    The Salmon Tartare appetizer was both delicious and beautifully presented. The tavern burger was enjoyable; however, we didn’t care for the steak fries. They had an unpleasant frozen taste and the flavor was bland.

    I've eaten at a number of DB offerings in NYC. Food was well prepared and, given Restaurant Week menu, a great value. Service was a little slow even though the restaurant was not particularly busy.

    Excellent food and great lunch special price. The French onion soup could use a little more soup, but tasted great otherwise. We loved the tuna tartare, mushroom ravioli, and the burger. While it was quiet the afternoon we went and we could have flagged the server at anytime, I do wish they would check in once during each course.

    David Burke Tavern is situated in a beautiful old town house on the east side. The food and selection are good, not great. Wait staff and support staff do an excellent job. I will say that the reception on the ground floor felt unwelcoming and off putting and impacted our perception from the moment we walked in.
