The food/drinks, service, hospitality, etc. is outstanding every single time! David’s is our go to spot for a celebratory dinner and we are never disappointed! The food is amazingly fresh and I never have to worry about my gluten allergy as one of the first questions they ask the table is if there are any allergies to be aware of. We always leave full and please with every meal we eat at David’s!!

Food and service was excellent. Noise level was not consistent with the decor and ambience. A few loud patrons were a bit over the top.

We have been to David’s several times for special occasions. The food is always on point and the staff is eager to please. This trip we wanted to try the lounge area seating. The atmosphere was lively without being overly noisy. Table setting was formal and ambiance elegant for a lounge. Overall the food was delicious and the cadence of each course paced so we could relax and enjoy. Although the menu is limited, it offers a variety of land/sea choices for different palates. Dessert was a fantastic Banana Cheesecake! Overall another excellent experience and we will continue to return for special occasions 😃
