    I love the new restaurant, the openness and more tables. Unfortunately, the acoustics are terrible and when the restaurant is full, as it was last night, it’s very noisy. They had a musician, but you couldn’t hear yourself let alone the music. I’ve always enjoyed the food at Nirvana, but I think they’re stretched a little thin currently and it was evident in the food. My chicken was way overcooked and dry and tough. The carrots were not soft, but almost seemed like they were dried first and then reheated. It is unfortunate, but maybe they just have to get use to the new flow.

    Service was amazing, as always. The new location is beautiful—great layout, very classy. My wife appreciated being able to get multiple servings of salad dressings. This restaurant truly needed the move to showcase its full potential. I'm so glad they did—it’s going to thrive!

    We had a wonderful dinner at Nirvana’s new location. The food, service and atmosphere were stellar. I recommend the braise short ribs!
