We ordered the Peremech Sandwich twice -- Tut's spiced ground beef wrapped in pastry with bouillon, sour cream, soy sauce, and sautéed onion -- unique, savory, and surprisingly filling.

Popular menu items include birria tacos, octopus, shrimp ceviche, and steak chimichurri. My daughter and I visited here for her birthday, and we both love Latin cuisine. As we walked in, we were greeted warmly and shown to our seats immediately. It was a chilly day, and the restaurant felt cold inside as well. The staff tried to warm things up with space heaters, but they didn't quite do the trick. We ordered empanadas, birria tacos, hanger steak, and sweet plantains with crema and queso fresco. When the dishes arrived, they were lukewarm--a bit disappointing, considering how cold it was outside. The birria tacos were delicious, though again, they could have been hotter. The meat was tender and well-seasoned, but I would have liked it a bit crisper. The hanger steak was tender, and the Pico de Gallo was bursting with flavor, pairing perfectly with the steak. It was nicely seasoned and had a good-sized portion. The empanadas were tasty, with flavorful and plentiful meat. The plantains were extremely delicious. The crema and queso fresco helped bring the whole dish together beautifully. The customer service was friendly, but the food could have been hotter; still, the flavors and seasonings were spot-on.

The biscuits were actually one of the highlights, but the butter came out cold and hard. Room-temperature, spreadable butter with a warm biscuit would have made such a difference.

I was meeting a friend who I'd never met in person before, and I was looking for somewhere sort of…read more"in the middle" where we could meet, had a diverse enough menu, and would not put us in the poor house. I've never actually been there before, but the menu looked like it had a diverse number of options for anyone's tastes, was not wildly overpriced, and to be honest, as a walker as opposed to a frequent driver, I've always been fascinated by the "tables for ladies" ad on the window. Hey, I'm a lady - and so is she - so there will certainly be a table for us! We chose to eat outside, which was perhaps not the best decision, as it is just loud there in the middle of the day, which is no fault of the restaurant's, but my friend did ask the waiter if they could possibly lower the music being piped into the outdoor seating area more than once, as it was already loud enough from the street traffic, and that request was not accommodated. Meh, I can let it slide, even though he could have just said, "no, we can't do that" instead of saying, "yes, of course" each time. Honesty is always the best policy, right? I ordered the veggie wrap with fries - which is a rare splurge for me - and it was perfectly cooked with a well-balanced flavors, properly grilled, marinated just enough, not overstuffed and everything stayed together through the whole meal - which is an A+ right there. It was large and I reheated the other half the next day, and same thing - it was just as good as it was when it was fresh from the kitchen. I've kind of been craving it since I had it. I am usually not a mayo fan at all, notoriously so, but their pesto mayo knocked it out of the park -- and I absolutely love that they serve it on the side, as I find , by default, many restaurants over-sauce anything - and even order burgers with ketchup on the side, as I prefer to taste the sandwich not the sauce, which is meant to complement, not overpower. The fries were shoestring, and yet perfectly cooked and not overly, nor under salted - and not a burnt one was in sight. Just based on this dish, it is clear they take care and pay attention to detail in their kitchen and I definitely would go back. My dining partner also had a wrap she loved, and had cole slaw with hers. We shared the fries and cole slaw. I loved the addition of cilantro to the slaw, but that was the one dish I found to be somewhat lacking -- it was a bit dry. I took the leftovers home, added a little extra mayo, a dab of ground mustard, and the tiniest bit of white vinegar (proportionate to the amount left) and served it as a side with a burrito I made my husband for dinner. He loved it. As those ingredients are the basic core of my cole slaw recipe, I think they gave me a new recipe to work with when I am making a slaw to go with Mexican food, as it worked SO well. (I also tied it together with a squeeze of lime - because what goes better with cilantro than lime?) Nonetheless, it was inspired of their chef(s) to add cilantro to cole slaw -- and I wish I had thought of it. Thank you for that inspiration to wow my Mexican relatives! I will be back and can't wait to see what other treasures are on their menu. I most unfortunately have an allergy to all fish and shellfish, so there are things I cannot try -- which is a running issue for me anywhere I go -- but I know there are many great meals there ahead of me.

I didn't think I would try coming again here, but here we are tonight…read more If I'm being honest, this is me giving Donovan's a second chance, but I've become a much different person from the last time I tried to come here. How did this pub do this time around? Honestly, not bad. Last time, I wasn't allowed service because I only needed a drink and was too full to eat, and that caused an issue with their policy that you have to order food to get a drink here. I don't know if that policy is still around, and I didn't really care to risk finding out the hard way. Plus, tonight I actually needed something to eat for dinner. So I came in and was seated, but it did take a bit to be noticed by an employee. The waitress I got, Melissa I think her name was, was nice enough. She was definitely patient, I will give her that when it came to my tendencies as a restaurant goer at least. What I will take away however is that this place is quite loud. I get it's a sports bar, but not a lot of people were actively watching the sports channels while I was there, so that excuse for being loud is null and void. I went full course tonight, getting a drink, an appetizer, entree, and a dessert. The dessert Melissa had to walk to the chalkboard at the bar to read what options were there (even though I could read them just fine from the table I was sitting at). We'll go in order. First, let's talk about the Sunday Special. This is a Ketel One Oranje Vodka that has orange juice in it. Honestly, a great drink to set the mood for the night. There's nothing more I can really say other than that. For the appetizer, there was the fried clam strips. These were honestly the weakest part of the meal. I'll admit that the tartar sauce was good and all, but the strips themselves kept breaking apart every time I tried to dip one into the sauce. The clam was barely noticeable underneath the breading, and the lemon it was served with didn't really do much for it either. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything groundbreaking to eat. Let's move on to the Blackened Mahi Mahi Sandwich, a sandwich in which I got served with coleslaw. Melissa did ask if I wanted lettuce and tomato on mine. I opted to only include the lettuce. I know one recent review asked if it was wrong to assume that both should be expected on a sandwich, but I'm quite frankly glad that I could just choose which if either I'd wanted on there instead of being forced to have both. It does come with the lemon chipotle aioli, which I'm honestly not mad about. Rather that on my blackened mahi mahi over a slice of tomato. As for the fish itself, it had a juicy taste and good texture. It didn't get foul enough for me to want to put on a Karen wig and fish tail, take the next submarine to Atlantica, and demand King Triton to talk to his manager's manager to keep his fish fresh, let's just put it like that. The sandwich came together well enough, though at times it did seem as though the aioli might have seeped through the bottom. The coleslaw was your average Connecticut coleslaw. For the dessert, what I went with was the creme brûlée cheesecake, and that was honestly not bad at all either. It actually tasted like creme brûlée cheesecake, and nothing was ratioed out of proportion. So the food was good enough. What about the cost? So when I got my tab, there are two amounts listed, one if you pay in cash, and the other if you pay with a card. I paid with card. Even then however, the price wasn't awful. $60.39 for the whole affair, excluding tip. After tip, I paid out $72.70. Now, I'm not going to say Donovan's my new favorite spot to eat at in SoNo because, honestly, it's not. It's decent enough, and that's where we'll leave it.
