    I have always loved David’s 388 and have been going for years. Tonight I was very disappointed in the main course and appetizer both.

    In comparison with times past, we were a little disappointed. Arancini were a big soggy, not crisp. Potato leek soup was gluey and heavy. Cesar salad was ordinary. We're used to a more positive experience.
