    I haven’t been to Don’s in a while and came here to celebrate the birthday of a friend. As usual, the food was outstanding as was the service. The restaurant knew it was a birthday because I had marked it in the OpenTable app and our server came over with a birthday treat for my friend. Much appreciated!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dinners of lobster tail and steak Oscar. Both were superb. Terri, our server, was fantastic.

    Always an excellent experience. Food is amazing. Definitely try the crab cake for an appetizer. This evening I had the scallops - excellent. Warm apple pie with vanilla bean ice cream was a treat. Great staff and chefs.
