   Lovely service from the moment we arrived and throughout. The food was delicious and the sommelier wine recommendation was spot on. The dining room is comfortable with a really nice ambience - and sunset was well managed given the windows all face due west over the water. Thanks for a lovely evening and we’d throughly recommend Donovans- well worth the trip out from a central Melbourne hotel.

   We were thrilled with our window table. Food & service were very good. We were very disappointed however when our waiter informed us at 2:13 that we needed to vacate our table by 2:20! At this point we had just received our desserts and were sipping a fortified wine. It was a case of bolting down our food so that we could ajourn to the sitting are area ie. One long couch for 4 ( not conducive to conversation) ! This aspect of the day totally marred our overall experience! Not good Donovan’s!

   This place is always amazing. The staff are thoughtful and attentive without hovering over your table endlessly. The food was great as always and even being a mid night week it was a great atmosphere.

   We were welcomed from the moment we stepped through the door. The wine and our meal were outstanding. We had a great evening. The location was stunning.

    Last night, I dined at this restaurant for the fourth time, and while the food quality was outstanding as usual, I was disheartened by the unprofessional attitude of the server. She displayed a noticeable difference in how she treated Western and Asian customers, which felt quite discriminatory. Unfortunately, her rude service detracted from the wonderful dining experience we had hoped to enjoy with our friends.
