| - I've only been to Don's twice in the past two years, each time during Cleveland Independents Restaurant Week. You pick 3 courses for $33 - starter, main and dessert. Of all the restaurants on the list, Don's has the best bang for the buck.
As my mom used to waitress here before I was born, I know this place has been around for awhile. So don't expect modern or trendy. Expect more like historic and dim, yet cozy.
Every year, one of my girl friends and I go for her birthday dinner. We get a bottle of wine, take our time, and catch up. Our waiter last year was fabulous. This year, our waitress was a little odd at times, but ended up being very nice and accommodating.
This last time, I chose a salad, the steak oscar (strip steak topped with crab and bearnaise sauce) and the chocolate mousse. The salad was fine, the steak was amazing (albeit a little bit under cooked, but I prefer that), the side of mashed potatoes and asparagus were tasty, and the mousse was a perfect cap to the meal. My friend and I both enjoyed ourselves and were surprised that 2 hours had passed by the time we left.
Overall - a great place for a special occasion to just relax, take your time and enjoy a good meal.
One last tip: you can make reservations through Open Table, but Don's does not award any points like other restaurants.
