Reviews
We arrived at 1:30 pm and ordered from their Valentine’s Day special menu, which was available until 3 pm. Even though it was quite busy, the atmosphere felt warm and interesting rather than overwhelming.
The beer was great, and I really liked the homey, charming tableware — small details that made the place feel cozy and thoughtful. At 1:48 pm we were served a raw fish dish as an appetizer, which was very interesting and fresh.
The steak was excellent, and the potatoes that came with it were honestly perfect. The salad was also top-tier. Dessert was just as good and finished the meal beautifully.
Overall, the restaurant was busy but in a vibrant, energetic way. We left very satisfied and would definitely come back.
The food is outstanding: genuine, healthy, perfectly cooked, and always original — never predictable, always memorable. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, with great respect for ingredients and balance.
The atmosphere is just as impressive. The space is clean and stylish, warm and carefully designed, with music that perfectly complements the experience and makes you feel immediately at ease.
Service is truly top-level. Hanna and the entire team are professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming — the kind of hospitality that makes you feel valued, not rushed.
What more could you ask for?
Simply go to Donna’s, sit back, and enjoy an exceptional experience.
Thank you Donna’s, we will be back
To start, the service was warm and the staff were friendly—definitely a highlight ↕️ And to preface: the Morel Lasagna, which was our shared main, did taste delicious! We also ordered the oysters and ham croquettes, which were just okay. We didn’t get a chance to snap photos of the lasagna or croquettes since we dove right in after the oysters.
That said, the portion sizes felt a bit underwhelming for the price. The oysters ($3.50 each) came out first—small, and hard to justify cost-wise. They were served simply with lemon and hot sauce, resting on a bed of salt. For the price, we expected a bit more flair or thoughtful presentation. The croquettes ($12) followed: just two pieces, about the size of mozzarella sticks. The lasagna ($29) was served in a ceramic ramekin roughly 6.5–8” long. Splitting it between the two of us gave us just a few bites each. Even if I came back to order one just for myself, it still doesn’t feel worth nearly $30
We wanted to love Donna’s—especially after all the glowing reviews—but for the price and portions, it just wasn’t quite the experience we were hoping for.
This spot is so vibey with such flavorful dishes – I was pleasantly surprised at how yummy each single dish was! The oysters are so fresh, along with the pea salad . My fave was the mushroom lasagna. The red snapper was delicious, but on the saltier side. We got their strawberry trifle for dessert and it was so yummy until we hit the wine jelly at the bottom (just too strong for me haha).
The drinks were well-rounded and tasty too!
It’s patio season now so we sat outside to enjoy the weather. The atmosphere was so lively and comforting! ☀️
I would definitely come again to try their other dishes (and new ones as the menu changes)!
