Loved the covered patio. Food was delicious. Great, friendly service. Significant number of items were GF, really loved the crab cakes.
This is one of my favorite places. Lorib was great dining the best wine for my taste. Had my favorite salad and appetizer. Will always go back again and again.
Wonderful new space in Mellody farms. We chose to sit outside on a very warm evening but they have shades that they lowered to help block the sun. Next time will sit inside and check out all of the new bar selections
Beautiful new space- love it!!! Our waiter was very kind, but the other person quite snooty. Food was fine, but not great. Definitely not worth the excessively high prices.
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.
This is a well run establishments from the owner Danny to our waiter David, the bar staff and others. This is our regular spot.
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.

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.
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!
