Reviews for David's Restaurant in Portland, ME
One of the Best meals I ever had. The clam chowder had a hint of brown sugar with fresh clams and creamy delicious. I had the... Filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly. The blue cheese butter topping really brought out the flavor of the meat and balsamicreduction just brought all the flavors together. Fingerling potatoes and summer veggies made each bite heavenly. I didn't wantto finish. Read more
We had a Great dinner experience at David's the other night. We sat up by the pass overviewing the open kitchen. The team worked... well together and were the perfect amount of interactive with us. All the meals came out looking amazing and the chef told uswhat they were when we questioned. The consensus was: best swordfish we have ever tried, blackened salmon was excellent, thesteak was great, and the haddock with crab was phenomenal! For dessert the ice cream sandwich was impressive and amazing! Thecreme brulee was excellent as well. A few no-proof drinks were a welcomed surprise as two of us don't drink. The cocktails weregreat for the two of us that did drink. Read more
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 orderedthe mussels appetizer and then had the Duck and a Chicken Caesar Salad for dinner. We had no room for dessert, but would haveloved 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 andspirits! Read more
My friends and I arrived at 4 pm on Sunday afternoon exactly when they were supposed to open and they told me they’re... completely booked and if my friends and I want there is possible sit at the bar. Until 5 pm all tables were completely empty,they were having ic on ridiculous low temperature. They restrooms were having trash on the grand, which I might understood if Iwasn’t first customer after opening. They bring us different desserts with just information they don’t have the other oneand putting on the table the replacement. Food was delicious and the restaurant is nice stylish with nice outdoor seating whichI couldn’t use with my friends because they were fully booked( when I was living they seated one table. So I can just say makea reservation and bring winter clothes otherwise you gonna freezing at the bar Read more
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 perfectlymedium rear on a bed of risotto and sautéed greens. The pizza was reminiscent of thin crust NY style pie. Loved it all, we'llbe back. Read more
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. Read more

I had the belevediere for drinkand it was delicious. Read more
October 1, 2022: we eat outdoors, where David's has about half a dozen tables for safe pandemic dining. The tables are on the... street right in front of the monument. It is a pleasant experience even on October 1 it was not cold. Tuna tartare was tastywith a beautiful presentation. Duck breast was a true medium rare, well flavored, although not as crispy skinned as I expected.I still enjoyed it, the sauce was excellent. The chocolate cheesecake was good as well. Note that the bathrooms are bothupstairs and downstairs (steep stairs). The downstairs were more clearly marked, but if you have mobility issues there is onebathroom on the main floor as well.
