Great place. Wonderful service and fantastic food. Wish more people knew what a great restaurant this is.

Love the atmosphere in this restaurant! Especially the large windows allowing for lots of natural light. It's open and very airy! My friend's meal was huge and very tasty (Croque Madam breakfast sandwich) and worth every penny. My eggs benedict was very small and unfulfilling. For the amount of food I got with the eggs benedict, it was WAY overpriced. It was about 1/3 of the size of my friend's breakfast sandwich and I was still hungry afterwards. We didn't have salt and pepper at our table and the waitress was busy talking to another staff member while we ate, so I never got an opportunity to ask for it. While the food came fairly fast, the server was fairly inattentive. I'd go again, but next time get the Croque Madam and ask for salt, pepper and ketchup before the meal arrives.

Came here for dinner and it didn't disappoint. Share plates style food. My favourite has to be the beef tartare, paired with the berries and the chips it was especially unique.

Clean and vibrant atmosphere. I tried the Mac Burger and it was good. The fried were a tad salty but the herb seasoning gave it a nice twist.

I stopped in for a post-workout dinner on Saturday night. Although there were empty tables, we were seated at the bar, which was fine. Our server/bartender, Carter, was attentive, and the staff was generally friendly.
The Caesar salad starter was decent, but the spirit list was limited, with basic options at steep prices—$46 for two ounces of Macallan 12-year is excessive. The burger was served on a saucer rather than a proper plate, and the side salad arrived separately, which was inconvenient.
The biggest disappointment was the temperature and quality of the food. The steak and broccolini were both served cold, with the latter being burnt (not charred). Although the kitchen reheated the dish, the steak ended up overcooked, which was unacceptable for a $58 entrée, especially as I opted out of the potatoes.
It’s also frustrating to be charged for basic condiments like hot sauce during a $200+ meal (excluding tip). To make matters worse, the same condiment was charged twice—something guests shouldn’t have to catch themselves. — Make sure you double check your bills.
Overall, for the premium prices, I expected better execution and attention to detail. There’s room for improvement to justify the cost and create a better dining experience.
Update: I find the owner’s response below rather condescending. To clarify, we didn’t have an issue sitting at the bar in itself; it just felt peculiar, as the only brown patrons, to be seated there while the tables behind us remained empty for over an hour. As someone who dines out daily, I am well aware of the cost of liquor. However, $46 for two ounces of Macallan—a respectable but hardly top-shelf choice—is excessive. I don’t need a lesson on the cost of goods; I am familiar with industry standards.
Charging for basic condiments at this price point is simply unacceptable. Items like salt, pepper, mayonnaise, and hot sauce are standard inclusions—they’re part of the cost of doing business. To be clear, it’s not like we asked for a free side dish; it was a small dash of hot sauce. This lack of courtesy reflects poorly on the overall value being offered.
Lastly, I am not interested in any compensation, so I respectfully decline. but I hope this feedback is taken constructively. My intention is to share my experience and highlight areas where improvements are needed to meet the expectations set by your pricing and reputation.

We are fortunate enough to eat at some pretty great restaurants fairly frequently. Donna Mac was honestly one of the best food experiences we've had in a very long time

One of our go-to places. Love the shared plates and they have delicious cocktails. We had the tuna crudo....yum! The cauliflower dish was served cold and it was pickled. It was good but a bit garlicky. Miso cod was cooked perfect and the chicken dish was delicious.
Our beef burger and chicken burger were delicious! I'm not crazy about brioche buns, but my friends sure liked them. We ordered the zucchini dish and my friends thought it was excellent, I liked it but didn't love it. My glass of wine was a generous pour, thank you. The dessert brownie was heated and absolutely fabulous, perfect size for 3 people to share after a hearty meal. The brownie (with ice cream) wasn't listed on the menu but our server told us about it when we said we were looking for something chocolate. I recommend this place, especially for brunch.

Food was very average and more annoying ..it was expensive. The server told us the dishes are sharable.. it came and it barely got off a flat plate so we had to order some more .. will never visit here again ever again

Absolutely amazing place. Went there right after I proposed to my girlfriend for a celebration bottle of wine and some eats. They brought us out complimentary champagne, congratulated us a bunch and were amazing vibes to be around. Could not be happier about the atmosphere or the food. Thank you Donna Mac for sharing our special moment with us.
