    Nirvana is a pleasant, classy restaurant that has the spirit of Laguna Beach, with gourmet cuisine we haven’t seen anywhere else. The location, near PCH on Broadway, is a nice short walk to Laguna Playhouse, and was convenient for an upscale pre-show dinner. The decor and atmosphere are nice and light, resort-like. All the people are very friendly and helpful, our server Nicole was outstanding. There are so many tasty-sounding dishes, we plan to come back soon. We had soup, a ravioli dish, a vegetable entree and dessert. It was all delicious. This is now one of my favorite restaurants.

    Bar and service was perfection. Loft dining service was amazing. Steaks were served barely warm, risotto was undercooked with very small portion to price, mushrooms were very good. Wine selection was amazing and desert was perfect. For the pricing on the steaks we were expecting more. Over all ambiance is why we keep coming back.
