Divine Brasserie & Jazz Club

I am not sure why I have never come in here before. I walk by it every day. My husband and I had dinner here tonight and it was a great experience. Good service. The food is within reason price wise compared to similar restaurants. But the food was definitely above average. I had an excellent mushroom tagliatelle in crème in a light pesto cream sauce. Really tasty. We had beef carpaccio to start and my husband ordered a steak, it was in a red wine sauce, kind of sweet due to pearl onions and raisins in the sauce. They start you with a little olive oil, some nice green olives and a grainy raisin bread. The interior is very nice, cool lighting and a long beautiful wooden table highlight the room. It’s small but very chic and warm. To our surprise there is a small «club» in the basement which on the weekends hosts jazz musicians. On this night they had a magician! It was interesting and much to my surprise the little club was completely full. I will also add that the owner came to our table to ask if we enjoyed our meal. He was very charming and nice. In fact I would sum up the entire experience as a charming one. Will definitely be back. It’s a few blocks from Tesvikiye but honestly it’s worth the extra walk. And a really decent group of people. There is also out door seating which is standout.
