A chic reception area, with soft seating and a smart designer bar where guests can relax both before and after dinner, sets the tone at Simon & Nicola Nightingale's stylish restaurant - which is off the beaten track on the Mall.
Open since 2007 - and taken over by the present owners in 2009, Nirvana filled a niche in the local market by offering a variety of quality food in very pleasant surroundings.
Evening menu choices include a comprehensive à la carte menu, and the contemporary dining area helps provide a very pleasant ambience in which to enjoy Simon Nightingale's cooking.
Desserts are traditional with a selection of Irish cheeses also offered. The wine list is not long but suits the food well, and includes a fair number of choices under €20. Light meals are available during the day.
With pleasing surroundings, a wide range of food to suit varying occasions and good value, this place looks set to be a success.
