Hands down the best dinner in the Portland area we have had in years!! Food, service and ambience was incredible!! You have to experience this place!!

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.

We 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!

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.

Very nice for our first Thanksgiving out in a restaurant.
