Donovan's sets the standard of steakhouse excellence. An appealing atmosphere of rich mahogany, eye-catching paintings and bronze sculptures artfully bathed in soft flattering light. Upscale and worldclass yet cordially friendly. Attentive unobtrusive service that accentuates every exacting detail. This is truly the place to be, relax and enjoy dining perfection. Flavorful and tender USDA Prime Beef is the star attraction, but for those non-steak moments, pork and veal chops along with succulent seafood will satisfy the most discriminate of palates. And at Donovan's, fresh seasonal vegetables and your choice of potato is always included with each entrée.

ALWAYS FANTASTIC
dependable steakhouse to always have amazing service, amazing food, and the perfect atmosphere
Very good in every way. Ruth Chris steaks do taste a tiny bit better (all that butter) but the atmosphere is better at Donovans!
this is the best ever...from service to the steaks it is my favorite, I love this place. I wish I could eat there every night.
For every VSO (very special occasion) we choose Donovan's. Don't believe that we have ever had a finer steak anywhere! The atmosphere is elegant, the service impeccable, and the meal a delight!
Fine dining at its best, but not uptight.
You can relax and enjoy your meal as it melts in your mouth.
The best steaks ever.
The food is delicious, the meat tender, the service impeccable, and the ambiance perfect.
I spent my 50th birthday there with my sweetie. The food was so wonderful and the wait staff were fabulous. Every person from the hostess to the busboys were gracious and pleasant.
the steaks have to be some of the best cuts of meat ever,and are prepared to the highest standards.
great atmosphere, side dishes are excellent, and the meat selection is all-inclusive.
The night before my husband had to leave on deployment we came to your restaurant. You went out of your way to making that night very special for us! Outstanding food, and service. Thank you!! :)
They are simply the best. They pride themselves in their excellent service and outstanding food. It truly shows.
The finest food and service, its ads do not tell half the story of its excellence!
The service was the best. Captain Jyan took care of our every need. I am definitely a repeat guest because of him.
