                                    Love Donna’s and always enjoy the food. A couple notes about the current menu. There are so many dishes on bread. We went with a group of 4 and basically ordered the full menu minus a few dishes and so much of it is served on bread or a cracker. Both the pea salad and green salad are 10/10. The mackerel is 10/10. The snapper was delicious but the dish was over salted. We got the steak and it was thin, tough and just not that great. I’ll still be back and enjoyed it. Just felt there was too much of the same with the bread dishes and steak was a let down.
