- GGregGreater Boston •4 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoParty of two we each got the 4-course meal option with a seafood focus + a bottle of Cakebread chardonnay + bottle of still water + 20% tip = $442. The food was phenomenal and properly portioned so you can finish all 4 courses and a couple glasses of wine. Skip lunch just to make sure. The Halibut main dish was cooked to perfection. The ambience is perfectly dimly lit, modern rustic, with a low background level of trip hop/ lounge libations. Memorable for sure...More infoEarth at Hidden PondPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Kennebunkport•4.8
- CChristinaVIPNew York City •14 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe dined again at Davids last night. We like sitting at the counter where you're able to watch all the action in the kitchen and see the meals as they get picked up by the servers. Husband loves the open faced lobster ravioli, nice and light creamy sauce. I had the Haddock special with the lemon bure blanc (sp?) sauce w/capers. It was really good. We will return!More infoDavid's RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Portland•4.7
- HHeatherGreater Boston •1 review5.0Dined on Dec 14, 2024David'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!More infoDavid's 388Price: Expensive• Bistro• South Portland•4.8
