If you are looking for the best steak house in San Deigo look no further. You must go to Donovan’s. First of the all the service is exemplary and the staff is always at your beck and call. They are all extremely knowledgeable about all of the fine details that go into every dish. Quite possibly the best and hardest to come by dish on the menu is the Prime Rib. It is only served on Friday evening until they sell out of it. Every Friday it sells out by 7:30pm so get there early if you want to try some of this fine delicacy. This is not your run of the mill Prime Rib you have a Christmas or at some buffet. This Prime Rib is dry aged and will melt in your mouth. They call it the Flintstones cut because it is a double bone cut that barley fits on the huge plates. At the very least ask your waiter about this fine cut. Donavan’s also has a enormous wine selection from all over the world and a fantastic sommelier named Drew who’s knowledge of fine wines is unsurpassed at any of the five star restaurants I have been to. He truly has a love of wine and will be happy to share his passion with you. Please ask for him if you go.

This place has, hands down, the very best steaks in San Diego. I had filet mingion and it was at least 4 inches thick! It is expensive, so I mainly save it for a special night out. Everything is ala carte, so if you want a vegetable with your steak such as baked potato, you will have to order it separately. So, the meal will cost you a pretty penny, but so very worth it. You will not be disappointed with this first class dining experience.

I've been going to Donovan's since its opening and I always have a great meal. The bar is great as are the ones tending. The service is incredible, they are extremely attentive. They used to have a cigar lounge but recently turned it into a private party room. We have had many special occasion dinners, business dinners and just hanging at the bar dinners and they were all great. I hope to visit the new Donovan's in Phoenix this summer.

If you are ever in the San Diego area GO to Donovans!
