I have been to David's many times, and this visit, like all of my visits, met all of my expectations. We went a bit early, so it was quiet; I don't know what the noise level would be when they are busy. What I do know is that the food was excellent, the waitress delightful, and the ambiance inviting. I will always go back to David's when I am in the area. Their excellence is consistent.

Took my husband here for his birthday dinner, I have not been here in over 20 years. The ambience was absolutely breathtaking. The food was incredible and the service was impeccable. Anthony, our server was probably one of the best servers we have ever had. Not sure why it took me 20 years to come back but now I think this is our new favorite place!

Food was a lot better than what I had anticipated! Heater in the igloo wasn’t very strong but still pretty. Service was excellent, even when our reservation was on the more inconvenient side.
