Service was great and food was delicious. It was a bit expensive for some items but that's to be expected at a restaurant like that. I've been before and I'll definitely go again. Would recommend to anyone as a good date spot.

Servers were very nice but I do feel like they tended to hover. They seemed too eager to try to clear the table and we found it distracting at times because multiple people would come by in a short period. But the food was great, as always!

We are back again at Little Donkey, this time as a party of three. First thing I want to do is give a shout out to our server, Whitney, and Joe, who is the floor manager. They took such great care of us. The service was amazing!
The food, once again, was outstanding! Fresh oysters, brussel sprouts, bao buns, desserts, all of them were amazing! You can tell this is a kitchen that clicks at all times and really cares about the food that they prepare.
Go to Little...
