This is one of our favorite restaurants. Have never had anything but great experiences here. Seemed like each time one of our party ordered; someone else at the table re-evaluated their selection and changed their order. The choices are really good, it would be hard to go wrong. Our Server was patient with the changes and did a great job. Everyones food was excellent and we had a great time catching up with old friends. Thanks

Nirvana is a local treasure! Food is excellent at a reasonable price. The wine flight special was such a great experience - being able to taste 3 wines while enjoying dinner was fun. The live music was an added pleasure. The musician played lovely music at low volumes to add to a cozy atmosphere
