    What a terrific spot! It was our first time dining here but it most definitely will not be our last! The vibe is cool/hip but totally welcoming—good tunes playing and comfy banquette seating. And the food was outstanding: chewy sourdough with a spicy tapenade, fried brussel sprouts, roasted winter squash with pepper jelly, fried boar ribs with a Calabrian chile kick, seared octopus—every bite was a winner. And then: the Basque cheesecake. Zowie.

    The most amazing manicotti I’ve ever had. It’s hard to walk that line of ‘there’s a lot going on here’ and ‘there’s too much going on here’; and every dish nailed it at Don’s. Every course was perfectly timed, the service was amazing. It was pretty cold inside the restaurant so I would highly recommend wearing a sweater, but the wine selections are so good they’ll warm you right up! We can’t wait to come back at the next special occasion! 🎉
