I really enjoyed our experience at Donovan's. Everyone from the doorman/valet to our waiters/servers (Tina, Tony and Brett) pay special attention to detail and made our Anniversary dinner a special memory.
Although we ordered entirely too much food, my only complaint is that I couldn't finish it all!
SERVICE is top notch without being N.PHX/Scottsdale snotty. Bartender knows how to make a Manhattan and an Old Fashion (huge pluses in my book).
FOOD is excellent. Caesar Salad: Yum! Shrimp were huge and cooked to perfection (not sure why this is lost on many other restaurants). Do yourself a favor and save room for their creme brûlée. I was so bummed that I had eaten so much, I could honestly only get thru half of it...trust me, I tried to finish! I'm *still* stuffed (the morning after). I want to go back and have something small like a salad just so I can dive into that dessert again! Husband had the cheesecake and cleared his plate. Espresso: excellent, served traditionally - also a huge plus for us.
I hope all the people who took advantage of the Groupon type deal (last week), allow themselves to come back and enjoy Donovan's when it's not such a mad-house. Slow down, take a load off and let this place do what they do.
Great for special occasions.
We'll be back.
Thanks, Donovan's!
