Re: Donovans Downtown
Not only does Donovan's have incredible steaks but their seafood is unbelievable as well. My partner and I tried the salmon and crab and our friends tried the lobster and veal chop. We still argue to this day about whose meal was best...mine, of course (lol)
Extensive wine list- We were feeling a bit overwhelmed so our server made a couple of recommendations that went well with our entrees.
It gets a little hectic in the restaurant but the service still shines. I recommend making a reservation because the place is always jumpin'.

Re: Donovans Downtown
If you love steak, go to Donovans. Steak was absolutely wonderful - best I've ever had - and the service was outstanding! Convenient downtown location with fun clubbing nearby.
