Restaurants like this are few and far between. Extraordinary food, extraordinary service, extraordinary atmosphere all in one package. This is fine dining at its zenith. Not only does the owner and executive chef David and crew strive for perfection they have achieved it because they understand what it takes to get total satisfaction from their customers and what it takes to keep them coming back. It really has that WOW!! Factor that must be experienced when you want a meal that really counts. BRAVO David!!!!!

Our server was amazing and my wife's filet oscar was fantastic. The Chilean sea bass was a 5 star fish stick for 58. Wasn't horrible but definitely had better. My lobster tail was perfect. Overall would recommend. Maybe not the sea bass.

This was an exceptionally delicious meal, surpassing any other dining experience I have had, including at fine restaurants in Italy, Portugal, Peru, and elsewhere. Our party sampled a variety of appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Each dish was prepared to perfection, showcasing artistic detail, and served with the same care and passion evident in its preparation. My sincere compliments to the owner/chef and the entire staff for providing such a remarkable culinary experience.

*note* My review is from October 2024. OMG! This is the best kept secret in Northeast Florida. At the time, I wanted to find a great place to celebrate my honey's 40th birthday....and David's did not disappoint! This was our first time here so we had no clue about what to expect. I researched Google reviews and saw that several people enjoyed the food and atmosphere, so I thought that I would give the place a shot. The experience was great from the moment we walked in the door. We were seated in a comfortable area and was provided great service! Our server was attentive to our needs. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. The serving size is fair, however the taste and freshness of the food was amazing. I requested to have birthday cheesecake (my honey's favorite) to be brought to our table soon after we completed our delicious meal. He was so excited and surprised that I requested this for him. They made our night beautiful and it will be an unforgettable 40th birthday. We plan to visit again soon.

Absolutely amazing experience here. Mom and I had the filet mignon, and split the creme brulee. The food was SO good, filet was melt-in-your-mouth amazing. Loved the little extra touches to the meal like the baby macaroons after, and the bread and little hors d'oeuvre. And our server Gina was so lovely!! What a great place, we would absolutely come back.

Words fail to describe how wonderful this restaurant is. I'll try to tell you about our experience, but know it was far better than I can articulate. The unobtrusive red brick building is easy to miss if you don't have a passenger looking out for you. But, once inside it is tastefully designed and brings you into an atmosphere of sophistication. We had a reservation, so we were seated immediately. This was our anniversary, so we were given an intimate table in the back of the dining room, large enough for a party of four. There were plenty of tables available for two diners, but they gave up the possibility of two more plates for our special night--above and beyond! After looking over the drinks menu, we ordered the Old Cuban, an interesting variation of a Mojito that is a soulful twist. The bread service, delivered by Dane, was generous and delicious, too delicious maybe. We ate the Chilean Sea Bass and the Scallops. Both are popular dishes for good reason--they are prepared to perfection as if a personal chef were in your own kitchen. Andreas delivered exemplary service; we never wanted for anything, but never felt like he was hovering. When, not if, you go to David's, the one thing to be aware of is the parking is challenging, but doable.

The bartender, Sebastian, is absolutely incredible! He’s attentive, detail-oriented, and has a great energy that makes you feel instantly at ease. His service truly elevates the entire experience. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough—and whatever you do, make sure to stop by the bar and meet Sebastian. He’s a standout!
