We come back to David’s every time we visit Portland. The food is fresh and locally sourced. The open scratch kitchen is a pleasure to watch, the chefs all seem to work cohesively together and it reflects in the consistency of the dishes! Do yourself a favor if you’re in a group of 4 or less book the kitchen bar seats so you can watch the culinary magic! Yummmm.

Best meal I’ve had in Portland. Our server was knowledgeable and eager to explain as well as serve. She obviously liked working there which says a lot about a restaurant. The choices were vast, the combination of sauces and ingredients were balanced. The tuna was out of this world, the pasta was perfection and the lamb melted in our mouths. It is so nice when everything is perfect even down to the hostess who loaned me readers. Make a reservation, go and enjoy! Cim, cin
