Been here a few times now. First time the service was reasonable, for the price paid. But the second time it was well below average. They had the silver service where staff come and pour your tea and top up your wine. Unfortunately on a Wednesday night, they were adamant about taking the tea and wine from the table, but not so demanding on actually making the effort to top it up! This was pretty dissapointing.
Chinese lovers will be glad to know that there’s plenty of dishes on offer, great for sharing (geez a lazy Suzan on the table would be good!) and the duck crepes for entree are unbelievably good. Other dishes are decent but not stand out. David’s makes a great dinner venue for 4-6 people, particularly given that it’s so close to the Jam Factory.
We were also treated to an Arundel Estate Shiraz from Sunbury which I thank them for, because it was Shiraz find of the century. Wine list overall ain’t so bad, nor is the decorum. Biggest problem here is that service. It just plain sucked.
This place gets 3 out of 5. Give it a miss unless you’re in the area.
