Everything looked really good—honestly hard to pick just one, but the burger definitely stood out. It caught my eye right away with that melty cheese and how fresh it looked. Seemed like it had a great balance of flavor and didn’t even need anything on the side. I’d order it in a second. The whole vibe was super chill and it was the kind of burger you go for when you’re craving something legit.

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.
