As usual, they exceeded our expectations. There was a gnocchi addition to the menu that was light but filling. The service was friendly and timely.

I will be thinking about that leche de tigre in the scallop ceviche for months. Every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully plated. Our only feedback was that we would have loved a little more explanation of each dish when it was served (but we also could’ve just asked for that). We are soooo happy we popped in for dinner. Thank you!

David's 388 is like being in a local favorite upscale pub, where all of your friends are close together, everyone's talking, and you're having the time of your life while being served amazing food. If you don't go in with friends, you leave having made new ones. I highly recommend sitting at the chef's dining bar!
