    I can't say enough great things about this wonderful neighborood find. The food is consistently good. Each time I visit and try a new dish, it's done with incredible technique and the flavors are always spot on. The Sea bass, Lamb Chops, Roasted Salmon and Chicken are all delicious. If you ever want a great night out, but not quite sure where you want to go, add Divan to your "Go-To" list. Definitely in my top 5 for the DMV.

    We decided to try something different and Darvish fit the bill. Staff was helpful with the menu and choosing something different. Everything from the appetizer to the dessert was excellent. The only real complaint was how they handled the alcohol. I ordered a basic vodka tonic with a twist. A nice refreshing drink for a hot summer day. The drink was fine but on the bill they charged me $18 for the vodka, $5 for the tonic and $3 for the wedge of lemon (ye they substituted lemon for lithe lime). Pricey yes but not unexpected for the DC area but just have a single price, why the breakdown and the markup on the lemon is a bit much. We will be back but will likely skip the alcohol and the associated up charges. If you are going to go skip the alcohol or stick with the wine.
