The steak and chips were delicious! Unfortunately the grilled calamari starter was disappointing. We were shocked by the atmosphere (lack of) when we came in to an empty restaurant on a Friday night. However the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the main courses were yum.

Donovan’s continues to maintain the highest level of food quality and service. Each dish sings with flavour and you really do want to make each mouthful last. Fresh takes on traditional cocktails make them a unique taste sensation and great wines enhance the food selection. Today we had dessert and coffee on the terrace which further enhanced the dining experience. Our waiter, Oliver, was a charming and knowledgeable member of staff offering professional but warm and relaxed service. He definitely added to the experience. I think Donovan’s continues to deserve its place in the upper echelons of Melbournes fine dining scene.

We celebrated our parent's wedding anniversary over lunch at Elenika & Co. with 26 people and it was excellent. The food was delicious and generous. The service was exceptional. Definitively value for money with BYO wine option. The team was friendly and accommodated us with high chairs and a pram as well. This is our second time here with a group and we will come again. Thank you so much!
