   Hubby and I were visiting Portland, ME for the first time and selected David’s based on location, food and reviews. It did not disappoint! We shared two entrees - Lobster ravioli and baked haddock - plus a grilled romaine salad. All were amazing! We sat at the bar and the bartender was super knowledgeable and friendly. Great dining experience and wonderful ambiance.

   The food was delicious and the dishes were well put together with lots of different flavors. The presentation of the food was very nice. The restaurant was lively but not too loud, and it was well decorated. The waiter was friendly and attentive.

    Food quite good but a little overpriced. Sat outside and service was very slow. Waited almost 15 minutes for the waitress and another 15 minutes for our drinks. Server was overwhelmed and entire meal took close to 2 hours. Spoke with manager/chef and she did not even apologize or care. The bill for 2 was over $150 and all we had was a drink, one appetizer, 2 entrees and 1 dessert to share. Very disappointed in our experience.

    It was a very hot night and because the kitchen is open and part of the restaurant it was sweltering in that area we were moved to the bar and that was better but still very warm...just know on hot days your experience will vary based on where you sit. The food was very good and the brussel sprouts were exceptional.

    We had a wonderful meal here. The garlic knots were just ok, but the calamari was very good and was served in a Mediterranean flavored sauce, with balsamic vinegar and olives. The swordfish special with summer panzanella was done perfectly, as was the pepper crusted tuna. The wasabi was the real deal!

    We had reservations and were seated promptly. From the bar we had the Greyhound. A mix of Deep Eddy Red Ruby, Grapefruit juice & soda. It was refreshing & delicious. I ordered the Caesar Salad topped with grilled shrimp. The shrimp were small, dry and way over-salted & seasoned. A big disappointment for me. The salad was a pleasant size and was topped with shaved cheese, crunchy croutons & two anchovies. The salad was very good. My husband ordered the Swordfish off the regular menu and said it was very good, although a pretty small piece of fish. For dessert we split an Ice Cream cookie Sandwich…a scoop of vanilla between two warm cookies which was delicious and for me the highlight of the meal. Our server was attentive & did a good job making sure we had everything we needed. But, when our bill came, my husband had been charged for the Special Swordfish which was $9 more than the regular menu. We were spoiled by other restaurants in Portland. When we are paying top dollar for a meal, everything should be excellent. The quality & seasoning of the shrimp and the fish portion size both fell short here.

    I am always intrigued by people who can pair seemingly conflicting foods together to make a unique flavor. Our experience for a special birthday celebration was exactly that - if you’re in Portland, ME, hit this restaurant and get the Baked Haddock & Crab. 3/4 of the people ordered it in our dinner party and all 3 of us cleaned the plate completely. Just wow. I never thought I’d like blueberry and haddock (let alone anything from the ocean), but, oh man, you don’t know what you don’t know. 5/5 would recommend. Also, a note that I came here another time and indulged in the duck confit. That was also an amazing dish for those reading this who may not eat seafood. Duck can be dubious because of a gamey taste that it sometimes has - absolutely NOT the case here. It was super tender and delicious. This place is definitely worth the visit.

    Delicious food. I'm vegan and had the vegan risotto which was excellent. We shared the bruschetta which was very tasty and my partner had the halibut and crab entree which she really enjoyed. The desserts too were very enjoyable and it was great for me to enjoy and the best blueberry sorbet I have ever had.

    Very enjoyable dinner - food was creative and delicious. The vibe was casual, perhaps a bit too much - when we were sat at the table, both water glasses and silverware were spotted and smeared. But the wait staff took care of it right away and the rest of the meal was great.

    Visiting Portland for a concert, read all the reviews and felt lucky to get an early reservation. Dinner was OK, but not up to all the rave reviews. Signature dish was just fair. Not much lobster, and super creamy, with cold middle of the ravioli…just not as good as it appears. It’s good, but not”oh my god you have to taste this” good. Mussels were excellent, tuna was V good. I would go again, but not order the same things. Good vibe being close to the window and watching the night get busier.
