David's Restaurant

Paul Barnes

You need a reservation to get into this place; however, if there's room at the bar, you really should try this place out. The bartender knows how to make an excellent drink, and she was very attentive to our little spills and empty plates. We ordered the mussels appetizer and then had the Duck and a Chicken Caesar Salad for dinner. We had no room for dessert, but would have loved it too I bet! I have been coming to David's for a long time now and I am still impressed with their service and food and spirits!

David's is truly one of those special places for amazing food. We started the roasted brussel sprouts, which are dressed with crushed peanuts (?) and some kinds of sweet sauce (but not overly sweet) over it all. The crispy skin duck breast is perfectly medium rear on a bed of risotto and sautéed greens. The pizza was reminiscent of thin crust NY style pie. Loved it all, we'll be back.

We had an inside window table in Feb & it was warm. The kitchen has an open view to the seating tables, which is very nice. This is a classy upscale dining experience. We recommend reservations.

We were lucky to land a walk-in spot at the bar overlooking the kitchen on a Thursday during a busy week - no other tables were available due to prior reservations. Our server was kind and quick, bringing us cold waters and refreshing cocktails (the boy had Pepsi) - a Monument Mule for me, yum. The garlic knots were the best I’ve ever had in my life, and simply must be tried. I had a killer open-faced lobster-seafood ravioli and the boy ate a terrific hand formed pizza. The Mrs. had mushroom cavatelli and that met her high expectations. David’s is clearly a local favorite in a town with good food. It was a special treat sitting by the bar, as fate would have it, because we had the luxury of watching the fine food prepared by a diligent and practiced team, who worked in sync with the staff to kick out exceedingly appetizing plates one after the next. Poetry in motion. The place was a wonderful break from the seafood focused places by the water, and a reminder of the value of fine dining. Judged by the crowd inside and out, many agree with this sentiment. If you’re coming through Portland, this is a key spot, competitive with any of the places we’ve sought out in the region, and would clearly hold its own back here in New York.
