Donovan's Meatery

Donovans Meatery is the revitalized Boca that use to be open but closed. As you enter the setting is reminiscent of Boca with the hanging glass bottle lights with the bar centralized. We were quickly sat down and the staff seemed quite friendly however, this changed. From our seat we could see the kitchen staff preparing food. We started by ordering the prime rib poutine with drinks. The poutine was mediocre at best, but the espresso martini, and old fashioned were good. My wife ordered prime rib and myself ordered a 16oz lacquered delmonico medium rare. Upon arrival of our food as I cut into my steak it was noted to be done with very minor pink. Upon waving the server down and asking them to replace it this is when things changed. As it was taken back to the kitchen they could be visibly

I’m a little late on this review, but better late than never! We recently celebrated my brother‘s 50th birthday at Donovan‘s. The food and service was exceptional. But the best part was that I called ahead and asked if they could do something “obnoxious” to celebrate my brother 😂. I hadn’t known that I was talking to the owner. Right after our drinks were delivered in walked this large, balloon display, it was even better than I could’ve imagined 😂. We all got a huge laugh out of it, several pictures, and my brother loved it. I neglected to get the owner‘s name, but thank you, thank you, thank you! You hit it out of the park. Run, don’t walk to visit this place. I’ll be back again soon! 😍

I made a reservation for our 25th anniversary dinner. We have only been in the area for about a year and have want to try Donovan’s. I didn’t realize they closed an hour after our 8pm reservation. When we went in, we asked the hostesses if it was too late for us to try enjoy our night, with only an hour. I quote, “You have come here and we will take care of you!” We were so happy! They found a perfect, quiet spot for us and were glad to serve us. Our server, Patrick, was amazing! Attentive, cordial, knowledgeable and never seemed to rush us or anything! Excellent, excellent server! Everything we ordered was amazing! I had the seasonal old fashioned, do warm and perfectly balanced! We ordered the Prime Rib Poutine and it is a LARGE appetizer. Hot, crispy and melty. Delicious with the ho

Wow! Donovan’s Meatery absolutely exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in, the service was flawless. Our host, Hayden, set the tone with a warm, welcoming energy that made the entire experience feel special. Our fabulous female bartender and Jason, who seamlessly balanced roles as both bartender and server, delivered some of the best hospitality I’ve experienced anywhere as of recent. The cocktails were crafted with precision, the food was thoughtful and delicious, and every detail felt intentional. Donovan’s is truly doing it right — an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Impressed! 🙌

We made reservations for 11 people for 7pm. We were seated right away, placed our food and appetizers but sat for two hours with just drinks and appetizers. Finally received food, several steaks were undercooked. The served Hayden did his best but was left alone without support from his manger after our table on more than one occasion asked to speak to a manger. We were offered a free dessert and wine bottle to be comped. They didn’t have the dessert we wanted, we settled for a slice of chocolate mouse that was overly sweet. The bottle of wine was not comped, just one glass of wine. The manger came and spoke to one side of the table. She didn’t even make eye contact with the other side of the table. The whole experience was mid. Sad the sever was made to take the blame for the manager’s l
