El Divino Dining & Cocktails - American restaurant in McAllen - 5001 N 10th St, USA

Really fun place for some upscale food. Everything was super tasty, the atmosphere was pleasant and the service was great. No complaints. The brussel sprouts, tuna Tartare, and the filet were all noteworthy! Highly recommended. Plenty of parking and not too busy on a Saturday evening.

Great food and service. Love the low lighting. Great spot for date night and special occasions. Speakeasy vibes.

Had a reservation here this Friday and check-in was a breeze, we were seated right away even though the place was almost full. Service was top notch, lots of waitstaff was available and our own server was very attentive to our needs. My meat was cooked exactly as ordered and the drinks were top-notch. I wish there hadn't been as many items on the menu "unavailable," but under the current circumstances, it's too be expected. Still, this was an excellent dining experience and we can't wait to go back. 👍

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.

Great experience. Server was so smart and funny. I hope I get her name right, Cory, thank you for a great time. We will be back. My Cornish hen dinner was delicious. My husband enjoyed the fried chicken with a twist. Our friends had a lot of wine and tequila. They enjoyed the red snapper dish and can't remember what else they ordered. We also had two desserts a delicious ice cream cookie dessert and a papaya, cherry infused sauce on , I think, cake 🎂. Not sure, but they were unique and scrumptious 😋

I remember why it’s been a while since I’ve eaten here. The service is atrociously slow. We had 3 people “taking care” of us but still had 10-15 minute periods with no attention. Very frustrating especially when you’re ordering top shelf drinks the whole night and dropping a pretty penny on dinner. The food is great, but the lack of attention is uncompromisingly bad.

Go through the reviews and you will see some that like this place, others that don't. My experience as well, went there with 5 friends earlier in the week and had a decent experience - spent around $800 for the 6 of us for appetizers, dinner, and drinks. That experience was around 6-7 pm. The last experience, there were just two of us and got in at 10:50pm, after a show, and watched the couple in front of us get seated and ordered food. We sat at the bar, waited for 15 minutes to be asked our order, and then told the kitchen had closed. We ordered our drinks, waited another 15 minutes to get them. Upon finishing our drinks, no one ever checked in with us to see how they were, if they could get anything else for us, I gave up and left cash and walked out. From what I observed, the staff was either busy helping those guests that had ordered food (perhaps focusing on "their" percentage of the total bill), yes food was still being served when we were told the kitchen had closed, or busy talking amongst themselves. Nice atmosphere, but will I be back? NEVER! There are other locally owned restaurants that are very interested in keeping all of their customers by providing great and consistent service to all (whether you have a large tab, or not).

Perfect place for date-night! It's charming, romantic and not too loud.
