We had a beautiful anniversary dinner at Donovan’s last night. It’s a bit if a financial splash but absolutely worth it for the quality of food, service, atmosphere and the wonderful ocean view. The Sticky Date Soufflé was the cherry on top. Please don’t take it off the menu ever. :)

Hands down one of the best culinary experiences of my life. Every dish is perfectly balanced in flavour, consistency and colour. The quality of the ingredients is exceptional and the wine wilst has no end. Cannot report even the slightest issue, the staff is ready to help on every aspect and with the open space kitchen you can see everything happening all around, very tidy and clean. If I ever come back to Melbourne this will be on my MUST list and I'll definitely recommend this venue to all friends visiting the city.
