Donovan’s Steak and Chop house offers a refined setting filled with upscale class and elegance. The menu showcases a variety of cuts of succulent USDA Prime steak, while offering a variety of other options from Australian rack of lamb to North Atlantic Salmon. Appetizers and salads offer to tantalize the palate before the main course, while potatoes and vegetables—always complimentary—accompany each entrée. An award-winning wine list offers an astounding selection of both well-known and boutique wines across an equally varied price range, and gracious service, complimentary valet parking, and VIP treatment are the icing on the cake.

Review Title: Such a Great Place to Dine!!
I usually don't write these types of reviews, but I had such a great time at this place I thought I better. Went last weekend with my fiance and we were so pleasantly surprised. The place had such a contemporary stylish decor and great ambiance. We were greeted by very lovely pleasant hostesses and seated upstairs. Our first impression was breathtaking when we first walked in. You get this feeling of class and elegance with a overwelming feeling of coolness. We have nothing but great things to say about the food and service! We were so pleased we are going to go again this weekend to try the bar and lounge downstairs. The very congenial mangager invited us back for tapas and drinks. Great job Osetra! Very impressed.
