Nirvana Kitchen + Pantry

I've been eating around a grill for many years - a friend and I stopped in for a quick bite of an old favorite - the stuffed poblano pepper. It laughed many of the key ingredients that made the original recipe so great there was no texture no substance only creamy and artichokes. Same great atmosphere, but one poblano pepper and two glasses of wine left the bill at 60.00.

It was advertised as a vegan place but had poor vegan/ vegetarian choices. The wine choices were OK. It was an OK place. The ambience was fairly OK. Service was also OK. If you lived in Laguna, it is OK. But nothing spectacular about this place

Phenomenal. The staff, the atmosphere…and the food…all of it. They are doing all the things right. I will come back to Laguna if only to visit Nirvana.

Something has changed badly here. Typically a favorite there no longer is table service. There's hardly service at all. You order at the counter which was very understaffed. A young guy was doing a masterful job of trying to juggle it all! We didn't stay.

Delicious food with outstanding service. Candy made the visit very enjoyable with interesting conversation. A definite must.

Such amazing food, great customer service and great location. The appetizers are fantastic.

Not celiac-friendly, as the menu might have you believe. Though the menu offers multiple items that claim they can be "prepared gluten free upon request," this statement is false because items labeled GF are cooked in the same oil/fryer as foods containing gluten. Additionally, items on the menu that come with bread or toast are made GF by simply removing the bread with no alternative grain replacement.

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 !
