    Ordered rack of lamb, seafood pappardelle, and a daily scallop special and all were delicious! The pecan chocolate tartlette was divine and presented with a special greeting and candle for our birthday guest. Highly recommend!

    We always enjoy our meals at David’s. Jack, our server, was attentive yet not overly present. Creative seafood dishes are their specialty!
