I celebrated an early Christmas dinner with my husband to cap off a challenging year. Our waiters and waitresses were uniformly friendly, well-informed and well-trained. It remains a consistent delight to have celebration meals at Donovan's. Well done for maintaining such excellent standards.

Absolutely brilliant Greek food, not a single misstep with anything we ordered. The food was just amazing. Serving sizes were generous very satisfying. Kids ordered souvlakis and were super happy, adults ordered lots of share plates and we were completely blown away by all the flavours. The staff couldn’t have been nicer and more helpful and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks but they were busy so sometimes a bit slow but we didn’t care. We were made to feel very welcome and as it was a special occasion we were given a private dining area so we could chat away from the upstairs fun. This will become a regular for us!
