Restaurant in Huntington Beach, United States
Coastal California Mediterranean Table
Dvine Mediterranean Experience on Beach Blvd brings a food-focused Mediterranean format to a Huntington Beach dining scene that does not have many equivalents. Verified details on pricing and hours are limited, so call ahead before booking. For food enthusiasts who want a more intentional dining experience away from the Strand's tourist corridor, it is worth the effort to confirm and reserve.
If you are looking for a Mediterranean-focused dining experience on Beach Blvd in Huntington Beach, Dvine Mediterranean Experience is the address. The short answer on whether to book: yes, with the caveat that verified details on pricing, hours, and the full menu are limited in public records right now, so call ahead or check current listings before committing to a reservation. What is clear is that the restaurant occupies a specific niche in a city where genuinely food-forward options are thinner on the ground than you might expect for a coastal Southern California destination.
Mediterranean dining rooms tend to work leading when the layout reinforces a sense of occasion without tipping into formal stiffness. At 21006 Beach Blvd, Dvine sits away from the waterfront tourist corridor, which typically means a calmer room and a crowd that has made a deliberate choice to be there rather than wandering in off the Strand. For food and travel enthusiasts who care about the structure of a meal rather than just the dishes themselves, that environment matters. A quieter, more considered room is what makes a progression of courses feel intentional rather than rushed. If the restaurant operates a tasting menu or a set progression of courses, that format rewards diners who want to follow a narrative arc through a meal rather than assemble it themselves from a long à la carte list. Mediterranean cuisine, with its layered use of olive oil, citrus, herbs, and preserved ingredients, lends itself well to that kind of sequenced eating.
Mediterranean cooking as a category covers a wide range, from the refined tasting menus you would find at venues like Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler in Brunico to the produce-driven, technique-heavy approaches at places like Single Thread Farm in Healdsburg. Dvine is operating in the Southern California market, not at that rarefied level, but the reference points matter for understanding what the format can offer when executed well. The emphasis on the Mediterranean pantry, shared plates or coursed menus built around fresh and cured ingredients, gives the kitchen flexibility to deliver a satisfying progression even at a mid-range price point. For food enthusiasts visiting Huntington Beach, this is likely the most food-focused option on Beach Blvd specifically.
Because verified data on hours, phone, and booking platform is not currently in our records, the safest approach is to search for Dvine Mediterranean Experience directly on Google Maps or OpenTable to confirm current hours and availability before making plans. Reservations: Book through whatever current platform the restaurant lists, or call direct to confirm. Booking window: Given the restaurant's relatively contained profile in Huntington Beach, same-week reservations are likely achievable for most nights, with weekend evenings potentially filling faster. Dress: Mediterranean dining at this style of venue in Southern California typically runs smart-casual; no need to overdress, but this is not a flip-flops dinner. Budget: Price per head is unconfirmed in our data; check current menus online before going. Groups: Contact the venue directly to confirm group capacity and whether private dining arrangements are available. Dietary restrictions: Mediterranean cuisine is naturally accommodating of many dietary preferences, with strong options typically available for vegetarians and pescatarians, but confirm specifics directly with the restaurant.

If you are planning a full trip, our Huntington Beach hotels guide, bars guide, and experiences guide cover the rest of the city. Other restaurants worth considering in the area include BLK Earth Sea Spirits, Bluegold, Brightwaters, Capone's Italian Cucina, and Charcol Indian Kitchen.
Smart-casual is the right call. Huntington Beach dining rarely requires formal dress, but a Mediterranean experience-focused restaurant on Beach Blvd is not a casual beachwear venue. Think neat casual to smart-casual: clean jeans or chinos, a shirt or blouse. You will be comfortable and appropriately dressed without overthinking it.
Specific menu details are not confirmed in our current data, so we cannot call out individual dishes. What we can say is that Mediterranean kitchens of this style typically do well with mezze-style starters, seafood preparations, and dishes built around olive oil, citrus, and fresh herbs. If a tasting menu or chef's selection is available, that format tends to show the kitchen at its leading. Ask the server what is current when you arrive.
It is a reasonable choice for a special occasion dinner in Huntington Beach, particularly if you want something more food-forward than the typical coastal tourist spots. For a genuinely landmark special-occasion meal, venues like The French Laundry in Napa or Le Bernardin in New York City are in a different category entirely, but for a local Huntington Beach occasion dinner, Dvine fills a gap the area does not have many alternatives for.
Mediterranean cuisine generally works well for solo diners, particularly at the bar or counter if available, where you can engage with the meal at your own pace. Without confirmed seating details, call ahead to ask whether counter or bar seating is an option. Solo diners who want a more clearly solo-friendly format in Huntington Beach might also consider Bluegold, which has a bar counter setup.
For waterfront atmosphere, Bluegold and Brightwaters both offer ocean-adjacent dining with strong food programs. For a different cuisine direction, BLK Earth Sea Spirits is worth considering for a more spirit-forward evening. If you want Italian rather than broader Mediterranean, Capone's Italian Cucina is the local reference point. See our full Huntington Beach restaurants guide for a complete picture.
Mediterranean cuisine as a category tends to accommodate vegetarians and pescatarians well, with an emphasis on vegetables, legumes, seafood, and olive oil-based preparations. For specific allergen or dietary needs, contact the restaurant directly before booking. Phone and website details are not currently confirmed in our records, so search for the venue on Google Maps to find current contact information.
Group capacity details are not confirmed in our data. For parties of six or more, always call ahead to check table availability and whether the restaurant can hold a reservation for a larger group. Huntington Beach dining rooms at this profile are not typically large-format event spaces, so private dining or semi-private options may be limited. Confirming directly is the only reliable route here.
Based on the restaurant's current profile in Huntington Beach, same-week bookings are likely achievable for most nights. Friday and Saturday evenings are the exception: book at least a week out to avoid disappointment. This is not a venue with a months-long waitlist like Atomix in New York City or Lazy Bear in San Francisco, but a little planning still pays off on peak weekend nights.
