    Heather was a fantastic server who knew her stuff. She made our experience exceptional. The food was outstanding and the live music topped it off. We definitely recommend.

    We have tried the steak 2 xs now and we bought different cuts each time. Neither was good. We got New York strip which was supposed to be Prime but it was not. Had a lot of grizzle in it. We haven’t gotten what was actually ordered the last 2 times there. It’s unfortunate because we’d really like to go there more often. It’s convenient and we’d really like to stay in Brandon and not have to drive to Tampa for a good dinner.

    We decided to go for lunch as we had been here for dinner previously. Dinner was great and lunch was just as amazing. Donovan’s has become our favorite local fine dining restaurant. I can’t wait to share it with my family when they visit!

    Our server Hayden was excellent, he provided great service. The only issue was 2 people in our party ordered steaks and both were over-cooked. One med-rare came out medium, and the other was supposed to be medium came out med-well. For a restaurant that specializes in steaks, getting the temperature correct should be a priority. Our server verified the temperatures when he took our order. He, as well as the manager, did offer to have new ones cooked.

    Our food was excellent. Their attention to wine details and cocktails were great. Dessert is a must. Hayden was our server and did an excellent job.

    We love going to Donavan’s. Service was great as always. The steak dinner was delicious. They ran out of the crab cake appetizer but I had the 8oz filet with a 3oz crab cake on top, on a bed of asparagus. The crab cake was a little burned so I asked for a fresh one. They were nice to bring me two more. They were a little overcooked but I did appreciate the gesture. I had 2 old fashioned cocktails. They were OK. I wish they would use top shelf bourbon, but it wasn’t bad. Overall it was a great time and I will certainly go back.
