Crab cakes were very salty and potatoes had an unusual flavor. Vibe and location are great though.

Enjoyed the meal and so did our kids. The food was delicious and the service was great. The atmosphere is very casual and neighborhood-like which was exactly what we wanted. Great food, but not too fancy for kids. Loved the whole vibe!

Food wasn’t where we needed it to be. Mushroom risotto should have been called cilantro risotto…..

We had thought they had brunch during the week but that was our mistake so we both ordered the crabcake but it was really small and it was very good but we honestly didn’t feel it was worth what we paid for it

David’s Cafe did not honor our reservation and we had to wait for 20 minutes. Then they finally sat us at a table outside and did not take our order or serve us water for 10 minutes. When I finally flagged the host, he severed us water and asked us if we wouldn’t mind moving to another table outside. We said yes and then they completely forgot about us. So we walked out 45 minutes later with no brunch. Will not be returning.

This place is a hidden gem. Food quality on par with the best French brunch in the city but totally reasonable prices in a casual atmosphere. Amazing find!
