My boyfriend and I used the 20% off coupon from Judy's Boook at DiVino the other night.
While DiVino was out of a couple things-- a type of wine and watercress-- the things we could order were very good. We enjoyed the wine we ordered, and the nicely shaped glasses they were served in. --The glasses easily allow the drinker to create a "vortex" in their wine by spinning it, without spilling the wine out.
To start, we ordered a cheese plate with three interesting and tasty cheeses on it, a bowl of bread, and olive oil with balsamic for dipping. I ordered the arugala salad, which came nicely dressed with shaved cheese. The figs that were supposed to be on the salad were missing---apparently, out of season, but no discount was given on the salad. My boyfriend ordered the watercress salad, and was given the arugala instead. He sent it back and got the bread salad instead---be warned, there's a lot of toasted bread in it, so if you're looking for something "fresh" this salad isn't it. Despite that, he enjoyed the salad.
We ordered a riesling and cannoli for dessert---both of which were very good. The cannoli was crisp with a smooth, barely sweet filling. Our total, after the 20% discount was $48. A little more than we were hoping to spend for such a light meal, but we *did* have a good time. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, and seemed to be compensating for the management and kitchen's lack of planning (missing food and drink items).
We'd go back again for a nice but casual night, but probably not for a night where we're trying to impress clients.
