David's Restaurant

Delicious dinner

Incredible food and atmosphere. As Celiac, I really enjoyed the GF listed on the menu. Duck was delicious.

Delicious haddock presented beautifully by our handsome server, Jack. The blonde young lady who seated us was lovely as well.

Our group of six were all from out of town and didn’t know what to expect. Everyone raved about the food. My brother in law ordered mussels which looked fabulous, large and tender in a creamy sauce. Two had the salmon BBQ special, so well seasoned, and with yummy polenta frites a creamy jalapeño sauce to give it an extra “zing”. Our server was familiar with the wine we were drinking and recommended the crispy duck to pair, which my husband says was excellent. One of our group ordered David’s meatloaf which he said was delicious. The big tell was looking at everyone’s plates at the end of the night…all clean! Unfortunately, I forgot to get the server’s name, but he was delightful and helped to make a very special evening.

Sat at the bar and had a lovely dinner with friendly and attentive staff! Brie app was great too, thanks again

The food was absolutely amazing and more than enough. The atmosphere was welcoming and the service was impeccable. We had Josh as a server and he was very friendly and experienced. The owner David was a pleasure to meet. I would definitely recommend to everyone.

We stopped by David's Restaurant in Monument Square for a meal before heading to a play, and it absolutely set the tone for a perfect evening. The ambiance was great—warm, welcoming, and lively without being overwhelming.Our service was wonderful; the staff was attentive and timed everything beautifully so we never felt rushed to make our show. The wine selection was delicious and paired beautifully with our entrees.As for the food, it was pure perfection. The potato-crusted haddock with blueberry sauce was an awesome, creative blend of flavors. We also ordered a pasta dish featuring homemade apple kielbasa served over linguine, and it was outstanding. Chef David Turin's kitchen is doing amazing work. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it for anyone dining in downtown Portland!

We came because we were hungry and one of the specials we saw from the sidewalk as we passed br was beef bolognese - yum! Well, we got that (yum, indeed) and an appetizer of chips - soon crispy and crunchy and lots of dipping sauces to choose among. Since we wer sitting outside (World Cup watch party!!) I got this cool salad that had steak and dumplings - delicious, except that I failed to mention that I prefer my steak medium to well. Our lovely server noted my distress at the really rare steak and brought me some new, more cooked, meat. I think if the meat were sliced thinner it would have been better. Everything was really really tasty but thank goodness we saved room gorgeous dessert - o.m.g. Carrot cake ice cream?!! Amazing. Seriously I would eat this flavor, only, forever. But, best comment for last. There was this dessert at one of our favorite restaurants in Richmond (the dessert was the "candy bar" and the restaurant was Southbound (RIP)) and anyway, the salted caramel chocolate cashew torte was so so so good that it momentarily transported me back a decade and 700 miles away. I realized that whether it's for a World Cup watch party or before a concert at the State, I'm adding David's to my top favorites in Portland.
