   I saw duck meatballs and meatloaf on the Maine Restaurant Week menu, and wanted to try it, curious how David’s will flavor one of my favorite foods, meatloaf! He did not disappoint in flavor and presentation! The dessert of the day was blueberry sorbet, scraped every bit of it off the bowl. My son had always loved David’s clam chowder…what he creates with flavors delights all the senses.

   Joined friends and the four of us tried out this restaurant during Restaurant Week. None of us had been previously, but we were all in agreement we look forward to attending again. With tax, tip and a drink price was around $75pp. Not inexpensive by any means, but for the food, ambiance, smells, conviviality and overall warm comfortable space, we felt it was well worthwhile. The food was delicious and the portions were just right. I don't think I left a single thing on any plate for the 3 dishes I had. My wife, who is much (!) more petite, had leftovers from the main course. A 2nd meal for her - yum. The angel food cake dessert was amazing. So much so we asked the chef to come out and take a bow and hear our enthusiasm. If the price is not unreasonable for you, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this restaurant for a date night; or a get together with friends; or for foodies who like to sit at the counter overlooking the kitchen; or those who like to sit and eat at the bar and perhaps meet new friends. Excellent. Highly recommended.

   Always a delicious meal and wonderful menu selection. Service staff are pleasant and well trained. It feels like a neighborhood bistro. We’ve been eating here for years.

   Outstanding service as always. Great drinks. Enjoyed the potstickers and croquettes. Really nice sauce for them. I had the haddock special and was disappointed. Thin piece of haddock buried under way too much bland stuffing. Menu haddock looked better. Other entrees were duck which was cooked perfectly and lamb which was very generous. Nice sides too. Server was fantastic.

   We sat at the chef’s table and got to see all of the food prepared and ask questions. It was wonderful! Service and food were impeccable.
