A consistent winner of local media's annual best-of polls, Donovan's Steak & Chop House finds an appropriate home in La Jolla's Golden Triangle financial district. A beveled, mirror-topped bar serves stiff cocktails and complimentary mini-filet sandwiches, while the outdoor heated cigar tent remains one of the last smoking oases in California. All the steak house favorites, from filet mignon to the massive 24-ounce rib eye chop, are offered, as well as an excellent skillet-fried potato side with onions and peppercorn gravy. Voted Best Steak House in the 2008 San Diego magazine and 2007 City Beat readers polls. Wine Spectator award-winning wine list and full bar. Serving dinner Mon–Sat. Closed Sun.
