El Divino Dining Cocktails - McAllen

The service at this restaurant was fantastic, as was the food. We are usually disappointed when we ask for our meat well done, but not at this place. It was cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. We really enjoyed our meal.

We started out with a Brussels Sprout appetizer which was delicious. Sweet savory and just a bit spicy. We then tried their Soft Shell Crab Burger and their Grilled Pork Belly. Both were good. I expected the pork belly to be soft since it was brined and baked slowly for hours, as per the waiter but found that while good it was a bit cold and tough. The staff was great.

I had a reservation at this restaurant on Friday and the check-in process was easy. We were seated right away, even though the restaurant was almost full. The service was excellent, with plenty of waitstaff available and our server was very attentive to our needs. My meat was cooked perfectly and the drinks were excellent. The menu had a lot of options, which was a bit overwhelming, but understandable given the current circumstances. Overall, it was a great dining experience and we look forward to going back.

I won a Valentine's day raffle to have dinner here. It was okay. Portions were decent. It was expensive from what I saw. I feel like there was a lot of hype that it didn't live up to. The atmosphere was very nice, live music was good as well. But I just could not justify the price. Also I requested to have my steak cooked more before hand and they told me they didn't recommend it and could not since all the food coming out was being cooked to the same specs but they took the ladies in the table besides mine back to the kitchen to cook more.

Nice place and great tasting. My wife enjoyed her fish tacos, and my Peri Peri Chicken was delicious. However, the service was slow and the server was not always sure whose order was (it was a party of 15). The price was a bit high for what I got.
