    Since 2006 I have dined here. Parking was always complimentary with a two hour stay for dining This year they have implemented a No Complementary parking on weekends. It cost us almost $29 to park while dining at the Sea Horse Cafe. Needless to say, I will not dine there ever again. Management made a very poor decision. Paula Whitney

    Can't go wrong at the Don! The Sunday Grand Buffet at the Don was a great place to celebrate a birthday. It was a beautiful day, live music was playing, and the mimosas were flowing. While the selection is not huge, there are enough breakfast/lunch crossovers to meet most diets.

    Calamari dipping sauce could use a flavor boost, Ciopolini was also light on flavor

    Have eaten here several times, always good. This time food was very disappointing. Service was good, albeit slow. We will likely give them another chance, but repeat food quality would cause us to not return.

    Very chaotic. They need more staff and up their game on food; nothing special considering the Don is a beautiful place!
