Hello everyone and we are back and we even have a new guest who goes by the name of tragic. It was a nice day until I got 3rd degree burns all over my body at the beach, so we figured to go to a bar and grill to cool off and watch St John's make me lose money. We were seated almost immediately to where we met with a beast of a waiter. His name was Ricky and you could tell he knows for sure what he's doing. With his funny jokes and quick responses he more felt like a homie than our waiter. I was feeling different so I ordered a shrimp platter and had a quesadilla app (which the ogre took part of from me). She's so fat too it's actually crazy, I mean it's all "food food food" with this girl. Anyways everyone got boneless wings and again I got something different.. I'm a leader not a follower. Side note if you were wondering why Doctor B and his wife weren't together he decided instead of hanging out, he had a rugby tournament??? So anyways onto the reviews Wife: "They left my lips with a tingy feeling, but it was more than good" Ogre: "I liked the coleslaw" Tragic: "Wood" My good buddy bezos: actually unfortunately I can't say what he said on here because it isn't pg Me: Sure I mean bar food nice people, food was probably all frozen but it was a good time and great people. Nice job Ricky, thanks for being dope

I've been here a bunch of times, but it had been about a year since I had last visited Palm Valley…read moreOutdoors. It was a Thursday and my husband and I hadn't planned on doing anything that night, but the opportunity presented itself, so we headed that way. Anytime it's a nice day out, this place is going to be slammed. Why? Because they have prime real estate on the water, and a great view. We found parking pretty easily, then headed to the back to try and grab a seat at the bar. We lucked out and they had one seat, so I took the seat and my husband stood. I ordered a beer, and so did my husband. Staff was quick to grab our order. The view was great. They even had screens that they pulled down at the bar, so the sun wasn't hitting us too badly (it gets SUPER HOT, so it's a great feature). We saw they had a happy hour menu, with deals on some of their apps. We ordered the fish bites. I've had fish bites other places before and had an idea in my head of what I thought these would be. These weren't what I thought. They were cut into triangles. Now the presentation wasn't great, when they first brought them out I thought they were chicken nuggets. When I had one, it was good. It was pretty simple (salt/pepper, didn't look like any breding) and a roumalade sauce that was a bit spicier than I anticipated. I will say that in regards to food and beverage, you're paying for the view. The beer was pretty pricey, so just beware. I got to see some birds and the view from the water was nice.

Last time I was here I gave it 2/5 stars, but after this visit I'm changing it to a 3/5. The vibe…read moreis great right on the ICW with live music, indoor and outdoor seating, an outside bar, and boats and wave runners going by all day. The food was definitely better this time around. It's still a little pricey -- our bill for five people was around $400 with tip -- but overall it was a much better experience. Waiter was just ok , we had to remind him a few times of items and slow to take dirty plates away. At on time we had a pile going. If you're looking for a fun place to relax and enjoy the waterfront atmosphere, this is a great spot.

I decided to give this place a shot while free for lunch one day and was pleasantly surprised. This…read morehas been my favorite restaurant of 2026 so far from the quality ingredients making up the food to the superb service offered by the staff. I got here as they opened on Sunday, and it got packed relatively quickly. I'd recommend having a reservation if you're planning to visit during busier timeframes like this. I was seated promptly by attentive staff, and quickly had both food and drink menus to begin ordering. I was looking for something tasty without being too heavy, and settled on the Little Hans Vienna Lager along with the 8 oz steak burger and fries. The beer had amazing flavor similar to Devil's Backbone Vienna Lager with a good, crisp finish. The burger meal, described with "Tillamook cheddar cheese, caramelized onion & bacon jam, beef fat aioli, grilled potato roll, truffle fries", was arguablely the best burger and fries I've ever had in my life. Everything tasted fresh, and the flavor of the wood-fired grill certainly complemented the meat. The house-made pickles were a great touch to add another layer of complexity to the burger. I could tell the fries were fresh cut and never frozen. The truffle oil made these even more amazing. The manager offered and brought a special sauce to try that they normally serve with their chicken chicken sandwich that was superbly tasty and tangy. More than impressed with my entree, I elected to try a desert and was recommended the S'mores pie by my waitress. The deliciously buttery crust was my favorite part of the ensemble and blended well with the savory chocolate filling topped with a toasted marshmallow. While a bit pricey for lunch compared to most places, I was more than satisfied with the offerings provided here and would love to visit Ember and Iron again. Give my number one choice of 2026 thus far some love!

The sweet potato tots were fluffy and came with a delicious cinnamon butter, the fried squash came out hot and crispy with a good amount of breading, the onion rings came out cold but tasted okay. The wings were of a good size and prepared to order as to spice/sauce choices. The veggie burger is actually a beyond meat type burger versus a veggie patty which wasn't clear in the description. The caramelized onions on top were a nice addition and the bun was toasted/buttered which was a nice touch. The neighborhood environment of the restaurant is welcoming and many patrons know each other which was a nice experience. Overall we would dine in again.

It all started with our server, Kelly who had an amazing energy and an all-around great enthusiasm. We ordered appetizers including fried pickles, Reuben egg rolls, and the Irish nachos with corned beef. All were very good, the Reuben egg rolls being the best. The environment is energetic - it seems they run a lot of daily specials and special activities including bingo, wing nights, etc. during our visit, the bar area was quite full even around 5 pm, and the dining room was filling up in anticipation of bingo. We left before bingo, but I'm sure my wife will be back to enjoy a bingo night in the future. With good food, amazing service, and reasonable pricing, Donovan's is a great option in the area.
