Our son asked to go to David's for his birthday dinner in June. We had never been and were very pleasantly surprised. We have since returned three additional times, including last night. Each time the food and the service have been amazing. My husband and I enjoy sharing our meals and we have always been graciously accommodated by the servers. We are trying to experience more restaurants in Portland, but we always seem to end up back at David's.

Bird & Co. is a great choice for a restaurant that's away from the crowds of downtown Portland yet close enough to arrive in minutes. The ambiance is casual, friendly, mellow, and easy. The staff is friendly and the food is great. You'll want to do a face plant in the Crispy Brussel Sprouts with wonderful sauce.
