    David's 388 is like being in a local favorite upscale pub, where all of your friends are close together, everyone's talking, and you're having the time of your life while being served amazing food. If you don't go in with friends, you leave having made new ones. I highly recommend sitting at the chef's dining bar!

    Food and service were good. Place is very small. If your table isn’t ready at the time of your reservation there is no place to wait without getting in people’s way.

    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!
