    Overall great experience. There was an issue with something missing from my wife’s burger that the kitchen did not inform the service team. Our server handled the issue and the manager on duty also stopped by our table Outstanding customer service and over all our meal was delicious. We will definitely be back.

    Attentive server, great table, delicious food. I enjoyed the blackened tuna and risotto very much, as did another person at our table. The shrimp salad on a croissant was enjoyed by my spouse and another fried had the white crab pizza, which he thought could have used a bit more sauce.

    Have been to Donnelly’s several times, but always in warm weather. Decided to go with a couple of friends. The winter view was just as beautiful! Staff couldn’t have been nicer and it wasn’t as crowded as it can get in summer, for sure. Highly recommend for a casual, but very nice, dinner, in a lovely waterside setting.

    We were so pleased with Donnelly’s Dockside. The staff were very professional and gave us great suggestions for food selections. The view is wonderful even for the winter time. The food was outstanding, especially the squash soup with crab. Everything we tried was excellent. It was so good we returned for another visit later in the week.
