on our wonderful experience. This organic and farm-to-table restaurant was a special treat!
