    Always a pleasure to dine out here. Fast, professional, and delicious! Had the walleye, it was superb. My wire had short rib that melted in our mouths! Highly recommend this one!

    While our table was perfect, and our waiter (Chris) knowledgeable and attentive, we found the value lacking given the portions and price. But compared to other upscale restaurants, comparable.

    The food was fantastic once again. The consistency of quality at Don's is great. So many choices for dinner. Service was very good and allowed substitutions with our orders that made them that much better.

    Always a delightful experience, food, and service amazing. Peggy is the best server in Cleveland.!! we always start off with their amazing mussels and bruschetta. Tonight I had local walleye which was prepared amazingly well. Always enjoyable experience with family, business, or before a show.

    Birthday for a friend, our waiter Chris delivered impeccable service and was quite knowledgeable about not only the food but the wines. Fabulous evening in every way! Delmonico steak, steak Oscar and Moody Blues were our choices, all perfect!
