I expected US Prime beef to be succulent and delicious. It was really disappointing. My husband had the same and the same experience, but he thought the steak had a strange, unpleasant flavor. Maybe their filet mignon is better. The smashed potatoes and vegetables were good. My husband thought the au gratin potatoes were not cheesy enough. We will not be returning to this restaurant even if we win the lottery.

Our table was set up for our special occasion and we were given a delightful dessert as well. Food was perfectly cooked. We would highly recommend Donovan's for that special occasion destination!!
