David's - Portland

We truly enjoyed our experience last night for our 11 year anniversary. The food was amazing, and our waiter was knowledgable without being pretentious. Just one small piece of feedback. When I made my reservation 3 weeks ago by phone, I reserved the chefs table. When we arrived last night, we were seated at a regular table. When I inquired, it was explained to me that another party using 'open table ' online reservation, had already claimed the chefs table. We were a little disappointed. I was just thinking that perhaps if someone could have called and told us before we arrived, it would have staved off our disappointment. nonetheless it was a marvelous 9 course experience, and obvious that the staff loves what they do. Thank you.

The scallop is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten. WOW.

We had a Great dinner experience at David's the other night. We sat up by the pass overviewing the open kitchen. The team worked well together and were the perfect amount of interactive with us. All the meals came out looking amazing and the chef told us what they were when we questioned. The consensus was: best swordfish we have ever tried, blackened salmon was excellent, the steak was great, and the haddock with crab was phenomenal! For dessert the ice cream sandwich was impressive and amazing! The creme brulee was excellent as well. A few no-proof drinks were a welcomed surprise as two of us don't drink. The cocktails were great for the two of us that did drink.

You need a reservation to get into this place; however, if there's room at the bar, you really should try this place out. The bartender knows how to make an excellent drink, and she was very attentive to our little spills and empty plates. We ordered the mussels appetizer and then had the Duck and a Chicken Caesar Salad for dinner. We had no room for dessert, but would have loved it too I bet! I have been coming to David's for a long time now and I am still impressed with their service and food and spirits!

Great restaurant with amazing food and realistic portions. I don’t like getting a plate that can feed three people. The inside decor is very nice, industrial chic? Open kitchen in front where you can see the chefs cooking which is pretty cool. Great service too! Finding a place to park is kind of a pain but that’s how the area is. We parked a couple streets down and walked
