              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.

              I probably would have given it a higher rating but on this particular day they were out of 2 items on the menu that I ordered. It was a bit disappointing not to get what you really had a taste for, but overall the food and service was good.
