    Great dining experience -- creative dishes that mix French, Mexican and Italian; wonderful presentation; and a comfortable, warm and welcoming atmosphere. I especially appreciate a small yet thoughtful menu. Enjoyed sitting at the bar and talking with our fantastic bartender and serving Brian. Looking forward to going back.

    Being from out of town, I only know that Portland has a reputation as a great food place. This was our first dining experience on an extended visit, and it may be pretty hard to top. Cocktail I started with was great, as was the beef carpaccio started we shared. My duck was perfect, and the risotto it sat on was really interesting and a great accompaniment. My wife's haddock looked amazing (I believe she confirmed that it was). Since we were pretty much the only diners there in that half of the restaurant (away from the bar), it was nice and quiet; eventually another small group arrived (it was a Monday night). The servers were helpful, attentive without being obtrusive, and friendly. Great neighborhood spot; I'd love to have a place like David's near me. I'll definitely be back before our stay in the area is over.
