David's 388
Type A Diversions has reviewed David’s 388.
“David’s 388 is a comfortable neighborhood restaurant and gathering spot . . . While the young Chef Bryne’s artistically presented cuisine demonstrates more flair than refined culinary skill, overall we enjoyed our evening at David’s 388, and would likely return when in the area again.”
