   A perfect experience from beginning service right through the entire meal. Every time we come to Cleveland we ALWAYS stop at Don’s. The reason is because it’s ALWAYS a great experience with great food and service.

   A friend and I had an excellent meal at Don's last evening. We both selected the special, wolf fish (similar to monkfish in texture and taste) served with mushroom risotto, grilled asparagus spears and basil pesto. The combination was delightful and exquisitely fresh tasting. Service was professional and unobtrusive but observant. Our visit was a relaxing end to a busy day and we will be back soon for a reprise.

   Had not visited this place in many years - a bit of a throw-back as Cleveland goes and I mean that in a good way. The chains seem to have decimated these type places. The don't even charge for bread! I would provide a higher rate but thought for the price the service was a little slow. Used plates not taken away in a timely manner and the overall pace was a bit sluggish. Menu (fish selection) a bit limited. One of the house specialties, a fish stew was very tasty and the portion quite filling.

   Lobster bisque tasted like canned tomato soup. Hollandaise sauce tasted like pure lemon juice. Caesar salad could have come from a bag From Aldis. Total disappointment. Bummer!

   Always a pleasure to dine at Don's. Our reservation was for 1:30, so it was quieter than usual. The cod was a treat and the sides delicious as always. Almost always I pick Don's for a special lunch or dinner.

   I had the Steak and Lobster and I have to admit it was one of the best meals I have had in a long time. The steak was cooked perfect and the lobster was amazing. Our waitress, Terry was very attentive. I highly recommend Don's Lighthouse for a special evening out.

    Food was good and service, too. However I was here probably 20 years ago and the decor looks identical. Could use an updating/refresh to brighten it up.

    They forgot multiple parts of our order. They did not bring my daughter’s crab cakes nor my husband’s Cesar salad. They informed us later that they ran out of crab cakes. Our sides came out cold! Very disappointed!

    We went on Mother's Day, so take that into account. The food we had was excellent, particularly the calamari and lobster tail, but the entrees were both our second choices because they had run of several items at 5:00. Service was slow and a bit abrupt.

    This was our first visit here in 20 years. A friend recommended we try it. We took advantage of Happy Hour before we sat down for dinner. Very nice happy hour with solid app specials. The stuffed mushrooms and Mussels were excellent. There was over 2 dozen Mussells for$7.50 in an a tasty garlic sauce. Our entries were halibut and risotto and salmon. Both were excellent, perfectly prepared and a solid value for seafood in a restaurant these days. Great service from the wait staff made the night even better. We will be back soon.

    An elderly friend and I dined at Don's Lighthouse last evening in the dining room, partially partitioned from the bar/lounge area which makes conversation easy and pleasant. Tables are covered with white tablecloths, increasingly a rarity today. Service was fast, proficient, observant and friendly without being chummy. The menu, although not huge, offers a fairly wide range of selections with seafood being prominent and always excellent. I had the Faroe Island salmon with excellent lobster mashed potatoes and fresh spinach - delightful! Lots of lobster in the potatoes! My guest had a filet. He excused himself to use the restroom just as our waitress was approaching with the entrees. When he did not return immediately, she quietly told me she had asked the chef to prepare another filet for him as his would be overdone under the heat lamps where she had placed it. I thought that was extremely thoughtful of her. When he returned she told him his steak would be out very shortly, cooked as he had ordered and it was. We had a delightful evening, good conversation despite his being somewhat hard of hearing, and delicious dinners well worth the price.

    So nice to come back to Don’s Lighthouse - we hadn’t been for a while, and it was lovely to return. The food was every bit as good as we remembered (cracker crusted cod was amazing!) and our server was terrific. A nice bonus was our bottle of wine was half off (on Tuesdays)! Great value for the quality of food and service, in a lovely setting without too much noise to ruin our quiet conversation.

    Mary, our waitress should be cloned! She made our experience so enjoyable. She was knowledgeable on wines and food, she did not steer us wrong! Not to mention she put up with our shenanigans! My only glitch in the meal was that my prime rib was way overcooked when I asked for Medium Rare, she did offer to make it right, but I wasn't going to wait. It's been 30 years at least since I've been here...and not sure why I've waited so long!

    Our dinner was good we both got steaks. Service was ok, our server seemed like she had a lot of tables. Dirty plates and glasses were left in the table longer then ideal. Overall, the place is dated. Dons has been around for forever, but seems stuck in the 90’s. We will go back, we did enjoy our meal but an update is definitely needed.
