We've been going to DB Tavern for years and always had an excellent time. Last year, we tried the Porterhouse Steak for 2 and it was excellent. This past weekend we ordered it again, medium rare. Unfortunately, it was on the dry side with no discernable juices on the slices of meat, as was the case last year. For $165, it needs to be perfect. The onion rings and 2 sides were very good, as were the cocktails. They have an excellent Happy Hour. The service was also very friendly and attentive.

First time there for happy hour. Nice dining experience. On our way to a theatre and wanted a quick bite. We were pleasantly surprised at how good the food and setting was. My wife had the seafood salad and hasn't stopped raving about it. My fish and chips were terrific. We will return and try out the main dining room. Nice job all around.

Upstairs dining room was relatively quiet, but it is late August in NYC. The bar downstairs was hopping at 6:00. Food was excellent as was the service. Extended Restaurant Week menu offered a good bargain, although dinner for 2 with a tip was still $250. 3 glasses of wine and a cocktail will do that.

The space is vey good. The menu and food quality are always high. The restaurant week menu is a very good value.

Server in the bar area seemed rushed and stressed and the place was less than 1/3 full. Did the prefix menu. Ordered Clams Casino and sent them back. Could not even finish eating one of them. All stuffing and greasy. changed my order to Caesar salad and sliced steak. Chimichurri steak was tough. Caesar salad needed more dressing. The place was incredibly dark! I heard another Table complaining as well. I will not be returning, unfortunately. I had high hopes!

Ordered from NY restaurant week menu. Watermelon and burrata salad had 3 tiny 1/2 inch cubes of watermelon. Why call it a watermelon salad? My hangar steak was so fatty ir was difficult with cut with a steak knife. 2 bites and I was done. Waiter asked me about steak and I shared the above. His comment “Well other people like it.”. Maybe they got a decent cut of meat. Hostess asked and I shared same concern. Her reaction was to say “oh” and walk away.
We went for Restaurant Week lunch special. Everything was acceptable: I had tuna tartare and mushroom ravioli, she had lobster dumplings and flank steak. We had plenty of food but nothing was memorable.

We have a very nice brunch at this David Burke restaurant. The menu was surprisingly extensive for the time of day - everything was done well. Prices were not as bad as we expected- keep an eye out for the many specials they run. The fixed price menu is very interesting.
