From start to finish it was fantastic, Chris welcomed us at the door and the staff looked after us throughout or stay. The food was second to none and just melted in our mouths, definitely going again. A* all the way . Thank you
Six in our party and we all thought food was excellent ,lovely evening had by all
Disappointing, we were sat downstairs and the overall feeling of our group was, that they had forgotten about us. The wait time for our bill was over 45 minutes, not acceptable. Will we return, doubtful.
Great atmosphere for our festive Friday get together. Food was absolutely amazing & couldn’t fault the service.
Lovely atmosphere, attentive staff and delicious food, thoroughly enjoyed by our whole party.
Overall the food was lovely however, one of our party was gluten free and she she was a bit disappointed with her turkey trimmings as she recevied no pigs in blankets, stuffing or parsnips (so didn't really feel like a Christmas lunch). The music was a little too loud also especially as the restaurant filled up.
Beautiful Christmas lunch. Service was great with friendly staff. Lovely restaurant.
Fantastic meal and great staff, definately recommend, will be back x
Very good food lovely and staff were excellent even though it was very busy
Excellent food as always, disappointing service, waitress was quite rude.
Best restaurant in Carlisle for us, fabulous food, and great staff.
Lovely food with nice ambience. Highly recommended and great value .
Food was fine, service was ok but we were bitterly cold, it didn’t seem like The heating was on in the restaurant or at best it wasn’t coping, it was a frosty day outside but I did not expect to be freezing on the inside, we had our scarfs on all the time as did other guests, spoiled a nice treat
1st of our 50th anniversary celebrations. Lovely evening. Thank you.

Shown straight to table on arrival. Great service and delicious food - will definitely be back!
Excellent lunch at a surprisingly reasonable price, and very good service.
I have been to David's many times before, over recent years. The first thing I noticed from my previous visits was that we were not asked our name to confirm our booking and told to sit where we wanted. It is nice to be greeted and expected and to be shown a table that has been reserved for you.....the little touches. Initial service was very quick and polite but lacked the 'personal' touch of the past. The food, as always, was beautiful although the tasty soup I had was luke warm. The mains were very nice and hot. Tea, coffee and cheese and biscuits were ordered for after a. Unfortunately we had almost finished our tea and coffee by the time the cheese and biscuits arrived. Two other tables of diners were offered a discount on their bill; one appeared to have no figs in the fig and pear starter....apparently chef had ran out of figs?? And another table waited so long for one of their starters that the other had gone cold and needed to be replaced. Overall it was an enjoyable evening but very much lacked the personal touch that once was. Would really have to think again before returning.
Food was fantastic , atmosphere was as good as the food, service was exceptional, friendly staff and very helpful and efficient

We’ve been dining at David’s for several years now and have always had an excellent meal with excellent service. Chris always has time to answer any questions and have a chat with everyone, which makes you feel very welcome. Highly recommended👏
Wonderful food. Great warm friendly service nothing too much trouble. Good selection of wines. Made my birthday very special.
Three of us had booked dinner for 8pm, but we were almost half an hour early. However, this was no problem at all, we were warmly welcomed and shown to a lovely table in the downstairs room. We then ate 3 courses of some of the best food we've had for a long time (and we eat out A LOT!), all served by charming staff. There was music but it was just in the background and not intrusive. The tempura king prawns were beautifully crispy and had a really good sweet chilli dipping sauce and the pork cheeks were lovely and tender. My partner's fillet of beef was perfectly rare as requested, the venison and duck were both as tender and tasty as you could wish and the puddings were also lovely (I particularly loved my chocolate and Biscoff parfait.) All in all, we really couldn't fault anything and would heartily recommend the restaurant - if we're ever in Carlisle again it will be our first port of call!
Excellent food and service as always in a well presented restaurant
Great atmosphere matched by the quality of the food and dining experience. Only comment was the dress wear of the hosts - perhaps a little too casual? Didn't spoil the experience in any way though
Excellent food and wine at reasonable cost. Friendly efficient member of staff. Isn't that what we want?
A great meal. Excellent service. Worth the money.We will be back.
excellent food good service a bit pricy other wise everything OK
Lovely food ,1st class service would visit again very soon
Fabulous. Been many times one of the best today. Thank you.

Fabulous but did not like being asked if I wanted to tip the girls hence I declined
The food was amzing as always,the service great,I can't fault this place.
Great food best in Carlisle good value lovely host fantastic
Not as good as it has been in the past. Charge extra for vegetables so that’s different from last time. Might not be visiting again.
Excellent food with a good choice, friendly and helpful staff and a great location.
