About Dear Donna

AmericanDate night

Tucked into Columbus Park, this corner restaurant pares dining down to what matters: impeccable ingredients, clear technique, and approachable presentation. Every dish is deliberate without being precious, delivering big, honest flavors in a relaxed, neighborly room. It’s the kind of place you return to for consistently excellent, unfussy meals.

What to Order

Brick-Roasted Half Chicken

Crisp skin, juicy meat, and a lemon-herb pan jus — a perfected, unfussy classic.

Charred Seasonal Vegetables

Market vegetables kissed by fire, finished with bright vinaigrette and toasted seeds for texture.

Ricotta & Herb Toast

House-made ricotta, garden herbs, and olive oil on crunchy bread — simple, bright, and comforting.
