Don Angie Reviews Summary

Reservation

Pros:

• "I think reservations seem a little easier to snag recently than previous years."
• "Worth the wait! Long awaited reservation and it didn’t disappoint."
• "I was able to grab one with the first seating so I highly recommend getting there before they open."
• "Reservations are highly recommended, but if you try walking in your best bet is first seating, otherwise it’s a loooooong wait."
• "Great place! Not a fun reservation to find, but if you stalk Resy right at 9am when they open spots it’s possible to find one."
• "Got lucky I was able to grab a seating there."
• "So glad we managed to get reservations and I’d go back again next week if I could!"

Cons:

• "Coming back however proved to be quite a challenge because they were always full and it was so hard to get a reservation."
• "It's a pity that is so hard to get a reservation, having been trying to go back and impossible..."
• "This probably has to be one of the hardest reservations I’ve tried to get - but my friend finally got a call back for a standby reservation at 10pm on Wednesday just after I’d won a Broadway show lottery for the same evening!"
• "The ONLY gripe about this place is how absolutely difficult it is to get reservations."
• "It's so hard to get a reservation here."
• "Getting a reservation is nearly impossible, and walk-ins have an extensive waitlist even on the day itself."
• "It was very hard to get a reservation here. When they open up reservations at exactly 9am they always ran out right away."

Service

Pros:

• "The service was also extremely good. They were always smiling and very knowledgeable about the menu."
• "Can’t end this review without mentioning the stellar service—very attentive to our allergy needs and our food came *so* fast!"
• "Our server was delightful and efficient."
• "The service was outstanding, the outdoor seating they have is super comfortable and private."
• "Service was lovely and the drinks were incredible."
• "We were in very good hands with Jennifer and the rest of the staff while dining at Don Angie."
• "Our dinner became much more special thanks to our server Jenna. She was sweet and attentive, and made our dinner memorable."

Cons:

• "Service was mediocre so I won’t speak much of it."
• "The staff weren’t friendly."
• "Service is pleasant but kind of rushed because they try to pack in as many people per night as possible."
• "Food was fine, but service was not good. Very very rushed. They kept grabbing plates while my friend was still eating!"
• "The manager was EXTREMELY condescending, sarcastic, and dismissive."
• "The lady who served us was rude. Not sure if she is being racist or judgmental but we can definitely feel the hostile."
• "Service on the other hand.. they tried to make us order more by saying not enough food and the kitchen closes soon so you need to order now."

Food

Pros:

• "The lasagna is the most fresh and melt in your mouth pasta I’ve had."
• "The chrysanthemum salad which is an absolute must. Such an amazingly herbaceous vegetable that I wouldn’t have imagined would be the perfect twist on a Caesar salad."
• "The garlic flatbread and lasagne are the stars of the show."
• "The lasagna is absolutely a must - the salad too."
• "The Japanese sweet potatoes are a unique dish that are served with an incredible sauce."
• "The highlight was the caramel pasta, which is only available when the pastry chef is in, so make sure you don’t miss out when they have it."
• "The food was amazing."

Cons:

• "The food was very tasty but borderline a little too salty."
• "Food is mediocre at best - everything is overly salted and heavy."
• "But I’m not a big fan of heavy spices especially star anise and dill, and I could taste that in the minced meat :("
• "The only thing we regretted ordering was the Garganelli."
• "The flavours within the pastas are below average and is definitely not worth the cost or hype."
• "The mushroom crudo is just ok, I think this one is ok to skip."
• "The smoked mussels pasta was not our favourite."

Ambiance

Pros:

• "Great atmosphere."
• "Ambience and vibe was fun."
• "Very cozy."
• "The restaurant is very small and intimate with a great bar."
• "The vibe of this place is quaint with nice aesthetics."
• "The atmosphere was also awesome, very clean and put together."
• "The atmosphere was nice where you could feel that it was upscale but also very comfortable."

Cons:

• "This is an overrated pricey restaurant."
• "Overrated, salty food— especially considering the absolute hassle my party had to go through to get a table."
• "Pretentious slop fest. Avoid avoid."
• "The atmosphere was quite stuffy and a bit claustrophobic, between the tightness of the table layout and the constant movement of servers weaving in and out."
• "Inside gets really noisy, outside slightly more pleasant but you are in a 'cabin' on an urban street."
• "Very disappointed. Made reservation and was seated in the outdoor dining. Literally never took our jackets off."
• "The booths are not fully heated (there is some heat but it is not strong) and they have these loose fabric curtains that don’t block out the wind."

Price

Pros:

• "Honestly great value given the experience."

Cons:

• "Average $75/each all inclusive."
• "Expensive for the quality and amount."
