I found this place while searching for a restaurant for our 35th wedding anniversary. We were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed a terrific meal in every aspect. The creme brulee was to die for. The portions were ample and we had food to take home. I hope we will go back many times in the future.

We split the porterhouse steak. It was the perfect size for two. Food was great and the staff was very attentive.

This was my second visit to Donovan’s and it didn’t disappoint! The pork chop porterhouse was amazing. I paired it the wedge which we split and was delicious; and with the mashed potatoes and a tempura lobster tail. Add in a smoked old fashioned and the fact that it was a happy hour priced item and you need to look no further for the best Saturday lunch destination.

Saw Donovan’s on Nextdoor and tried it. Service was great and the food was delicious. We had salmon and lamb chops for entrees. Highly recommend for a special meal. Pricey, but a nice treat.

This place never disappoints. We've been here 10-12 times over the years and it's our go-to "let's do steak tonight" place! Great date night place for the wife and I. Steaks done right! Our server Heather nailed everything. From additional info on the sides and dishes to nice convo about her recent dietary changes. Dont miss trying the Meatery

Truly an amazing surprise! I have lived within 2 miles of Donovan's for almost 5 years, always thought it was a butcher shop for fresh meats.... Thursday l wanted a good steak without having to drive an hour to Charley's. Donovan's came up on a search and figured I'd give it a try. WOW, it did not disappoint!!! I chose to sit at the bar....in the most comfortable bar stool ever! Bartenders Stephen (new guy, first night) and Jess were both great. Jess explained the steak cuts perfectly and very honestly and I went with the 22oz Cowboy Cut Bone in Ribeye along with garlic mashed and the bacon sauteed green beans. The steak was simply incredible and made me a new regular customer! The garlic mashed were Perfecto. The green beans, weren't bad, but they just didn't work for me. For starters I had the (HUGE) Knock Knock Shrimp app which was amazing! To finish, I went with the Peanut Butter Pie.....again, PERFECT!!! Donovan's is Vet owned which was also a draw for me (Retired Air Force) and they offer a great Military discount....Thank You!!! This place is the BEST!!!! I'll be back again and again! Danny

Everything was great except one thing mashed potatoes were pretty dry. We came into dinner around 6:30 so I wish they would’ve recirculated the mashed potatoes. Everything else was fantastic. Best crème brûlée Florida.
