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.

Had made a reservation but was running late. Nathan changed the reservation timing without any fuss. We also changed our mind and wanted to sit outside, although reservation was for inside. Again, Nathan got us an outside table easily. Meal was great too!
