    We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Vue de Monde. The service was incredible, with great attention to detail. The food was the best I have ever had in my life, with many of the dishes containing ingredients I don't usually like yet being my favourite of the night. An experience my partner and I will never forget. Thank you to all the staff for such a memorable experience.

    I celebrated an early Christmas dinner with my husband to cap off a challenging year. Our waiters and waitresses were uniformly friendly, well-informed and well-trained. It remains a consistent delight to have celebration meals at Donovan's. Well done for maintaining such excellent standards.

    Great place to catch up with friends and family. Nice food and fun activities. Great practice for golfers and even more fun for people who just want to experience golf on a not so serious level. Would definitely be back and experience it again.
