It was a very quiet night in the restaurant but the ambiance was still warm and welcoming. Exemplary service and lovely food. We had a great family get together and wholeheartedly recommend the restaurant for a special night out.

A lovely lunch with my Father although a bit quiet but the City is very different these days. The turbot was amazing! The cheese I thought could have been a bit more international and the restaurant had run out of armagnav but they offered.an alternative and didn't charge for it. None of the above would stop me going again. The Don is a City institution and the food and service is always impeccable.

Another first class meal at The Don. It was nicely full for a Tuesday night and the menu was such that we could have chosen anything. What we did eat was all absolutely delicious. I had the crab followed by the red mullet. 10/10. The service was excellent as well. Just watch the step :) Highly recommend this restaurant.

First time back at the Don for many years and will certainly be back. Excellent lunch set menu for two with delicious glass of Mountainous Malagouzia 10³. Food was top notch and service faultless and very friendly. Will certainly be back!

A la carte was quite expensive, but menu of the day contained good selection and is a bargain.
