    As usual - truly excellent food complemented by personal and superb service and a unique and comfortable ambience. Tonight we were fortunate to get a couple seats at the bar which is always a special experience. This truly fine restaurant/bistro set a high standard when founded several years ago, and has maintained its exceptional quality. Our favorite.

    Our son asked to go to David's for his birthday dinner in June. We had never been and were very pleasantly surprised. We have since returned three additional times, including last night. Each time the food and the service have been amazing. My husband and I enjoy sharing our meals and we have always been graciously accommodated by the servers. We are trying to experience more restaurants in Portland, but we always seem to end up back at David's.
