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
One of my favourite places to dine. The menu is seasonal, portions are generous, ingredients are fresh, and everything is delicious. Vegetarian and gluten free options available, and a full bar. They have a menu for young persons (kids). The service is always friendly and inviting. I've gone with friends, on dates, and with children. We like to dine here before going to the Laguna Playhouse or Pageant of the Masters. It's across the street in close walking distance. On our last visit, we had the Roasted Poblano Chile, Wild Mushroom Ravioli, Chicken Wontons, Filet Brochettes, and Organic Gnocchi with a Chicken Breast side. For dessert, we enjoyed the ice cream: House-Made Goat Cheese Maple (surprisingly good, tangy and sweet), House-Made Cinnamon, and Dark Chocolate Truffle. Definitely worth a visit, and highly recommended.
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.
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 !
We had a great experience tonight for restaurant week. We got to sample more than we might have as a result. Our table had muscles, salmon, ravioli and stroganoff- they were all delicious. The quality of the food and lack of fussiness was refreshing. Nirvana will be in our regular rotation after this.
5 star experience across the board. The vibe was perfect, the food was high end and delicious, and the service from Patrick was spot on. There were plenty of options on the menu, and you could tell from the descriptions there is love and care that goes into the selections. Pictured is the Steelhead Salmon.
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.
Amazing location and fresh and healthy cuisine. Loved the chili and butternut squash soup! I came here for the first time because I tried their amazing blackening spice blend on my ribeye!
