Overall, delicious food & very nice, accommodating staff. It was my mom’s birthday & they were very flexible with letting us choose our table. We were able to sneak in a cake & they kept it in their fridge until it was time to bring it out with a candle.
Our server was so sweet, but it was clear the restaurant was understaffed and swamped with orders. We were at the restaurant for at least two hours and while it gave us ample time to talk and enjoy our food at a slow pace, it was due to the time it took to order and receive our drinks, starters and entrees.

Phenomenal. Beautiful rooftop setting where Chef Lindsay came out and discussed her menu with us, helped us craft our order, and answered all dietary questions. The food was spectacular. Everything we tried was homey yet complex and beautifully presented. Even the cocktails were notable. If I were in a position to hire a private chef (I am not), I’d choose someone like Chef Lindsay. Her food is feel-good, not over salted or over… anythinged. I’d never tire of it.

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…

Nirvana hosted my large family group for a celebration dinner (got married!) and we were all talking about the amazing experience for the rest of the weekend. Not only did Chef Lindsay and the kitchen and service teams fulfill all the plans we made ahead of time for our event – they added special touches all throughout the evening to take care of us. We had many restricted diets/allergy concerns in our group, and they took the initiative to change ingredients beyond what we had even asked for, to make everyone’s choices easier and safer. I had previously dined at Nirvana and I knew the food was going to be good, but this menu exceeded our expectations. The salads and starters had so many wonderful flavors and textures. We had three proteins in the entree selection. My favorite was the meatballs (little spicy kick!) but many of our guests raved about the salmon with basil aioli. We also loved how Chef added special touches throughout the evening, like personally delivering ice cream sundaes to our family’s kids who were gathered around the fire pit on the patio while the adults finished dining. The service was responsive and thorough all evening.

We found it! Farm to table, organic, grass fed, wild caught, no see oils! Not only healthy but also delicious. The staff is wonderful. Service is amazing. Definitely our favorite restaurant in Laguna Beach. So happy we found it.

Interesting, I order a Moscow Mule and received a mocktail (ginger beer lime and two cranberries) Maybe they don’t sell hard alcohol. The mocktail was over priced and I did not drink it.

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.

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.

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.
