Food was fantastic! We had a great seat by a window over looking a waterfall and the city. The dip with home chips is amazing! After one bite we said we would be back for the dip alone. Then the meal came and we will be regulars here! The steak sandwich was great with a delicious Caesar salad and Mac and cheese! Our server Melissa was great, so friendly. Our mouths were watering after hearing the dessert but we were too stuffed to order. We will be returning! Already told friends! Compliments to the chef! read more

Diverge in Dover is permanently closed. Google Diverge Dover, NH. The website gives no info. Lack of business? Only opened for dinner? Poor planning. Area is over saturated with restaurants. read more

I was wrong with my first impression. Good service and very good Mac n cheese. Worth a visit.

Beginning to end it was top notch. Service was efficient and friendly. Love the mill buildings of course. The food was amazing. The pork belly app was large and melted in your mouth. Scallops were seared to perfection on delicious risotto. The fondue burger was a taste explosion. Such a great meal! Best place I've been in a while. Coke products! read more

Enjoyable meal with quick and friendly service! Prices were reasonable and sandwiches were packed with flavor. The homemade chips were an added bonus. We really enjoyed our meal here and are thankful to Yelp for leading us here. I would highly recommend the chicken sandwich and steak sandwich. Both were flavor bombs! read more

Called the day of my birthday dinner to make a reservation for 8 people. Shannon got back to me right away and was able to get us in for 6:30 the same night. We were seated as we arrived, offered drinks (their drinks are so good! I had the mint mudslide, so yum!), shared two orders of "the dip" which is the best corn dip I've ever had and it comes with their house made potato chips. I had the chicken sandwich (and tried some of the Mac and cheese) and wowwww! So yummy! The waitress had heard it was my birthday and offered my friend to bring out a piece of cake with a candle. I was really impressed and surprised. The attention to detail, the service, the energy, and the setting made my birthday special. Will be going back. read more

Tasty stuff! My wife ordered a burger and I ordered a lobster roll. Both were great. We also had some chips and dip and the stuffed clams as appetizers. Both tasty as well. read more

Enjoyed the food . Service was solid. I would say a good place to visit. You won't be blown away but still a nice relaxed environment.

WOW. Everything about this new place is spot on. The service was warm, welcoming, and fun. The interior and the outdoor patio are both absolutely gorgeous. And my GOD, the food was SO FKN GOOD. Every bite of it!! The sides, the mains, the drinks. I'm about to move in next door!!! read more

Diverge - Sirloin steak with double broccolini (typically served with broccolini and scalloped potatoes, but substituted per my own request). - New American Near Me - Dover, New Hampshire

I went with colleagues and found street parking nearby and a quick walk to the restaurant. We were greeted by our waitress who was friendly and knowledgeable! Her recommendations were spot on! I had the cod it was fresh and in a delicious sauce. I would recommend to family and friends! read more

This place was amazing! The food was extremely good. The appetizer best fish tacos were some of the best I have ever had. The chicken sandwich was also extremely good, especially so with the unique addition of the spicy red cabbage. My friend had the French dip and loved it. The service was fast and polite. I think there were only two servers working the entire dining room and we had no delay in ordering and receiving food, or drink refills. read more

Favorite Dover restaurant - excellent friendly service, quality, flavorful food with several menu items, amazing cocktails, and several beers on tap. We dine here a few times each month and order take out occasionally. We love the Black Forest cake cocktail, Brussels sprouts, Caesar salad, and the Linguine. read more

One of the hiding gems in Dover. I have yet to have a bad dish at Diverge. At times they have seemed understaffed but the amazing front of house has always made up for it. read more

This restaurant is the best in Dover. Excellent service and food. Definitely a place to stop enjoy and come back to. Very comfortable and enjoyable. Never disappointed in any of the choices on the menu. read more

The food is deliciously ECLECTIC and AMAZING!!! Comfort classics kicked up 10 notches. Attractive bar/restaurant with accommodating staff - delicious choices of draft/bottled beers including - so difficult to find a delicious non alcohol beer my husband enjoys. Deliciously made cocktails too. 5 STARS! read more

Decided last minute to order the Duck Special and the Shaved Steak Sandwich special. Both plates completely empty when finished. Food and Service was fantastic. read more

Amazing food and service. The tables were spaced out and it felt safe to dine in. Workers were all wearing a mask as well. Got the korean chicken sliders, linguine with chicken, and steak. Everything was so delicious. Can't wait to try the other items on the menu. They have dine in or takeout so if you haven't given this place a try, do it. read more

Delicious food! Highly recommend the burger! Casual ambiance and friendly service. Cant wait to try other foods on the menu.

Looking for something new and different so traveled from Exeter to Dover. Have been to a few of the restaurants around the Mills and it was father daughter lunch. If you do not try Diverge you are missing out! Good selection of Beer, great service and the food is AWESOME! Had the Brussel Sprouts and the Mussels. The portions were so big, we could eat more. Worth the 35 minute drive. read more

Delicious! My wife and I decided to give this place a whirl for a date night out and it hit all the marks for me. I had the Lo Mein and it was an experience. Good drinks and the menu gave plenty of variety. Looking forward to going back to give a few more items a try. The ambiance was nice, but throw some more decor up on the walls. But love locations inside the Mill. The staff was polite and attentive. Looking forward to future visits. read more

BEST FOOD IN DOVER. Diverge is the result of pure passion and culinary talent! We are regulars here (for takeout because we have little ones). The food is just incredible- absolutely inspired, meticulously made. There's nothing plain or boring about a single thing the chef creates, each item on the menu is a level up from anything you could get at other local restaurants. I can't even pick a favorite because I love it all, even our toddler loves the food (especially those house made potato chips!) The service is also wonderful. We've never had a bad experience here and we'll keep coming back! read more

We went here for lunch on New Years Day. The food was fantastic!! Had the crab cakes which were delicious and fresh. Everything seems to be made from scratch and of high quality. My partner had fish and chips that was a huge piece of fresh haddock with hot seasoned fries. Again, delicious... Service was great and attentive enough during this difficult time of Covid. Social distancing and masks are required and prevalent. We will definitely be back and Diverge will become a regular stop in the future. read more

This restaurant opened right before the COVID-19 and thankfully they have made it through to the other side. During this time, we've had takeout which was yummy, but decided to give inside dining a try. So glad we did. Staff was very welcoming and attentive. Food was amazing. Looking forward to going back to try out their other offerings. Don't miss out on the crispy brussel sprouts! read more

Can't comment on anything about this place other than the hours on the door said open at 4pm (it was Friday), but it was NOT open, and there wasn't a soul remotely in sight even shortly after 4pm. Not a place to try again after this first impression.....and the snotty reply to this review by the owner really means we will never be back. Timely service starts with opening the door on time, even if you have to apologize to customers who may need to wait for a server. Everyone has patience when treated with respect. read more

Great dinner! Nice service, spacious seating,. We had the Brussels appetizer and the chicken sandwich and French Dip. All ranked in the best top 2 for these entrees anywhere! Highly recommend! Were they short staffed ? Probably! But they handled this seamlessly! read more

My family and I decided to try this spot based on the reviews and it did not disappoint! Food was AMAZING and some of the best we've had in the area. We ordered the brussel sprouts, prime rib, lobster mac n cheese, and scallops.... all were 10/10... Can't wait to come back soon! Service was also great! read more

Had a great meal there last night. The Mussels and Brussels sprouts were the perfect start! The short rib and risotto entree was done perfectly. I would highly recommend this new Dover gem! Mel read more

Diverge, in downtown Dover, is one of our favorite restaurants. The hardworking owners are friendly and knowledgeable. Their menu features creative dishes, beautifully prepared, and using the freshest seasonal ingredients. We definitely give it five stars! read more

We have quite a few good places to eat in Dover. And now we've gotten one more! Yesterday afternoon we've made our first visit in recently opened Diverge, and it was a really good one. - walking distance for us - nicely setup inside - reasonably priced - friendly and prompt service - good variety of creative dishes The food was simply great. We've got Lobster Rangoons for starters - they are right on! Salmon is definitely very good, but Risotto/Ribs was just fabulous! The whole garnishes choice and presentation are done impeccably. Impressive beyond our expectations. One rating star was lost because of terrible coffee and unremarkable cheesecake. Beware. read more

Thanks for the reply Shannon. I have eaten there once before and enjoyed what I had. This particular time was just not as good for me. I try to be understanding of help issues, but was being honest about the long wait. Guanciale or pancetta - I simply didn't care for the large hunks in the risotto, it was overwhelming. I rarely send food back to the kitchen, if I don't like it, I don't eat it. It may be fine to someone else's taste, just not mine. That said, we will likely be back to eat again. read more

Ambience was lovely. We had the crispy Brussels, NY strip and the Salmon. Food was amazing! With a great margarita! Excellent service. Highly recommend! read more

EXCELLENT Shannon, the owner was our bartender it was just her and the chef on this day at 4 PM We Yelped it & it said they opened at 4pm We tried the door but it was locked so we called. Shannon answered and she let us in We sat at the bar with her She was awesome & helpful The food was incredible I got the whipped ricotta w/lobster and sweet corn flat bread and a seasonal salad Everything was top notch I will return especially for that flatbread read more

Diverge never disappoints. As you can see by the pictures, food just seemed to disappeared it was so delicious. You really need to give it a try. Yum. If you walk inside Diverge, wait staff was observed using hand sanitizer constantly. All tables and chairs were more than 6 feet apart, cleaned and sanitized before use. All waitstaff wear masks constantly. There is an air purifier system (https://medifyair.com) in the dining room that purifies the air every 1/2 hour for their square footage. This makes us feel very comfortable eating inside at Diverge. read more

OVERALL ASSESSMENT Yes. Yes, yes, yes. OUR PURCHASE Tito's & soda x2, $8 each PEI Mussels $12 Calamari $12 Manhattan x2, $11 each = $62 pretax THE DETAILS We love trying new places, and Diverge. in downtown Dover doesn't disappoint. We were greated instantly when we entered. Ten minute wait, but we were lucky to grab 2 bar seats without a wait. Good vibe. Good lighting. Easily digestible music playlist. Quick service at the bar. Got to chat up an owner, Shannon, who was bartending. Considering they opened this week, she was remarkably calm, stable, and pleasant. Based on our location at the bar (the end), we also got to enjoy server Curtis and his awesome work ethic. We intended to stay for a drink and an app. Ordered Tito's & soda. Tried the PEI Mussels which were fantastic. (Side note, the accompanying bread was glorious.) Mussels were so good, in fact, that we stayed and ordered Manhattans and calamari. We're calamari fans but have never had an order quite like this: the lemon aioli was sweet and was a perfect accompaniment to the pepper relish. WOULD RECOMMEND? Yes. And yes, yes, yes. read more

Our family moved to Dover in the spring and we've tried a few restaurants within walking distance of our home. This is by far the best experience we have had out in an awfully long time. Our waitress was extremely kind and attentive. The food was worth every penny. My wife got the risotto and I got the NY strip and our 4 year old daughter got the kids Mac and cheese. Everything was done perfectly. Our daughter asked to see the chef and our awesome waitress brought her down to meet him! Great place highly recommend!! read more

COME HERE NOW. Instant serotonin boost. The food is so damn good! So flavorful, we got the chicken tenders and French dip. Incredibly balanced flavor profiles. The service was on point, just wish more people were in here with us to enjoy but we came early before 5 even. We couldn't be happier! Thanks diverge! read more

Food was absolutely excellent. Gourmet bistro style. The owner/bartender was attentive and professional. Good addition to Dovers upcoming restaurant base. Restaurant was clean and bright. We started with the brussels which were not too crispy as some are and had a nice balsamic flavor! For dinner we chose the halibut which had a nice crust on top with tender flaky flesh and the pasta with chicken was creamy and flavorful. Wished we had a dessert choice because we loved the food! Try it! read more

Very good, great service, a little pricier than I was anticipating. Ordered the crab cakes appetizer- among the best I have had! Very very light and flavorful, not crumb-heavy at all. The risotto dish was tasty, with braised short ribs, mushrooms, a few pieces of asparagus, cipollini, and a few shaves of pecorino. The portion was a bit small for the price ($21), and I suspect the risotto was not short grain arborio, as the consistency was not quite up to par for a true risotto dish, but it was good nonetheless. The mac and cheese was delicious (also $21 with added short rib) and the portion was larger than the risotto. Would definitely try again; I am intrigued by the burger and the scallop dish. When faced with the choice of Blue Latitudes next door, I would choose Diverge. read more
