    Prices are very high and portions are very small. I dined with my significant other at Solo for an early dinner. Our service and food were exceptional. We shared a small beet, Gorgonzola and greens salad which was very good. The house bread was good also. I had my favorite dish of linguine with clams in a light broth with tomatoes. It was very good but again a very meager portion. You might see the thread that the food is good but the portions are really small. It’s hard to understand why they could not provide more pasta. My boyfriend with dietary restrictions had the halibut which was a tad overcooked with a few slices of potatoes and a few tomatoes. I did not like the gelato. Wine was fantastic. It’s a fantastic restaurant which is pricey and provides very small portions.

    The food and service were great, but the noise was so loud it was difficult to have a conversation. That said, we’ll go back.

    David'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!
