I guess Feb 14 is a busy date but the service was almost terrible, fixed menus with just two options. Very expensive, and on top of it they pre-charged the service "tip".

Service is good as usual. Food is a bit so-so. Too salty and the meat is too soft. Does not feel the tenderness of the meat and felt like pressure cooker food.

Great service, very friendly. Lobster bisque was amazing, as well as dessert. Scallops could do with a more consistent sear (some were perfect, others less so). Mains were nice. Love DJ was a great touch, music at a perfect volume to enjoy while not inhibiting conversation.

I went there for New Year's Eve dinner. At first booked for regular reservation not the special menu but unfortunately, there was a glitch in the system ended up that no regular reservation provided. So, I had to choose the New Year's Eve course instead. The food was good and the server was amazing. The price should include at least one drink.

We were super happy with our server Karolina also the food was delicious, we appreciated the micro greens and the edible flowers as they not only add nutritional value to the meal but also make the dish look classy. We found the music little too loud but when we addressed the issue it was turned down. Over all we enjoyed our experience.

The restaurant failed to notify us before arriving that our ala carte dining was changed to a set menu because that was the only available option. However to compensate they did discount us 20% off the food but still prior or more coordination between OpenTable and the restaurant to be more transparent with customers as to not shock them with a staggering price and no other option on a busy holiday would have been great.

We went to Diva at the Met for our Christmas dinner. It was an absolutely delicious 4 course meal, everything from the appetizers to the entree and the dessert. The cocktail menu was varied and exciting. The service was excellent and efficient from start to finish. We would highly recommend the restaurant and would very happily dine there again.

We were on a tight timeline to get to the Elton John concert - our server made great suggestions on speedy tasty menu items and they fed us and got us on our way right on time! I’ve been to Diva many times, so take your time to enjoy the great food - but if you are in a rush, Diva can accommodate! Well done!

Diva at the Met used to be a reliably good restaurant that had a good range of options. I recently hosted family from out of town here and I was shocked at how bad it was. Not one person in our group finished their meal - more than half full plates went back to the kitchen but the server only asked if we wanted it boxed up and then pushed dessert - also unfinished. Hardly anything available gluten free, the vegetarian entree was a gloopy mess of quinoa, dried out chicken breasts, dried out cake. We wondered if the food is even being prepared here or just brought in and heated.

Diva at the Met did not live up to expectations at all. My partner had been there years before and remembered it as a high end dining experience with a great menu. Knowing that things change over time and that COVID has impacted many businesses, we made sure to check the website to make sure they had the same menu and had my heart set on trying the Stilton cheesecake to celebrate my birthday. It was a total bait and switch, they haven’t bothered to update their website, the new menu was standard pub fare, the carpets were filthy and there was zero atmosphere. I will say they had decent serving staff, but we will definitely not go back. Highly disappointing!!
