I arrived at the restaurant 2 hours after the restaurant was officially opened. First there was no host at the entrance or bartender at the bar. I had to find an employee hiding in the kitchen area. For some reason they staged wine bottles at the bar. Looks like they opened the restaurant and it wasn’t really ready to open. Food was good. The fries were really greasy.

It saddens me to not give a better review. The new location is great indoor and outdoors but the food n service at the original spot was better. Server was friendly but when the meals were bussed out, she never checked to see if the fish (pricey!), tuna ( good job chef!), burger (cooked perfectly), etc were all ok. We weren’t asked if we wanted a second round of drinks. The food was very salty. So not horrible, not great but given our previous experiences, we expected better....

Our first time visit to Nirvana's new location. Absolutely love the ambiance. Service was excellent and our waiter was very knowledgeable on wine selection. Food was fantastic and we cannot wait to visit again in the near future.
