   I have to give credit where it’s due, Donny G’s truly turned my experience around! After a previous visit that left me unsure, they went above and beyond to make things right, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with genuine hospitality, and it was clear they cared about making my experience exceptional. The service was outstanding, our waitress was not only attentive but also warm and friendly, making sure everything was perfect. And the food? Absolutely out of this world! Every bite was flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. It’s rare to see a restaurant take feedback seriously and go the extra mile to improve, but Donny G’s did just that. This was a complete 360 from my last visit, and I’m happy to say they’ve completely won me over. If you’re looking for amazing food and top-notch service, give Donny G’s a try, you won’t be disappointed! PS. Huge shoutout to the Manager Marco for making things right!

   Manager George and servers Victor and Hector are amazing. Food is good but prices are too high. I had a cocktail that was listed on receipt as an extra dirty martini. Believe me that is very misleading and the upcharge was not reasonable.

   Another wonderful evening at Donny G's. The food was outstanding, and the service was great. It is rapidly becoming one of our favorite restaurants.

   Excellent choice for a Saturday night dinner with live music. Side pasta is a great value, excellent veil. Looking forward to the next time.

   I recently dined at this restaurant, and overall, the experience was just okay. I had high hopes for this place, especially since I made a reservation in advance. Unfortunately, my experience started on the wrong foot. Despite arriving on time, I was left waiting for an additional 20 minutes with no clear explanation or apology. It was frustrating, especially since I had planned ahead to avoid a wait. The service was decent, but my main issue was with the steak I ordered. It was cooked incorrectly the first time, so I had to send it back. When it was returned, it was obvious that it had been microwaved rather than freshly remade, which really took away from the quality of the dish. Unfortunately, this made it difficult to enjoy my meal. While the rest of the food was acceptable, the mishandling of the steak left me disappointed. I expected better attention to detail, especially for the price. I will NOT be coming back!

   We go here often and decided to go for Valentine’s with our kids. Made a reservation. When we arrived, there was clearly an issue as there was a huge crowd of people. Something had happened with reservations and it appeared they were way overbooked. Although it did take some time to get us seated, the restaurant and staff were so wonderful it made all our frustrations disappear. We had a really fun evening and enjoyed the whole meal. We really appreciate them going above and beyond to make the night special. Our server was absolutely wonderful.

   Neighborhood gem with amazing food, generous portions, friendly staff. Music on other side (certain nights) is great!
