We ordered the crab linguine and the steak sandwich, and both were delicious. The cocktails were fresh, flavorful, and definitely boozy! I'd come back for those alone. The space is cozy but roomy enough for both date night and larger groups. It's also connected to a hotel, which was news to me, and parking was easy. Definitely a place worth checking out!

Was hopeful about this spot given its ambiance and convenient location right near the Obama…read morePresidential Center, but overall, it fell pretty flat on value and execution. The menu is quite overpriced for what you actually get - the portion sizes are relatively tiny, and left me hungry after finishing. The bangers and mash, while having a good flavor, could have really used something crunchy, like warm crusty bread, crackers, or breadsticks, to contrast with the wateriness of the sauce. The service was really nice and attentive however. Between the light portions, steep check, and lack of dish balance though, the experience just didn't deliver.

VERY different environment on a Friday night than what I remember. The men were my age and younger, which to me was normal since they've always catered to a mature crowd. The women were MUCH younger though. The music was good, being a mixture of old school hip hop, r&b, house, and reggae, and the drinks are still on point. I probably won't be back because this crowd was a little too young for me, but I recommend it to Gen Z and beyond.

I only took photos of my plate however everything look appetizing and delicious. The falafel was good, however even better with the sauce on the bottom. We also had hummus with fried chickpeas on top...nice crunch. The salad was delightful (maybe a touch more dressing) loved the pop of pomegranate. I ordered the Salmon (though some of my broccoli was a bit over charred) was delicious. For dessert we all had the crème brûlée. All in all, everything was executed perfectly, appealing to the eyes, very flavorful and scrumptious. We were so impressed we asked to talk with the chef!

Good food, great desserts, wonderful service, and modern, rather charmless ambiance…read more I have had the occasion to visit this restaurant a few times for post-conference dinners and have also dined here both solo and with friends. The fried halloumi and the goat cheese flatbread are my favourite items on the menu, and there are a plethora of vegetarian options to choose from. The desserts in particular deserve a shoutout. Service is always very warm and I always feel well looked after. The ambiance is super "classy", but the overall effect is a bit charmless. I will return to Bar David, just because I am in the neighbourhood and it is convenient for work-related purposes, but would likely not return in a hurry if I move. If you are already in the neighbourhood or are visiting the university, Bar David is a great option, and you are sure to enjoy the food and service.

We've been hosting monthly events here for the past two years for a large crowd. I'm not sure when…read morethe new owner/management took over, but he's always been accommodating. It's a large beautiful (I would like to say historic) venue that has a large dance floor, plenty of seating, huge bar, stage where Live Music or DJ can perform, private dressing room with a small bathroom, and a full-size commercial kitchen to rent if you want to provide food or bring in a caterer. There is a parking lot in the back, as well as across the street, and street parking. The owner has security patrolling the parking lots the entire night. Our guests have never had a problem. They only provide rental space, bartenders, and a few servers/waitresses, you have to provide/hire your own vendors (caterers, DJ, decorations, etc.). In being an Event Planner for the past 30+ years from Corporate to Community events, as with all Service-based businesses, you're going to always have a rotating door when it comes to customer service. It's part of the game. It's hard to find good help these days. My personal experience, as well as my experience in attending other events hosted there, has always been great. I know other event promoters who have also been hosting their events here for awhile, so if it was that bad, we wouldn't still be here. The owner does an excellent job in doing his best to stay on top of it. So when you read other poor reviews, create your own opinion based on your own experience like we did. Otherwise you just might miss out on a GREAT experience!

A man got cussed out by a woman because he voiced his opinion about politics, which showed how ignorant she was. I ordered a drink at the bar and noticed a huge pan of wings sitting there and many people eating them. I guess it wasn't offered to me because I was a newcomer. The drinks are expensive. I didn't feel very safe in the establishment. The barmaid did not make me feel comfortable and I'm sure she realized I was a newbie. If I should ever return she'll remember the one who doesn't tip!
