    It was my second time having dinner here. All of the presentations are so beautiful and it’s a wonderful story with every course. I love the concept and the philosophy of being connecting food with nature and values. We also got to talk to the chef George at the end of the meal and he was phenomenal. He explained to us his philosophy and background. Highly recommend this restaurant to everyone looking for a unique experience.

    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.
