DonJito

great food and ambiance. I would definitely recommend to friends. Worth the drive.

Nice spot, decent food, service was okay. Maybe our waiter was not having a good night but wasn’t the friendliest. 🤷🏻‍♂️. I would come back again but it would be more for celebrating a special occasion instead of everyday dining.

Eh ok, probably wouldn’t visit again. They fill the cocktails with ice, you don’t get what you pay for. Service is slow and waiter barely checked on us. The empanadas were good but the enchiladas only come with rice, they could supplement the dish with another side. The shrimp salad is tiny, they could’ve added more veggies and 3 pieces of shrimp is ridiculous

We waited 35 minutes to be sat down even though we had a reservation. Manager seemed to be the only person hustling during what seemed to be their busiest hour. He was nice and kept telling us we would be seated soon and for our trouble he would comp us our first round of drinks. Finally we sat down and ordered drinks which no liked. Their margaritas taste like syrup and cheap tequila. Drinks also too a very long time to come which normally I would not mind however since we were sat so late we only had about an hour to sit order drinks and pay our bill before they had to close. Food was also mediocre except for the flat bread and wings. Which were very tasty. Last but not least the bill comes and no drinks comped (I paired the bill alone and still left 18%) However after I left two drinks de were waiting for an Uber and said something to the manager whom then gave them a $50 gift certificate.

Came in for a Covid safe brunch and was pleasantly surprised! Sat outside on the patio with heaters in the January sun. Great prix fixed brunch menu and unlimited mimosas and sangria. Service was great. It was a great, safe way to spend an afternoon!

They have a tented backyard with widely spaced tables.

My husband and I have dined at Don Jito many times. The experience is always excellent, from the warm welcome at the front desk to the steady but unobtrusive service and of course the excellent food. The cuisine is unlike anyplace else in the Sound Shore area - more spice, more variety and more unusual ingredients. And the staff manages to keep the vibe lively and festive - no small feat in these tense times!

Great service and food. Will be back soon.

We enjoyed our drinks, meals and dessert. Never disappoints. Our waiter, Travis was more than pleasant and very attentive.

Seated right away. They are social distancing. Very clean. Great service. Food was good but I felt it needed salt or more flavor, but fresh, perfect temperature and the meat juicy and tender. I would go back. Not too crowded and my drink was amazing!

Great place!

I am never disappointed when I come here for dinner.

We had a mostly quiet time with our dinner. The food and the service were very good. We plan to return again soon.

Good service, they check in on us, food was good, restaurant clean.

Definitely a nice restaurant. Lovely to sit outside--lots of heaters during this time of increased safety--and food was very nice. Great atmosphere.

Love this Place, The food good The staff on point and The manager always makes you feel right at home. I brought family and friends here never one complaint :)

Heard about this restaurant from friends and I finally went. It looks small from the outside but it has a lot of room and it also has outdoor seating in the back. Food was really good. Menu has a good variety. The waiters were attentive. We sat outside and the heaters were already pumping. While outside it started to drizzle and they immediately put up the umbrellas. I definitely will go again. I recommend it.

Everything was fine. There was a couple at an outside table (like us) who had 2 small dogs with them sitting in chairs literally up at the table. One was wandering around the restaurant. Definitely not assistance dogs so they should not have been in a restaurant

Welcoming was genuine, place was clean and in compliance with CDC.
Benjamin went extra miles in suggesting food and drinks and delivered an exceptional service through the night. He was courteous, respectful, professional and friendly.
Food was delicious and affordable. We will definitely be back to DonJito soon.

We sat outside and the tower heaters were ok
The inside seating was far less socially distant than we would have been comfortable with

We enjoyed our dinner on the outdoor patio. There has been one change since our previous visit: half the patio is open but the other half is now enclosed in a tent, making it less safe from a Covid point of view.
Service was very good and they were accommodating about giving us a truly outdoor table.
Highly recommend the teriyaki wings for an appetizer (they were out of them last time).

Food was very, very disappointing! Ambience so nice outside!

Love this restaurant. It was my second time here & they didn't disappoint me. Food & drinks were great. And the staff were friendly as well.

GREAT SETUP. Heat lamps outside allows comfort through atuumn nights! Food and service is also top-notch.

Outdoor dining was lovely and well social distanced.
Food and service were good.

This was my second time here. About a year apart. Food is good, creative and good looking. Drinks are weak, and when you’re spending a lot of money you should get a good drink. Service is all over the place, as if busboys and waiters are working for the first time. Takes away from the meal. The people I were with loved it.

Great food and great service.

It was wonderful. Busy Friday night. We sat inside. The tables are distanced in accordance with social distance. The staff are all so helpful and kind. Our server Brett is wonderful! We have had him serve us every time we go. The food is great! The drinks are awesome! The margaritas are freshly made! The music is a bit loud but it does create an upbeat ambiance. We will be back.

Fun evening with a friend. Great food and service

Don Jito ALWAYS delivers exception quality across the board. The food is fantastic, the service excellent, ambiance awesome, and the owner/manager gave us a free desert and champagne since we were celebrating our 10 year anniversary.

Second time there. We loved the service and the food. Definitely our new favorite place.

Wonderful safe outdoor dining. Beautiful patio in back with heat lamps. Tables spaced apart. No tent (we won't go to an outdoor restaurant with a tent that covered and enclosed on 3 sides). Food and drinks were very good. Special red snapper paella was phenomenal (beautiful presentation). Only downside is they were out of two things we initially ordered. I assume they weren't expecting the business they got on a weekday night. Covid procedures were followed and service was very good.

Always great food and wonderful service. A beautiful outdoor space and very accommodating.

Great place. The manager is on point. Staff excellent. I’d say more but I don’t want too many people to know about this place and make it even harder to get reservations.

good service, food seems old and reheated
kids plates were just not good
go for drinks in the back, cook outdoor space

Great food and service. Will be back soon.

DonJito has a great outdoor seating area in back and nice heat lamps. We had great food and I would highly recommend it!

The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. We also enjoyed the special bar drinks, and dessert. Everything about this place screams fastidious , eloquent , and scrumptious , can’t wait to return with friends and family

Food and frozen drinks were delicious. Plating needs a little work. Great date night! We found parking right in front of the restaurant. We were seated quickly. I recommend making reservations.

The experience started with bad cocktails. Friend ordered a Mojito but asked for Malibu rum. Received the cocktail and it didn’t have malibu rum. Mentioned it to the waiter who then brought over a shot glass of the Malibu rum to pour into the drink instead of making a new one with the proper balance is liquor. Never offered to replace the mixed drink even after we asked to replace it with a completely different one. I had ordered a strawberry margarita but they were out (? Out of strawberry margaritas at Mexican place?) Got a mango instead and there was no mango flavor. Ordered the red snapper, it was loaded with a ranchero type sauce (menu said coconut ginger of which there was no ginger or coconut flavor at all). Since it was a full grilled fish with head and all you Couldn’t see what you were eating with thick sauce on it. I personally don’t eat fish heads so it was really hard to tell what you were eating with the sauce on 100% of the fish. Potatoes tasted like from a box. The best part of my meal was the roasted Brussel sprouts under the fish. It’s such a cute place and we were so disappointed with the entire experience.
