Food was good, but over-priced for what was served for sure. Wines were good, but we felt like the flight of red (Jax) was just there to get rid of their inventory. Biggest issue was one meal was served a full 15mins before the other two. The server apologized, but when you spend over $200 for dinner, you expect more. And no accommodation was made to acknowledge the mistake. We won’t be back.

Wonderful low key setting for two coupes to dine. Incredible value. Friday night reserve flights- we each had the Jax Cab, blend and then reserve cab, heavy pours, $23.50. The ladies had another flight, while the guys had three Manhattans/OldFashioned’s each. Then two more full glasses for the wives of cab. Along with an appetizer and we each had Chilean Sea Bass. All under $400. Super chill guitarist playing solo acoustic covers of known tunes. Not obtrusive.

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

Wonderful date night! Danny is so welcoming & on top of giving the guests the best dining experience. Hummus appetizer, lamb chop & tiki chicken was spot on 10 out of 10. To top it off - live music! Can’t wait to go back.
