   Fun place with good food but had to wait 30 minutes to be seated even though we had a reservation.

   As a shuttle driver for a local downtown hotel, I am always confident in recommending this restaurant to guests because of my own experience and then the great feedback I receive from the guest when I pick them up after their meal.

   A wonderful dinner experience! Our sever, Nelson, was attentive, courteous and knowledgeable. Every dish we had was amazing, and the special treatment for our friends birthday was perfect! Oysters were super fresh, truffle fries on point, the duck was perfectly seasoned and cooked, salmon was fresh and delicious. A bit loud, but it was Saturday night and quite busy. We will be back!

    Love David's! We had a reservation for 3 at 5:45 (after the tree lighting) for counter seating. Got there at 5, and they were able to seat us. For starters we got salmon cakes, truffle fries and tater tots. Loved them all!. We shared the meatloaf entree. It's my must have because it's just that good. We also got the pepper crusted sushi tuna. Definitely peppery so my friend asked if they could just add a little less pepper, and they were happy to accommodate. I also got David's cosmo, and my friends had wine. Great seating as we were able to watch the chefs prepare everything, and service including our server was impeccable. We will be back!

    It was easy to make a reservation and our waitstaff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgable. Plating was beautiful and the cocktails were inventive. I'll admit I had high expectations, but the food fell flat for me. In general the flavors were there when the textures were off or vice versa. Medium-rare duck breast should not be chewy and risotto shouldn't be mashed potato-like. Hopefully it was just an off night execution-wise- all the right stuff is there.

    Since we were visiting Maine for the 1st time we thought we'd order something that was seafood. I have to say the fish was truly awful and considering the amount of money we spent on this meal I would have rather had, and I say this with all sincerity, a fillt-o-fish from McDonald's

    The last time I had the opportunity to eat at one of David's restaurants was about 20 years ago when he was in Newburyport. He has not lost a step in any aspect of the service, food or ambiance. Now that my niece is going to college in Portland, I am going to use the excuse of visiting her to come back again and again.

    It is the first time I've been to David's on a Saturday afternoon so the experience wasn't very different from a workday lunch of a pre-theater dinner. I will assume the the loud music was for the "family" dinners. The service was slower than what I thought was usual but our server was polite and accommodating - I liked him. I try to understand that good help is a premium now and am patient with slow service. I have eaten at David's ever since it took over from Burger King and will continue to eat there. I won't call this a bad experience, just a different one.

    Food was nicely prepared in a timely manner. Haddock with crab meat and a fall salad with salmon were very good. Birthday dinner for my husband. The dessert plate had Happy Birthday written in chocolate.

    We enjoyed our dinner from start to finish. The service was friendly, attentive, and efficient. We ordered 3 appetizers; mussels, crispy brussel sprouts, and bruschetta. All were delicious. The wine list had a nice variety. Our entrees were meatloaf, lobster ravioli, salmon salad, and the special pork chop. All were beautifully presented AND tasty. For dessert, we ordered creme brulee, and angel food cake with a fruit compote. Again, A+. I highly recommend David's Restaurant at Monument Square.

    The ambience was lovely and the waitstaff friendly. It took a while to get our food but, it was a busy night so not untoward. What was disappointing was the steak and salmon. The sirloin was tough, chewy, hard to slice and yet very bloody. The salmon was a small slice and very bland. I'd heard so much of David's food being excellent which made our disappointment more acute. Desserts were delicious and made up for the entrees. It was so nice of the waitstaff to place my dessert on a plate with Happy Birthday written on it - a lovely surprise which made the experience nice overall. Thank you for that extra touch.

    From the moment my husband and I arrived, it was a perfect time. My cosmo was one of the best ever. Perfectly blended and iced. We tried the calamari as a app, which was served with peppers and mixed greens. Yummy. We split a baked haddock with risotto served over a blueberry/lavender Grenache. So good! Desserts were great as well. We never felt rushed and the service was spectacular!
