We had been wanting to try this place out, so while we were trying to decide where to go on Mother's Day, we figured this was a good time to try it out. We arrived around 6:45 pm, it wasn't busy, one table seated outside and maybe 4 inside. We were seated fairly quickly, that is when the quick portion of this dinner stopped. After about 5 minutes, the server came over to take our drink order. My husband and kids placed their order and I asked her to give me a moment while I chose a glass of wine. She left and didn't return for over 10 minutes, finally with their drinks. We were ready to place our order for dinner, but when she delivered the drinks, I told her the wine I had chosen and she ran away before we could get another word it. It was another 10 minutes before my wine was brought back and we placed our order for food. During this time, we also had to send my son's lemonade back as there was a bug floating in it. Numerous times while we waited for dinner, we tried to get our server's attention to refill drinks, she never looked our way. After being there over an hour, my son's food was delivered, he got chicken breast with broccoli and french fries. The chicken was over the broccoli and the broccoli was steaming, but when I looked at the chicken I could see that it was pink, very under-cooked. I touched the pink part and it was not just cool, but cold. We gave my son his fries and then pushed the meal to the end of the table and tried to get the server's attention, this went on for 15 minutes. I finally got up to head to the bar to find someone when I saw them coming out with the rest of our food. When the server got there, I asked for the manager. She asked what the problem was, I told her to start with, the chicken is raw. She said ok and walked away. She manager came over a few minutes later, we showed her the chicken and told her about the lack of service we had been receiving, at this point, we had been there 1 hour and 45 minutes and our food had just been delivered. She was nice and offered us desert or something else, but at this point, we just wanted to eat and get out of there. Our food was decent, my daughter hated her mojo chicken, said the flavor just tasted off. I got the bow-tie chicken and broccoli with garlic sauce, it was decent. My husband got some fish dish, he said it was decent too, none of us had meals we could come back for. Oh, I did have the lettuce wedge salad, that was very good. I will say the manager took my son's meal off the bill (rightfully so, since all he ate was french fries) and then 25% off the entire bill. For me it isn't so much about the money as it was that we spent 2 hours at this place for mediocre food and horrible service. And the worst part, that my son was served raw chicken. I read through some old reviews here and saw that this isn't the first time under-cooked food has been reported. We would have gotten more wine and desert if the service had been better. read more

Mediocre at best. Scallops were salty, spinach had over cooked garlic. Butternut squash ravioli should have a savory sauce not sweet. Short ribs were tender but lacked flavor. read more

Friends recommended this restaurant and my husband and I decided to try for the first time last week. The staff was not very friendly and when we asked for recommendations, our waitress could not offer any. Ordered an alfredo dish with chicken and there was no chicken. When we brought this to her attention, she proceeded to use the fork to poke around the dish in an effort to find the chicken. When she could not, she offered to bring the dish back to the kitchen. When she returned the dish, there was diced chicken on top of the pasta that was now cold and the presentation was very unappetizing. Maybe it was an off night that we were there, however, left a lasting impression. read more

When I asked our waitress what she recommended she suggested the short ribs with risotto. She raved about the portion size and the melt in your mouth flavor of the beef. The presentation was Euge and piled high with crispy onion rings. When I got right down to the beef it was an approximate 4 ounce single short rib portion. Certainly not enough for leftovers as the very sweet waitress suggested. On the other hand my dinner meet ordered the meatloaf for the fourth time. I delicious moist creation with melt in your mouth mashed potatoes and a green vegetable. Certainly the better choice. I give this restaurant three stars !!! read more

I love this place. Cocktails are great. Their old fashioned is perfection. The food is so delicious! Every appetizer was so good, but the bruschetta was a particular treat. For entrees, the braised short ribs are divine. And the first bite of the seared scallops and shrimp over spinach and bacon risotto was so savory, I had to put my fork down and just enjoy the flavor. Service has always been impeccable. I cannot say enough good things about this place. read more

Delicious!!! I had shrimp and scallops on linguini and it was plentiful and great! My wife had the seared ahi and loved it! Bottomless cabernet! Service was awesome! Will come again! read more

I've been here several times in the last five years and the food is good. The wine selection is not great for a wine bar. The menu never changes which is strange for a bistro. That must be why there are not any young people here. read more

DeVine Bistro - No young people to be found. - New American Near Me - Wellington, Florida

Seriously, how is this place not packed out every night??? There is absolutely NO other place like this in or around Wellington. For a seemingly upper-middle class city, the cuisine here is majorly lacking. Chain restaurants run rampant here and are consistently busy. That breaks my heart, btw, but I digress.... Ok, so Devine: the name says it all! The food here is absolutely top notch. I could go on and on about this place but I will attempt to keep it short. What I've had: heirloom tomatoes, ahi tuna tacos, scallops and risotto, double French dip, and the ribeye. Not all at one sitting! Who does that? ;) Although sometimes I wish I could eat that much so I could have all those tasty things in one go... Everything was superb!!! Like, melt in your mouth, eat the last crumb, slap your mama kind of good. Do yourself a favor. Go here. This place is a home run every single time. Whether it's a dinner with mom, girl's night, date night, or a casual Tuesday it's going to be a total win. Btw, Rhianna (stellar server) and Kierstan (management extraordinaire) are fantastic! read more

Great food...but a bit pricey. Came highly recommended from my boss so of course I had to try it out. My friend and I went on a Saturday night and the place filled up quickly. We gazed at all the plates going by the table and couldn't wait to try out some dishes. The soup of the night was corn and crab chowder. I can't pass that up as I am a crab and corn chowder lover. It did not disappoint! We then tried the corn fritters...which were a bit of a let down. They had far too much breading and not enough corn. The last appetizer we tried was the crunchy oriental crab rolls. These were a bit strange, but tasted pretty good. For the main courses we shared the seafood spaghetti and the seared sea scallops and shrimp over risotto. Let me just tell you that if I could have licked the plates without looking like a looney...I totally would have. The entrees were prepared perfectly and were served piping hot. Our server was so nice and attentive, our glasses were never empty and even though the place was packed...she never forgot about us. I can't wait to go back and try the seafood quiche! read more

I have been going to Divine Bistro for years. The atmosphere just always seems to fit the event. A couple of girls getting together for dinner, a large group celebrating a birthday, quick quiet meal with my husband... Devine always seems to come to mind as a great place to go. The staff is welcoming and there is a family atmosphere which I love. The food is consistently wonderful. Both the presentation and flavor make this a epicurean delight. The chef is unafraid to experiment with new things but keeps our favorites on the menu too! The prices are fair and portions appropriate. The bottomless wine is a treat! Risotto, bacon wrapped dates, so many favorites! You can sit outside here as well, which is a great option. Love it. read more

Went on a Saturday night and had dinner at the bar. the place was dead, but we wanted to try it. bartender was friendly recommended a martini that my GF really liked. sriracha shrimp were caked in batter, which was unfortunate because the sauce was good. the french dip was really good fish dish I had was ok drinks were pretty pricey. read more

This place is incredibly amazing absolutely love it!! First time here and the service was incredible I ordered off the delight menu for $16 it came with a 3 course meal Caesar salad, chicken penne vodka and dessert! I was so astonished by the service and the food tasted amazing! It's a small cute little place definitely good for any occasion! So glad I came here. read more

Stumbled upon this place recently after getting tired of the same ole, same ole. This is a wonderful, quaint, classy place. Nice menu, great staff and really enjoyed what we've ordered thus far. Had the french dip the first, time - which was awesome. The beet salad is one of our favorites so kind of stayed with that the last few times. They serve a beautiful round of flavorful bread while you are perusing the menus, the regular menu, the specials menu and a third menu. A great variety of selections for most. A full bar and wine menu. This is one of our new favorite go to places. read more

Had a nice meal here with our group of 10. The staff was attentive and everyone liked their meals. I tasted the meatloaf and fried green tomatoes. The portions are very large so I would recommend sharing. Would recommend this place for a casual meal. Oh also, they have a bottomless glass of wine for $6! Awesome! read more

Five us went on Saturday evening to Divine. The place was about 1/3 full and we had a reservation. We ordered the appetizers which were the Calamari and Beet salad. The Calamari was rubbery and the breading was soggy. The Red sauce really had very little flavor. The beet salad was pretty good. Two of us ordered the Scallops and shrimp over risotto. This was the most disappointing as the shrimp and scallops were small and I think there were only two or three of each and the risotto was terrible. Also, the seasoning was way over done and I had to scrape it off just to eat these tiny morsels. For $28 dollars I think it cost them about $2.00 to make this!! The rest of the meals were ok but for $250.00 there are many places I would rather go. Will not be back. read more

Amazing food and great cocktails Service is always a 10. Bangin Shrimp is a great appetizer and the short ribs are out of this world.

"Nice Addition to Wellington" Friends raved about DeVine Bistro so we tried it. interesting menu. Stared with Organic Roasted Red Beet Salad ,sliced beets, citrus wedges, spring greens, candied walnuts, warmed walnut crusted goat cheese and topped with a basil vinaigrette . Very good and my wife is addicted to beets. Also ordered the Crisp Chili Dusted Calamari roasted tomato aioli and a garlic tomato sauce for dipping. Just fair, needed to be crispier . For entrees, we tried the -Hour Guinness Dijon Braised Boneless Short Ribs mushroom bacon risotto and crispy onions. Must try, fall off the bone tender with lots of flavor. I had the Sesame Seared Ahi Tuna basmati rice, stir fry vegetables, drizzled with a ginger soy glaze , good but not great. They have a very nice wine list but we opted to bring our own wines and pay the corkage. read more

Lack of service. Went on a Friday night it wasn't busy At all but it took forever for our food to come out.

We had dinner at DeVine tonight. Our waitress was very attentive and overall,the food was good. The focaccia bread was fresh. It would have been a nice touch if it was served warm. I started off with the fried green tomato and crab appetizer. The presentation was very nice and it tasted very good. The only problem was that one of the battered and fried tomatoes was very undercooked. I had the seared scallops and shrimp over bacon and spinach risotto and my girlfriend had braised short rib over mushroom and bacon risotto. Both dishes were excellent. My son had chicken parmigiana over pasta which was also good. The portions were good sized. I only had a glass of wine, but they have a nice wine list. For desert we had the warm chocolate cake which was only average. It would have been much better with a liquid or fudge center. Apparently reservations are encouraged. This was the first time we were there, so we didn't know this. We were there early...around 6 on a Saturday night, so they seated us right away but relegated us to the table in back in front of the rest rooms. There are other things on the menu I want to try. We will be back and next time we will have a reservation. read more

By far, hands down the best food in wellington and surrounding area. If you want fantastic food, go there Enough said read more

Wonderful food the soup was homemade cream of mushroom and the fish was so fresh. My husbands veal parmigiana was to die for. service was great and the chocolate cake almost put me in a coma. Wine flowed like water because their special for $10gives you all the wine you can drink. Great food great service and great company. read more

To Theresa L who apparently never learned any manners, maybe you should stick to the chain style restaurants that you claim you don't like. You clearly don't have a palate to eat at a restaurant with food that is prepared expertly, from scratch that doesn't come from a Sysco food truck. We frequent this restaurant often and the food couldn't be better, the staff couldn't be friendlier, more attentive or more professional. Resorting to personal attacks tells me everything I need about you. read more

This has become one of my favorite go-to restos in Wellington; the twilight dinner menu is a singular bargain in this area featuring such entrees as Short Ribs and Chicken Picatta. Wine list is extensive and not over-priced. Always fun to come early for dinner and hang out at the bar, chat with new people and enjoy the great food and attentive service. read more

My wife and I ended up going here last minute after bailing on our plans to go to Bone Fish Grill. We were hesitant due to never going here or looking at the menu before. The service was great and the food was phenomenal- from the bread, the bacon wrapped dates, baked stuffed flounder and dessert. All of it was excellent! Definitely will be back. The menu is packed with many great entrees and appetizers. Check these guys out if you haven't! read more

Best restaurant in town by far! Great atmosphere, service and food. Family owned and everything is made to order and from fresh ingredients. They have amazing drink and dinner specials. Their delight menu is only $16.00 and you get a salad or soup, entree and dessert. They have a variety of things on the menu from fresh fish, chicken, steak and pasta. Desserts are amazing as well. It's our favorite restaurant to go! read more

One of the best spots in Wellington!! (Very very clean which I have to appreciate) Ordered take out for my mom's birthday and everything was perfect and very large portions. It stayed so hot too! The bread they serve is unique and a better spin on what other places serve. We started with the calamari which was crispy and came with two excellent sauces. For the entree we had the grilled blackened mahi mahi which came with a healthy serving of sides, the fish tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. My grandma had the bone in pork chop and claims its "the best she's had in years, very moist". I had the braised short rib risotto, which was so rich! Every flavor came together perfectly. I can't wait to try more dishes. read more

The food was cheap and lacked any flavor. This is a wine themed and the wine was vinegar. Only suitable if you like diner food. Waitresses are low class. Very low end restaurant. read more

Because of the glowing reviews four of us dined at Bistro Divine on a Saturday night with great expectations. The wait staff is impossibly slow. After our food was delivered we never saw the waitress again until she brought the check. This is a very noisy place, so forget conversation. The crab cakes were tasteless and lacking crabmeat. The pork was undercooked. The tuna was fair. Either this was an incredibly off night or lots of people are delusional. We will NOT go back! read more

Devine has an excellent menu, with American fair offering something for everyone. The ambiance is also pleasant, although the tv sets cheapen the otherwise bistro-appropriate atmosphere. The low point of our visit was the service (or lack thereof). The waiter took a long time to make his first appearance, and only five minutes after we got tired of waiting and asked a staff member to send someone over. That, unfortunately, was a sign of things to come. We ordered our drinks and food at the same time, and saw the waiter only twice again, once when he offered us another beverage, and finally, after a long wait, when he brought us the check. It's a shame the poor service became an anecdotal topic of conversation. It's all we'll remember from our visit. read more

I've been here three or four times and the service is usually slow. Last week I was there with my girlfriends sitting outside and a server came and went three times to the table next to us not even looking our way. I asked her if we could order something and she said she get someone. And no one came after a total of 20 minutes. I had to go inside and ask for attention. I don't understand why there was an issue with the service outside.The hostess the manager and a server finally did help us and were very nice and very sweet. We love the food and drinks. I guess I will try again, I don't know. read more

It was ok. The atmosphere is not the greatest and the food is just ok. The place was super busy so obviously people like it but it just wasn't our type of scene. read more

This was our first visit to this restaurant. We enjoy a good bottle of wine with dinner and figure this place should be pretty good at that. Haha! Nope! First off we asked for a bottle of Mars, to which we were told was out of stock. Then next bottle of wine we asked for, again out of stock. So, we asked to try a Cabernet and was not impressed. When then decided on a Merlot. The waitress brought the bottle to the table to open it and the cork crumbled. We looked a little closer and realized it was 2012, so it's understandable 10 year old cork. The waitress was not aware of how to handle a crumbling cork so she left the table embarrassed with the bottle. She then returned with the wine in a decanter and said if you like the wine we will give you 50% off. (That kinda worried me with the "if you like the wine"). So we tasted the wine, and unfortunately it was past it's prime and was no good. At this point, we've been trying to get a glass of wine for over 30 minutes (quite annoying now). We decided to go the safe route and just order an OVERPRICED bottle of meiomi. The wine was fine. We thought that at some point the manager would be over to apologize for our experience, maybe offer some compensation. Nothing! We then requested to speak with her. She showed up at our table with "you want to speak to me". We explained our disappointment with the chain of events and stated we thought the wine was EXTREMELY overpriced and her response was "the price is on the menu if you don't want to pay it don't order it". Geez, ok. We weren't looking for anything for free, but at least an apology. No apology for our experience, nothing! She then just walked away. Needless to say we will NEVER return, and you can make your own decisions. But if something isn't right, don't expect them to take ownership and fix it. Seems like it's your fault no matter what. read more

I've eaten here several times and the food and service is always great! The owners are so nice and welcoming, they even made a special dish for me because I can't have certain foods and it was amazing! Each time I've been it feels like I'm at at someone's house eating delicious home cooked meals.. I love it read more

It's my favorite restaurant! Amazing food, awesome service and great atmosphere! Owner and staff are always friendly! The menu has tons of choices so you never get board! read more

The place itself is very nice and the food is very good. I was disappointed by the overly cooked calamari (very tough and dry) and the sub-par service. read more

This is a great place. Awesome and unique foods are served. A Must try if you are anywhere near Wellington. Great bar scene after 9pm too. Outdoor seating is available. read more

I like the apps and dinners here. I've eaten at the bar and at a table. Food is delicious and consistently good.

Nice atmosphere, interesting menu, reasonable wine list. That's the good Two of four dinners arrived cold, had to send back. Plates were hot, food not so much so. Meatloaf was dried by reheating. Wine pour was a bit skimpy for price. Deserts were excellent, but it took 10 minutes to get the ordered coffee with the carrot cake ( which was pretty darn good) Don't know if the problem was with the kitchen or wait staff not getting the food the table in time, but the restaurant was not busy. Not sure if I will revisit. read more
