Extremely Inappropriate and Unacceptable for Families
We visited this establishment for lunch after a trip to the nearby children’s aquarium, assuming it was family-friendly since they offered a childrens menu and are located within walking distance to the aquarium. Unfortunately, we were shocked and deeply disappointed by what we experienced.

We came from Maine for the Soundside music festival and stayed in Norwalk. We ate here twice while in town for the weekend! We left our credit card on accident the first night and they held it for us! We’d forgotten coffee creamer for our air BnB so we asked the bar tender if we could buy a cup of cream. He gave it to us! Melissa was our waitress and she was great! Super friendly and great service. Over all AMAZING food and service!!! If we ever travel to Norwalk again we will...read full review
Special shout out to Donovan’s bar tender tonight who wouldn’t let me use his cell phone when I had forgotten mine. Oh & this was when I walked into an unknown power outage in the area & I was supposed to be meeting people there. And by the way, I’m 70 years old. Nice going Donovan’!

Donovan's is a charming vintage restaurant/pub with a relaxing atmosphere and excellent service. Located in the heart of South Norwalk, it offers a laid-back environment that is not like a typical sports bar, making it a nice spot for lunch or dinner. The menu features a range of options, including spinach dip and housemade chips, clam chowder, blackened mahi mahi, onion rings, and BBQ wings. The food is great, with dishes like clam chowder that is chock full of clam and creamy, and blackened mahi mahi that is flavorful and not dry. The onion rings are thin and crispy, while the burgers are considered the best in town, along with excellent french fries and chili. The wait staff is friendly, with some standout employees like Rafa, who is known for being attentive. Although there have been remarks about a rude bartender and some staff being distracted, customers have generally praised the service, mentioning how staff members go above and beyond. With amazing food and service, Donovan's is a place where guests feel right at home. There is also outside seating that allows dogs, which adds a nice touch for pet owners. While the atmosphere can vary, especially when sitting outside, the overall experience at Donovan's keeps guests looking forward to returning.
