Review summary

David's 388 is a delightful neighborhood gem known for its "impeccable service" and "excellent food." Patrons rave about the cozy, welcoming atmosphere and "creative" menu offerings. The chef's table provides a unique dining experience, and "Winter Wednesdays" add a fun twist. Highly recommended for a special night out!

    Outstanding service as always. Great drinks. Enjoyed the potstickers and croquettes. Really nice sauce for them. I had the haddock special and was disappointed. Thin piece of haddock buried under way too much bland stuffing. Menu haddock looked better. Other entrees were duck which was cooked perfectly and lamb which was very generous. Nice sides too. Server was fantastic.

    We sat at the chef’s table and got to see all of the food prepared and ask questions. It was wonderful! Service and food were impeccable.

    Winter Wednesdays is such a great idea! Everything was just perfect. David is a master chef and has trained his staff well. This is a favorite of ours and Winter Wednesdays make it fun too!

    Hint - if you want the dessert on the Wednesday date night menu - you have to order the date night menu!

    Delightful meal, as always, at David’s 388! But this one was especially lovely : we were given one of our fave tables at the window, overlooking the sidewalk and DiPietros… there were string lights overhead and the snow was falling outside. It felt magical. Service was absolutely wonderful- from the host at the door, to our server, to the food runner who brought our meals! So friendly and thoughtful. This is exactly why we love this little neighborhood gem. xo
