Service was amazing, as always. The new location is beautiful—great layout, very classy. My wife appreciated being able to get multiple servings of salad dressings. This restaurant truly needed the move to showcase its full potential. I'm so glad they did—it's going to thrive!

Very disappointed in the new location. It lost the classy ambience. I am not sure why, but the service was horrible. this was not an issue in the past. Hopefully, they get their act together because the food is excellent.

Dining solo on a Saturday night, date night for a lot of people, can be challenging. Getting a decent table, having a attentive servers, and getting the best recommendations is not always top shelf. The Nirvana experience from the moment I walked in the door was definitely top shelf.

Recommendations and explanations of the menu were exceptional. A lively discussion of wine pairings was very educational and productive. Attention to detail and servers who remembered the solo diner was very much appreciated. This was my first experience at Nirvana and it won’t be my last!

Food was wonderful. Crab cakes out of this world. Flat bread delicious. No complaints on the food or service at all.

Major issue which will stop me from returning. They charged me a 4% service charge for using my debit card. I know they pay a fee but that is the cost of doing business. On top of it all my research says they pay from 1.5-3% so they are making money on that? REALLY?

Called to complain and his response was "its on the menu and it cost us over $40,000 last year" 2 issues with that:
1. They dont even give menu's you have to use your phone.
2. I am a customer paying your bills, your expenses are not my issue, nor does that make it right.

Sorry business owner you blew a good thing. Great server. Great wine. Great food. All this to make 4%

I probably would have given it a higher rating but on this particular day they were out of 2 items on the menu that I ordered. It was a bit disappointing not to get what you really had a taste for, but overall the food and service was good.

We dined at Nirvana 6/7 Xs now. Every time I bring along someone new, they are extremely pleased with the food, staff & wine selection and cozy setting. Danny, the owner, is one of the nicest small business owners I know. He treats us like his family !! I HIGHLY recommend Nirvana as a regular " special " place to unwind, eat well and enjoy life ??!!

We went here for a date night. Nice ambiance and staff. They also had someone playing the guitar so that was a nice touch. Their wine menu is extensive. Their food menu is not big, but what we ordered was very good. I got the goat cheese encrusted beef tenderloin and we also tried the rack of lamb.

Service seemed off on Sat. And why in the world is there no offer for the one person at the table who can't have alcohol? No mocktails? Nothing but water? The rest of us were drinking. This is a serious problem for a group of friends who want to sit around and enjoy your restaurant.

I ordered for pick up to host a dinner at my home. The order was ready for pick up at the scheduled time and perfectly packaged.

We had the margherita flatbread, farmer's market flatbread, chopped salad, and black bean quesadilla. All were delicious and I felt the portions were generous. Our favorites were the farmer's market flatbread and the chopped salad.

I felt the prices were appropriate for the quantity and quality of the food. It's not inexpensive but feel it's comparable to similar quality items elsewhwere.

Will definitely be back to dine in and enjoy some wine witht the wonderful food!

Spectacular on all fronts!! Food was exceptional. Live music was great. Service outstanding. I can't say enough about this place. Food seriously good. Short rib literally the best I ever had - plus wine flights. A gem.
