The staff was wonderful on Christmas Eve! Our server Julia was awesome and super accommodating. Elsa, the manager was very sweet and sent my wife an amazing dessert for her Birthday. We had a great time and the views from the upper level at Christmas were beautiful. There were some rowdy Christmas revealers at the bar but Elsa quieted them down. 😎 I highly recommend the restaurant for any occasion. We had a party of seven and everyone left very happy and satisfied.

Rachel took wonderful care of us. The food was delicious and served very promptly. There was a mix up with our Open Table reservation but manager Robert promptly texted me the morning of to accommodate us at an earlier seating because of the holiday. Rachel was very hospitable and made sure we had everything we needed. From the cocktails, to the appetizer, to the entrees and desserts we took to go, an outstanding meal. It was the perfect Christmas Eve dinner for our little family. A well-deserved reputation as an excellent establishment.

Have been to Donnelly’s several times, but always in warm weather. Decided to go with a couple of friends. The winter view was just as beautiful! Staff couldn’t have been nicer and it wasn’t as crowded as it can get in summer, for sure. Highly recommend for a casual, but very nice, dinner, in a lovely waterside setting.
