Divino is such a gorgeous restaurant with great food, beautiful cocktails, and really good value for money! I ordered a lychee martini (which wasn’t on the menu) and was so impressed, the bar staff really went the extra mile and it was delicious and beautifully presented. I’d have given a full 5 stars, but unfortunately one staff member tainted the experience. From the start, her comments about us not ordering starters or extras felt unnecessarily judgmental and pointed, and we noticed her watching us and making faces at various points throughout the evening. Before leaving, went to the toilets and I’m not sure if this member of staff intentionally followed us but she opened the door made a face, shut it then lingered outside before doing it again with a comment about the upstairs being closed and needing to escort us out.

On a whole can definitely say won’t...
Read moreSo beautiful in every way Menu superb . Setting beautiful. Staff wonderful. Atmosphere perfect ! We are staying at a hotel nearby and this was a restaurant we found on Google as nearest to there. Looked good so we walked over . It beautiful, the outside presents well and the interior doesn't disappoint. Spacious and I like the fact all the tables are set enough apart from each other. The atmosphere is just right and the menu is so good ! The food is superb , great portions and freshly cooked.
