Stumbled upon Devine for a late dinner with a friend. Liana took personal care of us and engaged with us at just the right level. The short ribs were super tender and flavorful and my friend said the seafood pasta was seasoned perfectly. The eclectic wine list worked very well with our dinner choices. The Basque cheesecake was the perfect capper. Highly recommend.
Awesome! The love and attention you get at at Devine is only exceeded by the quality and deliciousness of the food. Go here!

Really nice place. Creative food and friendly service. We had the Mac and cheese (amazing), delicata squash, salmon tartar, and Caesar Brussel sprouts. Small sharing plates. All very good.

WOW - What a gem in downtown SJ. Had a girls night out and shared quite a few items from their menu. The mac and cheese was very, very good and our absolute favorite! The service was outstanding! I highly recommend this 'divine' restaurant!!

What a lovely place this is. My husband and I went in on a whim, beckoned out of the rain by their warm cafe lighting. The welcome we received once inside was as warm as the lighting. So cozy, with attentive service. They really want you to enjoy your experience. The cheesemongers board is really fun, with thoughtful accompaniments to each cheese bringing out flavors in unexpected ways. The wine flights are fun too, no need to pick a single wine to try. Our very helpful server told us that this is a woman owned business, being the inspiration of the hard working lady chef preparing food behind the counter. The Brussels sprout Cesar lingers in my imagination, and the vanilla panna cotta knocked my expectations out of the water, packed with real vanilla bean flavor.I separately came here on a weeknight with girlfriends to try out their prix fixe menu- only available Tues through Thurs- and we had so much delicious fun. We really need to make this a ritual.This place is right in the heart of downtown, but hidden behind the historic construction site that never moves forward, in a storefront that hasn't been able to maintain a tenant. Fingers and toes crossed that this is the one. Definitely go out of your way to check it out if you can.

This is one of my favorite places in San Jose! It is quaint, cozy, and the food and wine are exceptional! Last visit we had the garlic bread and the melted cheese on top was so flavorful we had to order a second round. The staff is always friendly and they give great recommendations. I've been here 3 times in just a few months and can't wait to go back!

I was enjoying myself too much and stuffing my face with the cheese and accompaniments that I missed pictures of our second board of three cheeses, extra tasting of a blue, duck prosciutto, pasta with sausage and burrata cheese, asparagus with lemon and reggiano. The restaurant is holding it down in an area with very little foot traffic. They can do this because the offerings are delicious, the service is top notch and the owner friendly down to earth and generous with her time. We plan to be back!

Food was tasty!! Wine selection was good as well!Be aware that the portions are small and the presentation could be greatly improved.I would definetely suggest white tablecloths on the outside patio tables to add a nicer ambiance.
As the theme song goes, sometimes you want to go where everyone knows your name, and Devine Wine and Cheese truly embodies that comforting at-home feeling. It's like your favorite neighborhood gem that you may have traveled miles to visit. This charming establishment exudes warmth and authenticity. It's evident that the passionate team behind the scenes is genuinely devoted to making your experience exceptional. The open kitchen concept amplifies this. These are not chefs making food for "tables". These are dedicated artisans pouring love into dishes for people they can actually see. We gorged on the cheese and meats to begin. Such an abundant selection of cheeses, it's nice to indulge. We also hit up the pinsa flatbread as a starter which was delicious. Next, we shared a few mains. As is typical, we went for the Miss Mary Mac and Cheese, the short rib, and the mushroom pasta. Too many carbs, you say? Sure it is. And, even though it means another 10+ miles, it was soooo worth it.

I love this place! Leona, the owner, is an amazing cheese connoisseur. The wine selection is fabulous and paired very well with the happy hour or dinner menu. I would highly recommend for private parties, dinner or brunch.

Don't know much about wine so I had to be guided through that. The food however, is incredible. Everything is top notch. Cheese selection is the best I've come across. I wish I could come daily.

First time I came here around 5 when they opened, I was told around 6 they will be full and they cannot seat me without a reservation. So we left and ended up at Secco which was REALLY GOOD restaurant. It was actually better than this one in my opinion. I came the next day here to check it out with a girlfriend. It was OK. We came for dine week and ordered one of each on their menu. I was more impressed with Secco. The salmon in my pasta I thought was raw but I guess it was cooked with souve. I didnt like. I would probably be back for cheese and wine. The area wasnt too bad. It was kinda entertaining to see shady people across the street in the low income apartments. Over all the place was ok. Glad i was turned away after eating at Secco since it was really good and that was my 2nd choice.
