Family birthday dinner was wonderful. I especially enjoyed getting to try part of my wife’s rib steak. Where do you get your beef?

Been here before, past years. Was really good. This time? Not even close. NOT. EVEN. CLOSE. Massive mistakes on a few fronts. And with what mattered most...
Brought my local mother here on her 90th birthday, just the other day, Nov 13/24, driving all the way from Michigan for our visit. And this was to be our main food event...
3 of the 4 of us ordered the $60 tenderloin. All medium rare. My mom was even feeling bad about ordering the tenderloin on price alone...
Well, they came not at all medium-rare. A part close, perhaps, a better part medium, and the greater part medium-well to actually well-done. Each steak was the same. $60 tenderloins!!!!
I was SO infuriated as my mom couldn't even easily cut through her 'tenderloin'. I didn't want to make a scene --- it was my mother's birthday. Would have otherwise made a massive issue over it all at this price point. HUGE. For at WHAT high-end restaurant do you need to order rare to get even close to medium rare?? Wasn't a mistake. They all came this way. This is an inept kitchen. What a clown show.
So...dropping all THAT, we were all full. But my mother, again, there for her 90th, wanted a cheesecake desert.
Came to her all pretty, about an inch and a half wide, inch-tall. And --- my god --- the server AT THE SAME TIME presented them with a freaking coupon for them to come back with and get a discount on a dessert. Like...WTF.
I took immediately quietly stood up and took the waitress aside, and said...hey...we are spending $500 on this meal. The high end steaks sucked versus our orders...and you're gonna charge a single desert for a 90th birthday, and offer them a freaking coupon for when they come back????
$500 MEAL, FOLKS!!!!
I will never, ever return to this rip-off restaurant. This is 'mid-end'. But they will make you pay 'high-end'. To a measureably further degree than I have seen as a world traveler...
I am all about a high quality $500 meal. This was so far from that.
Never again. This ain't close to 'it'.

Disappointing experience at David’s Restaurant regarding food allergy management
On August 23, 2024 our family dined at David’s Restaurant. In preparation, the manager was contacted and their food allergy practices were discussed as one of our family members have severe food allergies. On the day of our reservation, our waitperson seemed unaware of the food allergy status of our group despite that the specific details were communicated upon booking. Once we alerted them of the food allergies again, they addressed our questions and took our order. Unfortunately, after only a few bites of food, our family member began to develop the first signs of an allergic reaction. Shortly thereafter, the waitperson was notified and they said everything was written down that was previously discussed. They left and later returned to say that the kitchen staff was uncertain what may have happened. In the interim, another waitperson inquired whether the individual having the allergic reaction required a take-out box for their barely touched meal. The primary waitperson apologized and suggested that we should try dining again. To our disappointment, there was no indication that any further action was going to be taken. We understand that restaurants cannot 100% guarantee that allergens can be avoided. Yet, when incidents occur, they can take the situation seriously and strive to understand where the shortfalls occurred to ensure a safe dining experience for the next family. For establishments that over sell and under delivery, we suggest that they reassess their food allergy practices as people’s lives are at risk! If there isn’t a sincere interest in safely providing meals to those with life threatening food allergies than it is best not to. In the end, it was business as usual for David’s Restaurant.

Atmosphere depends a lot on your own mood. Two of us eating experienced our privacy and had the occasion to talk to other people in s polite exchange of kindness and laughter.

We celebrated my husband's 80th birthday last Saturday. They accommodated eighteen in our party. We were extremely happy with everything. Erika was so helpful with the planning. Trish was our main server. She was excellent. Our guests were very impressed. Thanks to the chef and his team. The food was delicious. My husband's brother from London On, had never been here before. He said his steak was the best he had ever had. Thank you again for a wonderful evening. Doug and Shirley
