Re: Donovan's of La Jolla

We ate at Donovan's for the first time while we were staying in La Jolla and I have to say that both my husband and I agreed that it was our best meal ever!  Many times at other steak houses, I suffer the horrified looks of waiters when I ask for my filet mignon cooked well done. It was different here- and my steak was cooked perfectly!  Well but not dry...  We also had the the Wedge and the Asparagus salads, creamed spinach, and sauteed mushrooms.  Can you believe we even had room for the creme brulee and dutch apple pie?!!  I had to be rolled out of there!

For every reason imagineable, I give Donovan's Steakhouse all perfect 5 stars!!!
