Vibe: Underwhelming decor, and ambiance

The vibe at Dona Maria can prove disappointing, as per customer feedback. The establishment's ambiance sits fairly low, with the decor relaying a dated and dull aura. Let's not even start on the much overpriced drinks and the unfitting casualness for a date night.

  • Okay Drinks

    Drinks ok but better enjoyed elsewhere, overshadowed by the food.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Decor often described as dated, dull, and needing a distinct overhaul.

Perks: Efficient services, poor group handling

Dona Maria scores fairly well with perks, especially services, with the staff often reported to be friendly, fast, and attentive. However, the establishment gets dinged on noise control and ineffectively handling large groups, while being kid-friendly and having reasonable parking space.

  • Great Service

    Service often described as friendly, fast, attentive, and professional.

  • Okay To Park

    Parking lot is spacious enough, but ingress/egress can be tricky.

  • Hard To Hear

    Annoying loud conversation can be disruptive in a quiet environment.
