    Wonderful experience for my boyfriends birthday. The food was delicious! We ordered the rack of lamb in which was cooked to perfection at medium rare. Our waitress kept our dinner paced properly, checked in appropriately and truly enhanced our dining experience and we will be back!

    It was my fiancé’s first time being in Divan restaurant and we both enjoyed it. We would definitely recommend it to our friends and will come back again. The only thing we were not comfortable with was the music, it was beautiful, but a little bit loud. Overall we loved it.

    We ordered the Prix Fixe menu. All of our selections were delicious! Our service was superb. We sat in a quieter area and it was very nice to be able to hear each other and not have to talk over noise or loud music. Overall we were very impressed and will definitely be back!
