Have been here several times. We had the chicken BLT on sourdough (very good), burger (excellent), and fried chicken & waffles (average at best- waffles were hard/too well done). Mamosa was nice. Ambiance very nice upstairs.

Clearly a rough night. After two other 4 star experiences, dinner tonight unfortunately failed. Even though we had a reservation booked and confirmed for a week, we were brought to an unacceptable table. Our first course and salad were served at the same time, and main course were served cold. It took an inordinate amount of time for dish to be brought back to me warmed. Unfortunately need to ponder if I will return.

The Thanksgiving dinner at David Burke’s this year was not as good compared to prior years. The turkey was dry and not moist and juicy as we had hoped. Surprisingly, the roast turkey was served with a deep fried patty of hash brown potato, similar to what you’d get in a McDonald’s breakfast. This definitely lowered the quality of the dish.

What a fantastic Thanksgiving Day family dinner. The service is absolutely wonderful from the time you walk in the door until you leave they are all focused on making it a special meal. We will be back again soon and is becoming one of my go to restaurants in Manhattan. Cheers to the staff! 🥂
