We had a terrific dinner for four people! The service is wonderful. A Margherita pizza; steak; salad; drinks. We have since gone back and sat at the counter looking into the bustling kitchen. Great cod dish, best shrimp cocktail ever, terrific dessert.

Amazing food. Drinks are good. Service was decent, but she could've been more attentive. Dishes are unique and creative as well as the drinks. Ate everything on our plates. Small portions for the price for sure but you don't leave feeling overly stuffed. Perfect amount for me. My husband still needed to eat more when we got home. We split an app of the truffle fries and the greens salad. Both small portions but very tasty. I got the pepper crusted steaks with fall veggies and garlic mashed potatoes, it was amazing. My husband got a fish and lobster risotto with asparagus, soooo good. Overall, for a quality dining experience in Portland, its worth it but best saved for special occasions in my opinion. Two appetizers, two entrees, 3 mixed drinks and a beer, and one dessert cost

I had a great time at David's and the flavors of my meal left a lasting impression - it was divine! I came by for a celebration night before a concert at the State Theater. It's at a walking distance even in deep winter. David's has a cozy romantic vibe and I enjoyed it a lot. My server was very polite and welcoming. I definitely recommend it to anyone in the area!

Food is beyond amazing. It’s a small restaurant but I loved sitting at the bar and watching the chefs cook the food in-front of us! Clean, relaxed atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back!

I loved eating at the kitchen bar here! My mom and I had a rather early dinner here. I was able to make the weekday reservation on the day of. They do implement a $25 cancellation fee if you are a no-show, FYI! Great food (the mushroom ravioli was our favorite) and excellent service. I shared some pics here! I do have one plea: David, please add additional ventilation. The range hood was clean and in working order, but it wasn’t enough adequate ventilation. Those cooks’ poor lungs! The regular ceiling vents (2x, seen in pic) were very clogged with oil and soot. The pizza area NEEDS its own range hood or something! Don’t sit at the kitchen bar if you have asthma! See pic!
