DeVine Bistro

Very nice! Attentive service and good food. We will go back. The Heirloom tomato salad was wonderful.

What a great dinner with a new friend in Wellington. If you get seated by 6 pm and order by 6:30, you can have the De-​light menu. Soup or salad, smaller size entrée, and smaller size dessert for $ 18. Ambiance is nice but you don’t have to dress up. But if you want to dress up a little, you also will not feel out of place. Service is also good.
Had the 1) beef barley vegetable soup-​very hearty, 2) short ribs on mushroom risotto-​plenty of meat and a generous helping of delicious mushroom risotto. You could see and taste all the mushrooms. 3) carrot cake for dessert-​really tasty and glad it was just a small piece.
I recommend this place if you are ever in Wellington.

Crab cake with mango was spectacular. Short ribs and risotto delicious, but could be perfect with more temperature. Everything else is real good, good ambient, excellent service.

I love this place! Perfect for a date night with my hubby or a girl’s night out!
The French onion soup is the bomb.

This is an excellent neighborhood, non-​chain restaurant in Wellington. Have been there for twice for dinner and both times excellent. They won the coveted «2^nd Visit» prize! Many places leave great impression first time but at the 2^nd visit you see their inconsistencies when they can’t repeat the good quality. The food and service here are excellent and prices are very fair for a fine dining establishment. Have the coconut cream pie. A must! Will go back again and again and cheers to the chefs!

Food very good. Service slow and indifferent. Big disconnect between front and back of house.

Perhaps it would be better if you don’t sit at the bar. I dine alone, first thing bartender says is if it gets crowded you will have to move left or right. Ok, I get it. I’ve been in the service industry for ever! :) Order my wine and water, she gives menus. Gets busy cutting lemons, I have to stare her down to order. Order. I ordered an entrée. I have to ask for bread. No problem, she’s busy making drinks, waiting on the 7 other people at the bar. I get it. My entrée comes, no ‘can I get you anything to go with that?’ She’s busy. I’m out of wine and water. She’s done making drinks, cashes other bar patrons out, goes back to making drinks. Finally across the bar I have to stare her down and point at my drinks. I say, ‘you need some help ‘. Her answer ‘no, I’m making drinks for other people.’ Hmm. Never asked if my meal was good or I enjoyed it. Food was a resounding OK. I should take a picture of the wine trail from my glass down the bar, but I don’t want to be too obvious! Don’t think she could get rid of me quick enough. Meanwhile 5 of us at the bar. Too bad, being in the service industry I always leave good tips. Not today!

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.

We had a 7:00 reservation and were promptly seated and greeted. Our server was Alexa, a delightful woman and a very good server. Drinks were ordered and promptly arrived. The bread was flat and tasteless but the meals were very good. We enjoyed the meatloaf, short ribs, pistachio encrusted salmon, and pork chops with marsala mushroom sauce. Food was very good and we will return — but ONLY if Alexa will take care of us. Coffee was fresh, hot, and tasty — we didn’t try a dessert.

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

Divine Bistro is a small and locally admired bistro in an outparcel plaza of the Wellington Green Mall. It is a place to go for a nice dinner without spending a fortune and having to get too dressed up. The food is always good save for some take-​out experiences I have had. The Heirloom Tomato Salad is out of this world. Chef David Palmateer created a sweet yellow champagne-​style dressing that gets soaked by four pieces of cakey bread topped with the fresh tomatoes. Delicious. The short ribs are a standard. The crusted fish stands out. It’s all good. Service could be more attentive but is generally good. Wine list is more than adequate and you can bring your own bottle and pay corkage.

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!

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.

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.

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.

We love this place! We come and sit at the bar and usually try something new every time. The food is very good, and the owners are fantastic! Large pours of wine too which is always well appreciated!

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.

So my wife was raving about this place for such a long time and decided, why not! Lets give it a try after attending the gym — one of the reasons i’m giving it a 3 star review is because the service was good and I actually liked the place because it was not to loud and seemed cozy. I ordered the seared tuna with stir fried veggies… with a salad.
The salad was good however the seared tuna was not that good. The presentation looked good however I have had better seared tuna at other establishments and for much less than what i paid. But the kicker is that my wife, the person that recommended it and was raving about the salad and how good it was… well, she got def. got jipped on her salad. She ordered the Farmer’s Daughter salad which includes beefsteak tomatoes, dried cranberries, candied walnuts, sunflower seeds, cucumbers, mixed greens, hearts of romaine, gorgonzola, balsamic dressing. But when we look at it — it had little of the other stuff and most of it was just mixed greens with romaine lettuce… and to top it off some of mixed greens were discolored.
So, will we be going back… i think not. even though the service was good — cant give it the high ratings that everyone else has given them.

Great Value!!! Quite a few out of the ordinary selections. Lovely upscale atmosphere.
Booths are very tight and uncomfortable, sit somewhere else.
Overall, a great evening and we’ll go back.

So my Buddy has been telling me about this place for a couple years now. Its a bit of a drive for me but the planets are aligned correctly and and my schedule is open so here I am.
Wow, you mean I could have been coming here for two years now? We sat at the counter, which I would encourage everyone to do, and were treated to some of the finest service, food and drink that South Florida has to offer.
My evening started off with the $ 6 bottomless wine glass, which I was unable to empty until I tapped out. Not just a run of the mill house wine but a merlot that I would choose to drink every day. They also had several other reds and white wines to choose from that were just as good. It only got better from here. Next we ordered the Heirloom Tomato Salad and Ahi Taco appetizers both which beautifully plated and good portions. I wish I could describe the flavors, but lets just say nothing like you have tried before. Both amazing and it keeps getting better. For the main courses we ordered the Beef Stroganoff, Short ribs with mushroom bacon risotto, Double french dip and the Butternut squash raviolli and siracha shrimp.
I could go into detail about each of these dishes but I wont. Instead I will just point out the highlights. Beef Stroganoff is made with filet mignon, melt in your mouth. Short ribs over risotto, boneless short rib piled over the most amazing «mushroom bacon risotto». I will dream about this plate for some time. Double french dip, caramelized onions, brie, gruyère, grilled baguette with a side of au jus. Yes it’s as good as it sounds and the Butternut squash raviolli and siracha shrimp, the sweetness of the butternut and spiciness of the shrimp, a match made in heaven.
Took enough home for a second meal. No room for dessert but definitely looking forward to trying them. Maybe next time and there will be a next time. Hopefully it wont take so long for the planets to align again. Until then, Cheers.
Almost forgot, Chef David came over and chatted with us for a good bit. Not only a great Chef but a wonderful person. No secrets about his cooking, very open about the ingredients, spices and preparation. This was just the icing on the top for a foodie. Again, Cheers
