Nick was our server and he was very knowledgeable and made great drink recommendations. The appetizers were delicious, the main dishes were perfection and the desserts were compliments of the house for our birthdays. The owner touched our table and was very welcoming, highly recommend this elegant restaurant.
Fantastic atmosphere, great wine and food. Our server Arielle, was very attentive to us. Celebrating my sisters birthday, and Arielle brought out an AMAZING dessert! We'll be back!!! �
We had a great Mother’s Day Brunch. Everything from greeting us to the timing of each plate to the absolute greatest customer service you could ask for was provided. Expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for at this superb eatery. Rest assured if you go here you will be treated first class and with conviction. 5�
High-quality drinks, food, and service! Divani never disappoints- whether the occasion be an intimate dinner, or drinks and chatting at the bar.
Great food, great service, and great made to order drinks. The people here go above and beyond to ensure you and your guests have the best possible experience. This is our go to date night location, and we love it!
Amazing place with relaxing ambiance and wonderful staff. Our waiter was Micheal and he was amazing.

Nice and romantic setting. Delicious food. Great service. Thank you to our server Courtney for making our dinner special.
Very good food!!! The atmosphere is very nice. The best part was our waitress Airlle. So wonderful!!!!
Went for my birthday with quite a large crowd. Everything was wonderful. The servers were sweet and prompt and the food was great.
I had a lovely time and will be back again.
Also they have a pretty amazing happy hour.
The food was perfect and the service was great (Thanks Nick!). We loved the variety and will definitely be back to explore things we did not get the opportunity to try.
Excellent restaurant!!! Top shelf food and drink selections with first class service. Highly recommend!!!!
OMG the absolute best experience ever!! My hubby and I were in town for a wedding and we stayed in downtown Grand Rapids. I googled romantic restaurants and Divani popped up right away! OMG IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The ambiance was amazing!! Carlie & Michelle were so sweet warm and welcoming! I asked for great pic worthy drinks and wow they delivered just that and more!! WONDERFUL Wonderful experience! We will definitely be returning here again!

This restaurant is amazing!! Our favourite in the city hands down !! We go there every year for my birthday now is become a tradition 🎉 they are so friendly from the minute you walk until you leave, we are never disappointed. The vibe is cozy, the chairs are so comfortable and we love the candle light ambiance. Now the FOOD is amazing 😍 the quality of the ingredients are top notch and everything we have tried has tasted amazing. This year we tried the pork shank and the divani burger and wow !! If you are looking for a great place to celebrate yourself or just a really good dinner experience you need to check out this restaurant. The price really isn't that bad considering how amazing the food is and we love supporting a local business!! Looking forward to going back again and again !!
Bar Divani hosted our elopement reception a few weeks ago, and it was a 12/10 experience from start to finish. They were really quick with communication leading up to the day which I greatly appreciate! The food & drinks were INCREDIBLE, and the service was amazing. I really loved the ambiance of the space too. Highly recommend whether you're considering hosting an event here, or just stopping in for dinner. Thanks Wendy for all your help!
What a great place! I had a private event here for my Board of Trustees and it was fabulous. Best staff ever... friendly, helpful, and attentive. We did family style food. It was delicious and plentiful. Really great cocktails and a totally cool and unique atmosphere. Thanks Divani!
Took my girlfriend to Divani for her birthday. Shelley was our server and she was beyond outstanding. The lights were dim and the atmosphere was romantic. The food was hand-made and delicious, and the prices were fair. We will be back. This is a pic of the free dessert that they kindly gave us for her bday.
We had a wonderful time at Divani’s. The food and service was top notch. We tried so many restaurants at Grand Rapids but this restaurant was number one on our list. They were so accommodating and kind to us. Everyone in our group of 12 loved their orders. The duck three ways, BBQ ribs and bistro fillet were AMAZING. For appetizers, pierogis, crab cake, guacamole and salsa, and of course cheese tray were our top favorites.
My husband and I made a reservation here for our 2nd year anniversary. It is not a cheap restaurant but the price you pay is well worth the experience. From the moment we walked in the service was welcoming and professional. The hostess kindly greeted us and immediately made us feel like old friends. Our waitress also made us feel like we were her only customers and wanted us to know details about the special and other menu items. The food was delicious. We had the charcuterie board and guacamole/salsa introductions. For the main course we had the bistro filet and the barbecue duck. Both cooked perfectly with delicious vegetables sides. They graciously gave us a complimentary dessert in honor of our anniversary. As we dined our water was kept full but we were not constantly being disturbed. It was a beautiful evening sharing a special occasion at a restaurant I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a “fine dining” experience.
Best drinks you're ever going to have in your life! If you like an Old Fashioned, hold on to your hat! Marcus has 73 different variations he can make for you. Every one we had was amazing!
Bar Divani was a quaint restaurant with an old school lounge ambiance. There are dark colors and low lighting. The food overall was quite good, although I don’t know what the heck happened to the bread, it was genuinely the worst bread I have ever had. No taste, no browning, very soft, very cold, it was like wet flour. They served it with a roasted red pepper butter which had great color but again practically no taste. It was all calories for no payoff.
Anyways, the rest of the food was good! Steak was cooked well and the red wine sauce was yum.
A quick note that they only have one stall bathroom for each gender, so there was quite a line at times which was annoying.
It was nice but also pricey and I don’t know if I would return.
Michelle gave us absolutely EXCELLENT service and made for a wonderful experience… the bartender Karlee made some amazing drinks as well as Mocktails. Definitely recommended for dining, drinks, or desserts if going to spending time in Grand Rapids. The ambience and vibe of Divani is second to none !
Went to Divani on a whim for our anniversary and we were blown away. Great ambiance, thoughtful and attentive service, a crafty beverage menu and incredible food.
We came on a whim, and regret nothing! You can tell that everyone here cares about food. The drinks were great, the appetizer was delicious, the main courses were amazing, and the desserts were sublime. We are told that the drink and food menus are rotated seasonally; so there is always something new. They also accommodate gluten free. We will definitely be back.
I highly recommend Divani for your next event. They just did an event for our nonprofit and it was incredible. Every detail was considered. The bartenders were so nice; the drinks and the food were delicious. And Wendy our event manager was amazing to work with. Seriously go here!
The food is probably hands down better than the other two very pricey steak restaurants in downtown GR. We had a small wedding here in 2019 and have been back for our anniversary dinner each year since. If I could give it 10 stars, I would.
Anneli is absolutely wonderful and attentive. We walked pay this place 3 times before we went it and I'm Sooooo Happy We Did!!!!! From the second you walk in your jaw will drop. Is the prefect place to relax, converse, and lose track of the time. Our drinks well presented and tasted fantastic. AND THE BURGER!!! CHEF KEEP IT UP YOUR MY FAVORITE!!! I'm also not one for public restrooms, but the owner gave this place the life⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for sure my go to spot! Thanks guys!!
Friends of ours have been ranting and raving about this place for a while now. We stopped in late one night for a few drinks. The two people behind the bar were extremely kind. The bartender, Marcus (if I remember right) was and is exceptional at what he does. He made us a bunch of spin off drinks, his own recipes/twist and oh my goshhhh, they were AMAZING!!!!!! I cannot wait to go back. I have been telling everyone about this place and the bartender who makes top notch drinks!!! I’ll have to try the food next time :).
Every facet of our experience was fantastic. Marcus knocked it out of the park with every cocktail (we tried several). Their bone marrow is exceptional with a refreshingly different approach and flavor profile than most restaurants. We also appreciated that the bone was cut lengthwise, as it makes it much easier to access the marrow. Their charcuterie was the best presentation we've seen from a restaurant, and every element was delicious. For our main course, we had the pork shank and lasagna, which were both wonderful. The ambience was great and the restaurant itself is beautiful, and it's not stuffy at all. The service was wonderful, especially Morgan, who was kind, funny, attentive, and helpful. An often overlooked detail we greatly appreciated was how comfortable the chairs are. At risk of sounding snooty, we love fine dining and have been to many Michelin-starred and bib gourmand restaurants, so we tend to be more critical of nicer restaurants because of what we have to compare it to. Divani didn't disappoint. We don't have any critiques or suggestions and left completely satisfied. We went to a show after dinner and then decided to come right back for more cocktails, coffee, tea, and creme brulee to end the night. We live almost two hours away and will be back regularly.
Divani's "Elevated Room" was the PERFECT venue for a small private party for my wife's 60th birthday celebration. The table was beautifully set, the room warm and cozy (the professional photos are brighter than the room lighting), and the food selections were very nice and deliciously prepared. Wendy at Divani's was a very gracious and thorough planner, with a surprise or two of her own. For any food event of 16 or fewer adults (we had 12), I would highly recommend Divani's, specifically their private Elevated Room.
