    We are always greeted as if I was going to a private home. There is a nice wine selection and cocktails. I love the grilled octopus. You can't go wrong with any entree, but don't forget to check out the daily specials. If you prefer a quite dinner, ask to sit in the dining room. If you are there after 7:00 p.m. and like a lively atmosphere than sit in the lounge area. Always a treat at Donny's G's.

    Food was great and servers were attentive. We booked due to live music and were disappointed that the band apparently starts a fair bit later. Not a super extensive menu but plenty of choices.

    Very fun overall. Live music, very busy. I asked for chicken parmigiana but got eggplant. I ate it and didn’t say anything because of a time issue. It was still delicious and the server realized what happened when boxing up the leftovers. He apologized and made up for the mistake. I will definitely be returning again to try some of the other delicious food.

    Excellent food. Easy free valet parking. Very good but overwhelmed waitress. She was the only waitress serving the entire bar area tables. Stretched thin. What downgraded the experience was a private kids party in the big room where at least one young child was screaming loud and shrill. His family did nothing to quiet him down. Really annoyed the diners in our room.

    Second time having lunch there. Wish it was located closer to my house because it could be a regular stop. The Pasta fagiola was outstanding, everybody loved it. I had the grittier de mare with Arrbiata sauce it was fantastic. Highly recommend.
