    The ac had not been working and was just coming back on, so it was a bit warm when we got there. Not their fault, but no one said anything until we mentioned how warm it was

    We reserved on OpenTable, but could not find seating at the bar with a Waterview so we left and did not die in there.

    The hostess greeted us warmly and was very friendly. We were seated quickly as we had made an online reservation. Our server was competent but was not welcoming. Business was slow so she was not hurried. I don’t want to guess why she wasn’t more welcoming, just observing that most servers are more outgoing and friendly as their livelihood is largely dependent on tips. We did tip her 20% which I felt was more than compensory for her service.

    Always a great experience dining ar Donnelly's whether we arrive by boat or by car. Particularly liked the special dishes available on their Mother's Day menu. I hope they keep some on the regular menu.

    Service was excellent! Seafood broil was great. Atmosphere was good but a bit noisy (several families with small children). Better noise level than previous visits. It’s always fun to visit Donnelly’s Dockside!
