I was at Donovan’s yesterday. The food and service was great. Only one issue. The friends I was with wanted to take a picture on the platform where the holiday decorations were. I misstepped and fell on my knees. A suggestion would be to have some kind of watch your step sign in that area. Or maybe put some bright tape along the top of the step to advise people to watch their step. Luckily I was not seriously injured.

First let me start off by saying I HATE leaving a bad review unless absolutely necessary. However, I will start off the pros. The interior was nice and had an Irish feel, they have good drink options as well. Now the cons: At all costs I would AVOID the nachos, personally if you want a good nacho head on over to JP’s. To anyone reading this I truly feel the nacho cheese was microwaved. There was no hamburger on them or chicken -which my fault must have missed that on the menu, I did see the chili nachos.. but I did not get those, not a chili fan. But just throwing it out there. Best part of my meal was my seltzer, they do have nutrls (no high noons just be aware). They did have a leaky roof and some 5gal buckets collecting the water (which I get).. but just had that sitting in the back of my mind though. Also my waiter had no excitement or customer service skills, kept shuffling her slippers. I got the turkey club and NO seasoning AT ALL.. I was left with salt and pepper on the table (thank gosh they were full) they were not appetizing after my addition of seasoning or even before. Nothing was saving those. The person I was with got meatloaf and is worried “he might get sick from” the consistency was weird but kept saying it wasn’t bad (also a people pleaser.. so take that as you feel) would I recommend? Probs not unless your go to restaurant is closed.. but there’s always food at home.

Been here a few times now, last night was my first disappointment. Albeit the food was always good, I tried the Salmon for the first time, will not order that dish again. Mostly disappointed with the timing of my food delivery especially since it was not busy. My salad arrived first, ok, then just as I finished my salad our appetizer showed up followed directly by the main course. I was just commenting to my fiancée on how long the appetizer was taken especially since another couple seated nearby had shown up a bit after us, already had their drinks and appetizer brought out before my salad even arrived. The disappointment was our appetizer, Irish Tacho with corned beef on the side, had taken so long, appetizer arrived with no corn beef, took a few minutes to get our waitress to return to inform her the corn beef was missing, but mostly just as we tried our first bite the Main course was served. We ended up boxing our App to bring home. I understand when it’s busy, but it was not. Like the food and atmosphere so I will return and pray for better food service timing. Good local place with pretty good food.

No GF options
We loved it! Stopped in multiple times the weekend of our nieces wedding. The bartender was very nice. One night we stayed until closing and got the guitar player to sing extra songs.

The waitress was exceptional, and the food was beyond delicious. However, the wait time for the bill was a bit long, as if our waitress had forgotten about us. Not only was the wait time long, but the waitress gave us our containers for leftovers and our desserts to go, saying goodbye and for us to have a lovely day.
I asked if you still want us to pay the bill?

Will come here again. Location and parking were tough, small lot and there were no spots when I pulled in. It was popping in the restaurant! Went on a Tuesday and found out they do music bingo every week on Tuesdays. Food was good but slightly overpriced. Service was great and vibes were on.
Great view.

Very nice. Light and airy. Good acoustic insulation so you can hear the instruments without having your hearing shredded.
