My dodgeball team will often take the pilgrimage to Nirvana after a Sunday game, to take advantage of the $15 sangria pitchers. The food and the prices are 4-star, but the service my boyfriend and I received the last time we were here bumps it down to a 3.
I ordered the fruit and cheese plate, which was delicious. You could tell the fruit was organic and the portion was huge. I also ordered the butternut squash soup, which is usually very flavourful and tasty, but this time it seemed watery. I'm pretty sure my bill came to just over $10, which is a great price for what I got.
The service here ranges from almost acceptable to downright horrible. Sunday afternoons are usually fine; you just have to deal with indifferent waitstaff. Who would have guessed that the worst service I ever had here was on a Tuesday night? The place was packed with only two servers working, and what I can only assume was one chef. The fruit plate and soup (no cooking required) took over an hour to come out. The waiter was flirting with a girl in the back of the restaurant instead of taking plates or refilling water.
I will always come back to Nirvana, but probably not after dinnertime. If I'm in the neighbourhood after 6:00 I'll choose one of the many other restaurants nearby.
