Donovan’s Prime Seafood

From the team behind Donovan's Steak & Chop House, this upmarket Gaslamp seafood spot "maintains high standards" set by its sibling, with "top-notch" fare prepared "with finesse" and "prompt, helpful" service; the sleek digs with an "NYC feeling" are ideal for a "date night" or going "out with friends"; P.S. a post-Survey chef change may not be reflected in the Food score.

Heard that this was a must visit restaurant. The welcome, service and of course the food was all top quality. So much so, that it has to be highly recommended. The choice on the menu and wine list is large and varied. Can't wait to visit again.

I stop by Donovan's for quick bite in the hours right between lunch and dinner. The host Oisis was extremely nice and bartender Jessica was super cool. The atmosphere is pretty chill, I loved sitting at a bar and listening to Frank Sinatra. But the only thing I didn't like, the chef refused to add grilled steak to my Caesar...
