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!

My friends and I arrived at 4 pm on Sunday afternoon exactly when they were supposed to open and they told me they’re completely booked and if my friends and I want there is possible sit at the bar. Until 5 pm all tables were completely empty, they were having ic on ridiculous low temperature. They restrooms were having trash on the grand, which I might understood if I wasn’t first customer after opening. They bring us different desserts with just information they don’t have the other one and putting on the table the replacement. Food was delicious and the restaurant is nice stylish with nice outdoor seating which I couldn’t use with my friends because they were fully booked( when I was living they seated one table. So I can just say make a reservation and bring winter clothes otherwise you gonna freezing at the bar

We had an inside window table in Feb & it was warm. The kitchen has an open view to the seating tables, which is very nice. This is a classy upscale dining experience. We recommend reservations.

This place was beautiful inside with a remarkable monument outside.
Inside the place has a really cool vibe with some classy decorations.
The food was outstanding. The lobster was delicious, the salmon melted in my mouth, the shrimp was plump and the ravioli was wonderfully creamy.
The staff were super kind and on top of it. Truly great service.
I had the belevediere for drink and it was delicious.

David's is truly one of those special places for amazing food.
We started the roasted brussel sprouts, which are dressed with crushed peanuts (?) and some kinds of sweet sauce (but not overly sweet) over it all.
The crispy skin duck breast is perfectly medium rear on a bed of risotto and sautéed greens.
The pizza was reminiscent of thin crust NY style pie.
Loved it all, we'll be back.

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

We were lucky to land a walk-in spot at the bar overlooking the kitchen on a Thursday during a busy week - no other tables were available due to prior reservations.
Our server was kind and quick, bringing us cold waters and refreshing cocktails (the boy had Pepsi) - a Monument Mule for me, yum.
The garlic knots were the best I’ve ever had in my life, and simply must be tried.
I had a killer open-faced lobster-seafood ravioli and the boy ate a terrific hand formed pizza. The Mrs. had mushroom cavatelli and that met her high expectations.
David’s is clearly a local favorite in a town with good food. It was a special treat sitting by the bar, as fate would have it, because we had the luxury of watching the fine food prepared by a diligent and practiced team, who worked in sync with the staff to kick out exceedingly appetizing plates one after the next. Poetry in motion.
The place was a wonderful break from the seafood focused places by the water, and a reminder of the value of fine dining. Judged by the crowd inside and out, many agree with this sentiment. If you’re coming through Portland, this is a key spot, competitive with any of the places we’ve sought out in the region, and would clearly hold its own back here in New York.

Wonderful evening, fabulous food. An impromptu visit that was intimate, coupled with excellent service. Each course was as good as the next. We had the 9 course menu (the only one available on the weekend), and it was a lot of food. Would recommend not eating too many of the yummy bread options they offer. There is a 7 course option on weekdays, which we'll try next. Menu changes this coming week, and will change monthly, I believe. Highly recommend a visit!

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.
