We came in as a group of 6 and had a fantastic time. We got the jamon & caviar, lamb chop, ribeye, mashed potatoes, and oysters. They were all very good - portion sizes are a little small but the quality of the food is top notch. They had live music on Saturday night at 8:30 pm and she was wonderful.

Had my birthday dinner on the mezzanine level & everything was spot on. From the service to the food, and I can't forget the live music, it really made for a perfect start to my birthday weekend. Would highly recommend!

My honest and true review of Divan! I was so excited to try this restaurant after receiving a recommendation from a friend.

What I loved:
- Customer Service (the waiter, Mark/Marcus) was so pleasant, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable of the menu.
- The welcome cocktail! We were treated with a complimentary lemon drop and it was so tasty.
- Wait time for food. I see a lot of people complaining for the food wait time but ours came out immediately (even before our drinks).

What I thought could improve:
- We went for “Happy Hour” but made it at 6:15. We weren’t offered a HH menu but we knew we were late so we didn’t bother, but this option was also not mentioned to us either.
- We stayed until 7:45 waiting for the live music only to be informed they weren’t coming on until 8:30. I wish this information would had been easily visible somewhere!
- The food wasn’t spectacular, but it was okay! My friend and I slightly enjoyed our meal.
- Our cocktails came out way later than our food which was a bummer, but we’re still able to drink and chat after our meals.

I would love to give Divan a try again, but just maybe not in the near future. Our server was amazing though!

The ambiance is great. Great live music. However, CHECK YOUR BANK STATEMENT after visiting this restaurant. I went to Divan for an event and I had gotten two drinks. The first one was exactly the wine I ordered. The second glass was wrong, when I tried to send it back the server told me it couldn’t be wrong. It definitely was. Then all of a sudden she told me that they were sold out of that wine, it seemed like she just didn’t want to take it back. Anyways, when I paid for the second drink (the first one was free with the event), I guess she didn’t like the tip amount I left because I got an email from my credit card company asking if I had authorized a 108% tip on my tab. I had NOT. I’ve never had anything like this happen before but want to warn everyone to make sure they check that statement amount after visiting Divan.

Had the most hospitable brunch experience with my friends at Divan this weekend. The food, especially the seafood tower, was incredible. Don’t skip out on the baked goods! The presentation and selection of drinks was also phenomenal. I love the smoke show and the presentation of the drink! Highly recommend for those who are looking for fun videos to take of drinks around the city. I also really like their Bloody Mary. Our server Kris made the experience that much better. He was very familiar with the menu and provided the best recs to cater to each of our food tastes. He was extremely friendly and made our time at Divan a wonderful one. We also got to meet the manager Tony who was also very hospitable and made us feel at home at Divan. Definitely recommend for the ultimate brunch experience!

An excellent restaurant for dinner with friends and family or as a date night. The food is wonderful with steak, seafood and vegan options. The service is perfect. Live music around 8:30pm.

The night was fantastic from the seafood tower appetizer to the filet mignon dinner. You’d think the live entertainment would have been the highlight of the night, but it was really the service from our amazing server Wolf! I would recommend asking for his section if you can, though everyone at Divan was personable and attentive. He was a shining star of above-and-beyond care especially for my complicated allergy needs! We will definitely be back.
