Don's lighthouse has been a steeple in the City of Cleveland for many years and there's a good reason. The good the service just overall a wonderful experience very enjoyable.

Great old school charm at the bar. Happy hour is great with plenty of bar seats. We had a group of 9 people and it's not always easy to squeeze into a bar and have good conversation. Huge, tasty martinis!!! We did not go in the restaurant but recommend the bar!!

My wife and I had ventured to the west side for a lacrosse game and afterwards one of my friends jokingly said let's go to Don's lighthouse. Doesn't look like a lighthouse but you should try it anyway. So I looked at my wife and she said hell with it let's go! I'm not at all familiar with Cleveland or pretty much anything west of Mayfield Road but the parking lot was easy to get in and out of and it was not busy for a Thursday night. We arrived about 7:50 p.m. and we're promptly seated in the lounge. It was weird they still had the covid plastic crap up that doesn't do anything but to be honest at this point it's nice to cut down on the chatter from adjacent tables. Our server approached us, his name was Eric s. In the world of servers you have good ones great ones and Eric. Eric was neat, tidy, prompt, enunciated had knowledge of the menu and talked just enough. I ordered a diet Coke my wife a glass of wine. My wife got the lobster roll and I got the grilled chicken club. Both of those came with fries however I opted for green beans. After the order was placed in Erica text back and rebuild my diet coke it was in a wine glass almost which was a little weird but glassware choice is a thing with some places. My wife's lobster roll was $25 and came with a very generous amount of lobster. So much in fact it was put in a hot dog roll the kind of look like a wide piece of bread split and she had to eat it with a fork and knife there was that much content. My grilled chicken club was literally right off the grill but it was not a club sandwich in the traditional sense. Chicken breast cheese lettuce tomato onion. The green beans are not something I would ordinarily crow about but it appeared they saute them in just the right amount of butter salt and pepper. Not overcooked and were amazing. Eric promptly cleared our plates and took my card upon request and we were out of there in almost 30 minutes flat. Again I can't say enough how pleasant it is to have a professional server wait on you. One that takes his job seriously makes the dining experience worthwhile. Total amount of the bill was about $57. 10 out of 10 would do it again even with the 35 minute drive to the west side.

Dons is the epitome of a classic seafood restaurant. It's the perfect mix of classy and casual. I've never eaten in the main dining room, only at the bar, but service from the bartenders is always spot on. The drinks are great and so is the food. My favorite dishes so far have been the PEI mussels, the crab cakes, and the Portuguese seafood stew. Everything is fresh and delicious. Happy hour is awesome too!

Tough to find a fault with Don's 1. I prefer Monday burger night and happy hour in the lounge. 2. The staff is on it, they just don't make mistakes, and if they do, it's quickly fixed. 3. Drink menu is extensive and high quality. 4. Ambiance is a perfect mix of classy and casual. 5. Overall, wonderful place to eat and drink, would be my first choice for a business lunch or a happy hour with my employees. 6. Can't comment on the main dining room but I would be surprised if it did not have the same quality as the lounge/bar.
