| - I've been going to Nirvana for a few years now, but was never a fan of their food really. Kept going back, for dinner, for brunch, whatever, it just didn't measure up. And the music was always too loud to talk comfortably. That being said, I may have been addicted to their cheap Caesars night. May have...
So I took a break for 1/2 a year, and went back last night for a staff party for the bar I work at. I think I finally get Nirvana. I ordered the Pad Thai with tofu. It came with a small salad which came out before the entree, which was quite nice in form, but not very tasty. The Pad Thai on the other hand was the best thing I've tasted there, and I've tried nearly everything else on the menu. So unless the kitchen has been vastly improved while I was away, I think this is the thing to order there. I also recommend the "David Bowie" drink - rum, coconut Malibu, strawberry-banana, and soda. I usually don't like sweet cocktails, but this one was so good, I plan on ripping off the recipe.
This place is great for groups. We were able to get a long table, with glowing candles, just perfect for passing around several bottles of Côtes du Rhône. We had a fabulous night, with fabulous servers who made sure the bottoms of our glasses never went dry. Even with it being "Cheap Bar-rail Mondays", our bill came to well over $500 for a party of 8 (dinner, drinks, bottles of wine), but this was a group of bartenders, and just speaking for myself, we can drink quite a bit more than ordinary "civilians".
Well done Nirvana! Loving the improvements in service and food!
