I went here for a birthday brunch with my partner and we were kind of disappointed by the experience. I thought that this was a jazz brunch (as advertised on social media and their website); however there was no jazz band, not even a DJ, just a Spotify playlist. I thought there was a strict dress code; however I saw some patrons in jeans and hoodies. The food came out lukewarm, but overall it was OK. We ordered the shrimp & grits, French toast, sausage, a couple pastries and cocktails. The croissant, sausage and shrimp & grits were good. The biscuit was just ok. The French toast was really greasy and not warm enough. The cocktails were really good. The space and overall atmosphere was nice. I would be open to coming back to try their dinner menu (hoping that they actually have live music), but I don’t think I’d return for the brunch. They also don’t seem to do anything special for birthdays so I don’t think I’d return for a celebration either.

Came here for dinner last night & it was very disappointing. We waited well over 15 minutes for a server to appear. Being in the service industry I was told the 2-2-2 rule. So that in itself was concerning. Before he arrived you could see people looking up and pointing at our table as if he hadn’t been greeted yet so like come over & do your job maybe? When the server arrived there was something off about him- he took our order and then next thing you know we had another new server. Our new server had much more character and enthusiasm. We ordered some apps and the lamb chops and “half pound” lobster tail. We asked to cancel the lobster and it still came to the table so we said fine. It had maybe 4 bites of meat to it. It was difficult to remove the meat from the tail which was strange. It was also very dry. My bf got the lamb chops and they were flavorless and mostly fatty. He had maybe half one chop and we decided to leave right after. The best kicker of the night was my bfs drink took well over 22 minutes to arrive and when we asked where it was our server said the bar was “slammed”. If you see from my picture the bar was not slammed. Two bartenders and 6 people there.

While I and my partner particularly liked the food, the service took a bit long, especially considering the fact that half of the restaurant was empty at the time that we went so that was a little disappointing in terms of the high price point. Otherwise the ambience is gorgeous.

We celebrated our anniversary at Divan and they made it special. We had the steak tartare, lamb chops and pasta with caviar and crabmeat. It was all delicious. Service was attentive and we can’t wait to come back on a night with live music!
