Excellent! Everything was perfect! The service was amazing. The food was so delicious. Everyone in my party of 6 ordered a different menu item and there no disappointments. We started the meal with the blue cheese fries and then I had the vegetable vegan plate. There were a few ingredients that i am allergic to but the chef made substitutions. A perfect entree for me #allergygirl !

Location: Good, Service: Decent, Parking: Street. Price for food received: a bit high, Was Owner Present : Yes, Overall: This was a first-time try, and I was looking for a nice light filler to end the evening and see the Pagent of The Masters. At first, I did not know our server was the owner and chef. Both myself and my date wanted to share and order 3 dishes. I will admit all 3 were very good and flavorful . The presentation was also very good. The servers were responsive and did check on us at decent times. When I did find that our main server was the owner and I wanted to ask a question. She made it feel like I was intruding, which was not the case at other tables. So would I go back? Sure, there were a few items on the menu I would enjoy trying. So, for now, 3.8 stars…

On an overnight trip to Laguna we decided to try Nirvana since we hadn’t been before, and the menu looked really good. I’m glad we did, as it was a spectacular meal. The woman who seated us and served us during the meal turned out to be the chef-owner, and, seeing as she was an expert on everything to do with the restaurant, she made the experience even more enjoyable. The ambiance is casual but lovely and the menu has so much variety. We started with the butternut squash ravioli and then went to the herbs de Provence chicken breast, and ended with tiramisu and ice cream trio. Everything was simply delicious. For sure, we will be back.

We stopped by to have drink and food. The waitress was very helpful and respectful, but the chef that discussed the gluten free and vegan options on the menu with us was very upset and rude. When they realized we are not going to order because their gluten free options are not really gluten free (they only have one fryer) she personally made us get up while having our drinks and waiting for an appetizer and moved us to the bar. Terrible attitude from the chef!!!!!!!

Food was highly overpriced. It seemed as if it was trying to be fine dining. Portions are extremely small for the sea bass plate. Maybe 6oz about 4-5 spoon fulls of potatoes and 4 asparagus choped into sections. The majority of staff seemed like they had no clue what was going on and were very inexperienced. However nice and trying. I would recommend the restrant droping their prices significantly. Definitely nothing fancy. Chicken was very dry.

Visted Nirvana back in July and overall had a good experience. Ordered a couple of drinks and a salad which were a bit overpriced but tasted good. One thing to note is that they add a service charge to the check. I am pretty sure this was not disclosed on the menu which is border-line illegal, since I am not sure what I am paying this fee for. Since we were only a party of 2 and we also tipped the server, it would only be compliant that service fees are transparent and aknowledged by patrons before ordering.

Best spot we could have picked in Laguna Beach (and Southern California)! Wandering around and stopped by to check out the menu and it definitely did not disappoint!! We landed on mostly the late night happy hour but both this and the regular menu looked great! Drinks and food were amazing with great service and new friendships formed. As a mostly out of towner, will definitely be back when back in SoCal.

We were seated at a booth for 4 although there were only 2 of us. After a few minutes we were told we needed to move to a table for 2 because they needed the booth for a party of 4. We said ok, and unfortunately the table was wedged in a small space behind another booth. We were ok with that until a few minutes later they seated another couple in the booth we had. So much for the party of 4. There were additional problems with our drink and food orders as well.

I really recommend this place. We were last one in the restaurant and they are about to close the kitchen but they were well coming. The food was really good especially the prawn scampi was perfect. I can tell the margarita was ok but still I like to keep it five star. I like the place alot

Cozy and plush restaurant with a nice bar. Food is excellent with good choices for vegan/vegetarian. The ravioli and cauliflower were our favorites. Good selection of wine, beer and cocktails. Helpful and friendly staff.
