Resto was very loud, could not hear beyond the person sitting next to me.
Although the food was good. It is beyond pricey for the portions received.

Nous avons pris le brunch. Toute la cuisine était correcte mais sans plus. Par exemple, le pain était sec pour les oeufs bénédictines. Le cadre & le service en revanche était super.

Perhaps the sexiest joint in Westmount. Caveat: you might run into someone you dont want to see, its so popular.

Belle expérience dans le restaurant qui propose une table d'hôte le midi. Les plats sont bons, le service est sympathique & la décoration est moderne. Il semble être possible d'avoir un service de valet le soir pour information. Le seul petit bémol serait sur la quantité des plats. Mais cela ne m'empêchera pas d'y retourner à l'occasion.

NEW 27SEP25

We have eaten at Donato many many times. Not the same experience this time. Food was great & server Julien was excellent. The woman who greeted us was RUDE, UNFRIENDLY & DISMISSIVE. If this had been my first time & first impression it would have been my last. With a reservation they only offered us two tables at the entrance where it is noisy & busy. We have NEVER sat there. Absolutely not how I want to spend a night out. Finally we suggested the patio & they found us a table. The WHOLE time NO one else was seated at those 2 tables. Is this the way you treat a good customer. I think not. The other thing that changed. At most good restaurants when I'm spending $25 for a glass of wine, they pour it at the table so that you can sample it & make sure it is agreeable. They used to do this at Donato. Now they apparently have a machine that pours the wine. Call me old fashioned but I like the experience of the wine being poured at the table. We'll be back, but not for a while. Also when we left the same woman ignored us at the door. Not a good 1st or last impression.

We have eaten at Donato's over 6 times now. The key to our enjoyment there is the Great Food & the Impeccable Service. In other wards,'Consistency' is the key to success. My Sea Bass (Branzino) was flavourful & perfectly cooked & my wife's' pasta dish (Conchiglie) was tasty & spicy. Aleks our server was polite, friendly & attentive. Our food arrived hot & we didn't have to ask if we'd like another glass of wine or to have our water glassed re-filled. We eat out every week & the inconsistency in service is so often a detriment to the enjoyment of our meal. As is the fact that food is often not served piping hot. I find that food tastes so much better when it is served hot & not lukewarm warm. Never an issue at Donanto but more often than not a problem at other restaurants. Having a delicious meal well served is not rocket science but is an inconsistency at many a restaurant we don't return too. For a GREAT meal out, You can't go wrong with DONATO.
