David Catering

Its new and good. Prices are reasonable and there are umbrellas on the ceiling. Eat there. Its yummy and friendly. Welcome to Silverlake David!

Yay! David is finally open and well worth the wait. I have been to several events catered by David and have always been impressed with his inventiveness, and style.
The new restaurant is cool, clean and Silver Lake stylish (not too upscale and not too bohemian). The food is just scrumptious. The best way for me to describe the current breakfast menu is «elegant comfort food.» I had the Breakfast sandwich with eggs, cheese and basil on a delicious brioche (it comes with bacon, but I don’t). It had a side of cottage style potatoes and yummy salsa, plus some fruit garnish. More than I needed, but this little piggy ate everything on the plate. And all at a good price. They tell me the credit card machine is on the way. Good thing. I’ll be eating here a lot.
This is a very welcome addition to the ‘hood.

Tried David in Silver Lake which finally opened a few days ago after several years in the making. We were the only ones dining and they’re not able to take credit cards yet. The prices are comparable to Forage and Food/​Lab but with table service. It feels like they’re just gearing up to go full throttle and the menu is very conservative, at least on the lunch side. There’s a chicken quesadilla, beet salad and a hamburger among other items that feel kind of two weeks ago. I ordered a tuna sandwich with jalapenos. It was decent tuna salad, not too much mayonnaise but barely detectable heat. My friend had a vegetable panini with grilled zucchini, eggplant and what to my mind was a bit too much goat cheese. Both came with an extravagent portion of extremely good french fries. The food was fine and fairly priced but I’d wished for a bit more adventurous menu. The room is more spacious than a lot of similar places so I suspect that even at capacity the noise level won’t offend. The décor isn’t hideous but suggests under-​financed. The service was genial and solicitous and I’m glad there’s a full serve restaurant priced about the same as its order-​at-​the-​counter brethren. I hope the menu gets a bit brasher as this will be a civilized location for a quiet meal.
