I walked into a really busy restaurant today! They told me they were running a Veterans Day special, and boy, were they busy! Despite the crowd, I still had a great time. I got to meet and talk with a lot of veterans at the bar, which was pretty cool. The atmosphere was lively, and the staff did a great job keeping up with everyone. Overall, a great experience!

We landed in Atlanta and came straight to this restaurant, and after a long day of traveling, I couldn’t have been happier with our decision! This was our first time visiting, and from the moment we walked in, we were blown away. The restaurant itself was absolutely beautiful, the atmosphere was amazing, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Our waitress, Amber, was truly the highlight of our evening. When I tell you I have NEVER experienced customer service quite like hers, I mean it! She was so welcoming, personable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what she does. By the end of dinner, I honestly felt like we had become best friends! 😂 She made us feel so comfortable and taken care of, and her energy made an already great experience that much more special. You can tell when someone genuinely loves their job, and Amber is the perfect example of that. She deserves all the recognition in the world! The food was incredible, came out quickly, and every bite was just as amazing as we hoped. Everything from the service to the food to the atmosphere was a 10/10. We also had the pleasure of meeting Walid, the manager, who personally came over at the end of our dinner to check on us and make sure everything was up to our expectations. That extra level of attention speaks volumes about the kind of establishment this is. He was just as welcoming and wonderful as Amber. It’s rare to come across a restaurant where the food is amazing AND the customer service is just as exceptional. Amber and Walid truly made our first experience unforgettable. If this is the standard of service here, I can already tell this won’t be our last visit! Thank you for making our first night in Atlanta so special. We will absolutely be back! ❤️

I had an amazing time at Divan! I have dined at this establishment several times but this time was different and very memorable. Chavon provided excellent service from beginning to end. She was friendly, attentive, and professional. Her food recommendations for my entree were top tier. I had the Beets Salad and the Duck Confit as my starters. Yum! Harris provided phenomenal service for the Hookah he prepared as apart of our dining experience as well. If you plan to frequent Divan, please ask for Chavon to be your server. She won't disappoint. And Chavon also surprised me with a special birthday dessert that made my day even more magical. 10 out of 10 experience!

We had the best rockeffeller oysters, then we had the short rib stroganoff. This meal was off the charts good, wish I had ordered a few more oysters. This place never disappoints.
