    We also experienced the worst dinner here. The steak was good, but the manager's words were the worst. My daughter started coughing in the restaurant, probably because of its air; my daughter is allergic to dusts. The manager said 'you have disturbed other guests' and when I told him that we would leave soon, he seemed satisfied. I have never got such a heartless attitude anywhere in the world. I feel very sorry for cooks who make very good steaks, but we would never go there again. I really recommend the investors to change the manager.

    I have to dispute the previous review. The service I have had at Donovan's has been great and even one time our reservations were messed up and they sent a limo to pick us up at thier expense and STILL honored the time of our original reservation (I called two days prior to confirm the reservation and thats when they found the glitch). Wonderful people and wonderful food.

    I must say, this restaurant is really overrated ! The service is weak, the steaks rather bland, and the attitude of the staff is substandard. I always find Island Prime, Mortons and even Ruths Chris Del Mar far superior. If you are thinking about going there, all I can say is don't bother. BUT, I do think they have done a great job of marketing the place to out of towners...
