Mr. Donahue’s Features A Comfort Food Menu That Radiates Warmth

[tw-divider]The Scoop[/tw-divider]

  • Everything on the menu at Mr. Donahue’s is deeply comforting, like a hug from grandma. With dishes like Swedish American meatballs, roast beef, and chicken-fried pork cheeks, it’s the kind of hearty food that makes you realize how absurd it is to count calories
  • Each main dish comes with a sauce (cowboy butter, classic gravy, and mushroom marsala, among others) and great sides like crab imperial, pickled beets, a deviled duck egg with bottarga, and crispy onions
  • The chefs, Ann Redding and Matt Danzer, won a Michelin star in 2015 for the menu at their youthful Thai restaurant, Uncle Boons. Mr. Donahue’s, which shows off classic American food, takes homestyle cooking to new heights

Mr. Donahue’s is tiny (there are two tables for two, and five stools at the counter) and doesn’t take reservations. It’s a charming idea, but makes the logistics of dinner a little more complicated. It’s worth it, but be prepared to wait
