David Burke Kitchen

David Burke Kitchen is a modern, classy restaurant in SoHo. They have quality food, with unique ingredient combinations, combined with an artistic decor. They have a large outdoor rooftop garden full of trees and plants. The dining room is very classy, but on a nice night it was hard to resist a seat outdoors. The only downside is that it is in a high traffic area right near the Holland Tunnel.

Dress

The garden was casual.

Cost

Appetizers are around $15 and entrees are around $30.

Service

The service was a bit slow when we visited. The garden was also more casual, with artistic picnic cutlery. This made it difficult to eat the pork chop. They really should have brought out a good steak knife for the pork chop.

Items Ordered

Bacon Wrapped Dates and Grilled Vegetable Terrine

Bacon Wrapped Dates and Grilled Vegetable Terrine

The Bacon Wrapped Dates were amazing! They were sweet and salty and the grape added a bit of sour too. It was a surprising combination that I haven't had before.

The Grilled Vegetable Terrine was very fresh tasting. It was served cold with a bit of a citrus and olive oil taste. It was a great summery dish.

Pork Chop

Pork Chop

The pork chop had just a touch of sauce under it, along with lots of chunks of mango. It was a good combination, but could have benefited from a bit more flavor. The onion rings were fried with a light crispy crust. I didn't notice the cumin in the bacon.

Grilled Branzino

Grilled Branzino

I don't normally like fish, but this was a well flavored dish. The Branzino had a nice taste to it from the glaze. There was a nice tasting quinoa mixed with carrots under the fish.

Triple Berry Trifle

Triple Berry Trifle

The trifle was served in a little narrow glass. It was hard to scoop out of with the little picnic spoons we had available. The sponge cake was dense but moist, and the whipped cream was great. There was a nice selection of fresh blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries layered in between the sponge cake.
