Diva Eatery - Hastings

Great service, manager and bar manager have a great appreciation of their craft, modesty and hospitality. The staff go out of their way to ensure you enjoy the experience and it is great value for money!

First time visit to Diva, I was very impressed with the friendly and efficient service, the ambiance and the food. Lovely fresh ingredients, beautifully presented, thoughtfully combined and adequate quantity at a reasonable price. We will definitely be back .          22/08/2014 Dined again at Diva, and I have no reason to change my opinion. I opted for the fish, which was bluenose on polenta with a salsa which incorporated brussel sprouts, an interesting addition I would never have thought of. My husband ordered seared scotch fillet which was perfectly cooked, and will be my dining choice next visit. The cabbage, peas and bacon side which our waitperson recommended was delicious. The wine list featured local wines and my Askerne Pinot Gris was just right.

We sat outside in front of the bar rather than in the dining room and ordered from the bar menu. A nice variety of averagely priced tapas. We enjoyed all the ones we had, the blue cheese wontons were especially nice. Cheerful atmosphere with attentive prompt service. The only detraction was a loud foul mouthed man at the next table who unfortunately appeared to be a regular so may make me think twice about having to go and listen to his rantings next time.

Very very good service!!! The menu has a wide range from salads to pizza. Not your average pizza however, it is a thin crust with the topping evenly dispursed!!!EXCELLENTGood amount of food for your money. Go early if you have a younger family as it does get a little busy with the bar in the evenings.I am looking forward to another lunch at DIVAS!!!!

To be honest we went to Diva because we thought Kent Baddeley was still there and we had fallen in love with his exciting, inventive cooking back when he was at Clearview. However, we found he has moved and that does show a little in the menu which we would call more 'safe '.<br/ <br/ That said, we had a lovely dinner. The snapper was 10/10 and the confit duck was great. However, too many restaurants are nowadays putting only one confit duck on the plate, instead of two. Diva is one of those, so that makes it less value for money when you are out for dinner. <br/ <br/ The wine list was great and the warm cosy atmosphere very welcoming. We suggest going early, as the place gets noisy later on when the bar heats up.
