   We were expecting a more elevated experience for some reason, but there are no frills to this. This is a casual dinner spot so no need to get dressed up like we did. The food was really tasty and plentiful, and the drinks were strong. Loved that they’re open later than most. All for a great value. Will be back!

   Had a very large noisy party. Made it hard to have conversation even with husband sitting right next too me. Service suffered because of this party. Not sure what the solution would have been. Food fine.

   I love Divan. But why did you take a 2:30 Brunch reservation only to tell us when we arrived that the kitchen closed at 2:30? It was all very confusing - we ended up getting some food and hookah but it was clear they wanted us out. If you close at 2:30, take the last reservation at 1pm. Waiter did his best but he was even confused.

   We were visiting from Chicago for a rare mother/daughter trip. I reserved a table at Divan based on great reviews. We were looking forward a special evening for us to hang out, chat, and enjoy good food. Our reservation was for 7pm on a Sat night. We checked in at 7:06pm after standing in a line to the hostess desk which is situated in a drafty, cold area at the entrance. The hostess was rude and unfriendly, immediately, without even a hello, informing us that our request for a quieter table could not be accommodated because it was a busy night. Then she told us to wait till we can get seated. Big parties that came in after us were seated before us. At 7:30pm I asked to cancel the reservation so I can re-book at another restaurant (the app won’t allow you to reserve another restaurant while you have a reservation already) and was informed that the hostess could not do that because the reservation system was “locked”. She repeated that we should come on weekdays instead of busy weekends (????) and that we have to wait because other guests do not respect the 2hr per table limit. Then at 7:40pm they finally took us upstairs to the table, which was tiny and squeezed in between other tables. It was super loud, and the dining room had a strong smell of fried food. We went back downstairs and asked if there was another table. We were offered to sit downstairs at a table near the bar which seemed ok at first as it was quieter there and it did not smell, so we sat down. The table was across from the entrance door which was constantly opening and closing so there was a draft, as it was a cold night. They did try to accommodate us by re-positioning a heater, and the bartender was very nice, but from where I was sitting, I was staring at the back of the stairs, an ugly heater and two cans of propane- hardly a celebratory and pleasant environment we were looking for. The menus were covered in plastic, there were no tablecloths on the tables in the bar area. We left.

    The ambiance was so beautiful, the service was amazing too. My girlfriend and I ordered the salmon pasta, and we both thought it was a bit tasteless. The ambiance and service was too good, so we will be coming back to try something else.

    So I planned a bday dinner at the restaurant and they exceeded my expectations. Service was phenomenal and o was the food. Keisha was the manager that made everything happen and Ivan was my server. I recommend going there and asking for those two.

    Loved the atmosphere - intimate and sophisticated. Staff were lovely and welcoming. Service was mostly great - food came out in a timely fashion, but prefer my cocktail prior to my appetizer. Hummus was delicious, duck confit was superb, melt in your mouth. Skip the grouper - dry and boring. House music not too loud, but almost. Would definitely come back, so many great things that I can overlook the few hiccups.

    This was our first visit to Divan since they changed locations and I didn't realize until we arrived exactly where it was. So what a delight as I had been intrigued by this structure for years. The interior is delightful. I've always enjoyed dining at Divan at the past but feel like their menu has taken a step up. We enjoyed the beet salad and duck confit for appetizers, scallops and lamb shank for entrees. And for the life of I can't the remember what the desserts where but they were great.

    We decided to celebrate my husbands birthday and Christmas Eve here. Our reservation was at 7:45pm. When we got there the restaurant wasn't very busy. We felt rushed by our waiter and at one point he even asked for our menus because he didn't want them to get dirty from the appetizers we ordered. Mind you all of the menus were laminated. The waiter came to take the rest of our order and seemed very impatient and annoyed with us when we were trying to make up our minds on what to order. I apologized and specifically mentioned it was our first time at this restaurant and didn't even get a generic "that's fine, I'm here to answer any questions you might have." My only advice to this restaurant is, stay closed on Christmas Eve if you don't want to serve people on special occasions.

    The service and the restaurant are perfect! Our food was not worth returning….. I had the salmon entree…..presented well on the plate but had no flavor and my alfredo was a soupy bland disappointment. The other dish was the lamb shank entree…… a bit funky tasting! Maybe this was a bad night! I came because of the good reviews!

    The food was very good with large portions. Make sure when making your reservations to choose the correct sitting area. I was unaware and booked a Hookah table which made it difficult to eat with the table being knee level. Also make reservations. I had checked Open Table before entering and saw there were several reservations and tables open but did not book. Once we get to the hostess she informed that without reservations the wait would be over an hour. I opened the app in front of her and booked a table we could be seated at within 20 mins.

    We made reservations for Divan on the Open Table app. We were driving in about 30 miles. Due to unforeseen traffic we attempted to call the restaurant to inform them we were running about 15 minutes late. Their telephone number would not answer or accept messages. The OpenTable App would not allow us to modify or change or reservation either. When we arrived 15 minutes late and explained the issue, they gave our reservation away and told up we could try and find a seat in the bar and possible eat there. Not the special occasion we had anticipated. We waited several minutes to be acknowledged, then after giving drink orders another 15-20 minutes waiting for our drinks. Food came out quickly and the wait staff from the kitchen was so nice and friendly. The food was excellent. But overall, this was not the experience we had hoped for.

    Excellent food and service! They hostess warned us about a big party coming and tried to seat us in the bar. When we said no thanks and a message should have been sent, she quickly apologized and sat us upstairs. Great! The seat was under a cool vent and our server noticed that. She said she'd try to turn down the air. But when that didn't work, she immediately moved us to a better seat! Excellent! The food hit all the right marks. The eggplant and the five spice potatoes were great ways to start especially the harissa sauce. The kabobs were perfectly tender and flavored plus the serving sizes were nice and full. The drinks were well made too. If a bit loud overhead music to get a energy vibe going is not your thing, that is part of the ambiance. So talking is a little difficult. But my wife and I enjoyed the experience and attentiveness to the point we both said definitely coming back!

    Spent the evening here for my mothers birthday! Really great food and atmosphere! I would have given 5 stars, however, there was a party that was extremely loud, making it hard to hear. This is something that is not necessarily in their control, so I can't be too upset, but it is definitely worth mentioning.

    I have been dining at Divan since before they moved into this new location. The food and service have always been great. Yesterday, I came in 1 hour before brunch (wonderful addition, by the way) ended, so I was able to have some quiet time to myself. I appreciate the staff allowing me to take my time. I REALLY needed this experience, and I will definitely continue coming in.

    This was my spouse and my first time dining at Divan. We were excited about dining here, as everything we’d read about the restaurant was very good. Divan is in an upscale section of Midtown, which added to our experience. Upon entering the restaurant, we were immediately hit with an exceptional ambience, which extended beyond the guest reception area to the upstairs dining area. The background music added to the restaurant’s swanky vibe. We had the humus appetizer with two glasses of their cab for a starter. We each had the grouper entree. Although the entree had a nice presentation (grilled grouper served on top of a rice mold includes some type of lima bean and garnished with orange slices and pomegranate seeds), for me, the taste was just okay. The grouper was lacking in flavor and a bit over cooked. The black bean humus appetizer was also nothing special. We plan to dine again at Divan. We love the ambience. Hopefully, next time, the food will live up to the hype. We will try different menu items.
