    We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary there and are so glad that we did. The service was fantastic - we were guided through the menus and assisted with making excellent choices. The pacing of the meal was perfect and the food was creative and well executed. We'll be back before our next anniversary. Highly recommend.

    We met with friends for drinks, tapas and catch up. The Little Donkey delivered: our waitress was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Vinho Verde was as described and great. Oysters were fresh and delicious, the vegetables were plentiful and well prepared, noodles had a great ratio of toppings vs pasta. We all agreed we enjoyed the experience and will be back. Thank you!
