Crab Cakes. Perfection…lightly breaded…delicious
Great food and atmosphere.. Food and cocktails were fabulous and server was very attentive but not overbearing. Highly recommend.
Slow but good. Went here on a Saturday night, got there and it was nearly empty. We were in grand rapids for something else and needed diner and just decided to walk around looking for a place, we were going to go Hopcat up the street but there was at least a 30 minute wait and it was obnoxiously noisy inside besides. So we wander up and see this place, and the menu looked good though we were woefully under dressed, but we were welcomed, everyone was very friendly.The wine I chose was good, I liked their wine menu system on the tablet, I ended up taking a bottle home ( I also liked that it had a cheaper take home price).I thought the prices, in general, looked cheap. There was one steak on the menu, flank steak, and at only $17, and it was one of the cheapest entrees. I don’t remember ever seeing a steak as one of the cheapest entrees before, of course flank steak is a less common cut as well. Maybe we don’t know because we were from out of town but it seemed more upscale, though it was a small restaurant, so I don’t know why another reviewer complained about the price.Like I said, the service was good and friendly and nice. No complaints there. It was a bit of an untraditional hostess, I couldn’t tell if she was the hostess or the manager honestly, she was very friendly, but as we ate I watched multiple parties enter, walk as far as the bar, but then quickly leave, without having talked to an employee. If she was off doing something else she might not have noticed them, seemed weird to me. Normal in a bar, abnormal in a restaurant, this is both… Anyways, everyone was nice and friendly to us, so I rank the service well.On to the food. I had the wilted spinach salad and it was excellent,very very good. Perhaps a tad overdressed, but that could have been the liquid being released from the spinach and or the torched brie on top. But it was a unique and delicious salad. My wife and I both had the aforementioned steak. Again, this was the flank steak, and it was excellent. A nice sized portion, very tender, delivered precut on the bias for maximum tenderness, perfectly cooked, in a really really tasty demi glace. It came with sides of gouda au gratin potatoes, brussells sprouts, and pearl onions. The onions were meh, the sprouts had good flavor, but were slightly undercooked (more al dente) to my taste, the potatoes were of course very good (with smoked gouda how could they not be?). All told though it was a $30 steak easy, I felt like it was a steal at $17. We had dessert, flourless chocolate torte with a blueberry sauce, it was good too, but then again, it was chocolate, so it probably had to be eh?Ambiance inside was nice, dim lighting, music you could hear, quiet enough for you to hear the rest of your party. All told, very pleasant.The one caveat was that the kitchen seemed slow. Its a small place, I’m not sure how big the kitchen is, and the food was good, maybe it just takes a little time to put out. I would definitely recommend the place.
One of GR’s Best. We always buy the Groupon when it comes up for this place. Two meals that we often get are the Ribs which are quite different than your average ribs and the rice curry bowl. There is also a mushroom appetizer that is amazing. All of the entrees are non-traditional but the attention to detail and inclusion of local products is awesome. The atmosphere inside is pretty cool but the ethnic music can get a little annoying after some time.
Amazing food and wine choices!. I went there on Feb 11, 2012 and it was probably the best food I have had in Grand Rapids. The beef tournedo that I had was cooked perfectly to a medium rare. It was not salty at all (I don’t ever put salt on my food, so when I eat something salty, I can tell). I also had the smoked salmon stuffed brie, and it was sooo good. By the end of the meal (and glass of wine), I was completely full and had a $60 bill for 2 people. We shared the rabbit ravioli, shared the beef tournedo, had the salmon brie and shared tiramisu. And I had a glass of wine. I think that’s a pretty good price. The food was definitely worth it.
Love Bar Divani! The staff is always amazing and attentive. They have a great selection of wine and beer. Not my first pick for dinner but my favorites are their flatbread pizzas!
Salty. Atmosphere is great and I would go back for drinks but not for the food. Food was pricey and too salty. My first impression was that store bought chicken stock killed all the flavor.
