Penelope's review of The Don

I am a busy person but feel I should congratulate the team at the Don for continuing to deliver excellent food(I love the scallops en croute and tournedos rossini)in such a professional yet friendly manner.The service is consistently good and this is one of the few CITY restaurants I visit where I know I can be sure my clients and I finish on time if we have any time constraints.The staff are responsive and very efficient yet the quality and value is maintained.The table spacing is excellent so I have no concerns when discussing business.I love the building and recently was invited to a dinner in the private room(a vaulted old port cellar in the basement) which was so atmospheric and special.I congratulate the team there and am impressed that over the years the high standards and,in my view excellent value for money with good portion size, continue.The Don deserves recognition ..its more glitzy rivals may come and go ..yet it continues to present an excellent choice for lunch or dinner when food service and ambience really count.We may try the new openings around but we always come back and continue to be very impressed!
