    Just WOW! This was our first Winter Wednesday at David’s Monument Square, our second at a David’s restaurant. Chef Turin got it spot on with this event. The menu appealed to a meat eater and a fish-only eater and our cream brûlée bread pudding was probably the best dessert we’ve ever had. The bottles of wine offered were very appealing. Our server, Ali, was exceptional. I would not change one single thing!

    Food was indescribably good. We had the Mandilli al Vero Pesto Genovese gluten free, made with potato gnocchi, and the wild boar dish, finishing with Panna Cotta and Chocolate and Cream Gelati. Our server was extremely attentive and helpful with navigating the menu. They cater very well to individuals with allergies as well. Will be going here again. 10/10 experience. I will be dreaming of this food.
