What people say, in short
Donna's draws recommendations for food in an unpretentious setting. One diner singles out beef and parsnip, another praises smelts and vegetarian dishes, and a commenter highlights a leafy salad. Another diner considers it a reliable choice. Some feel it deserves wider attention, but that is enthusiasm for the restaurant rather than a separate concern about the meal.
