"Arriving more rare than the medium-rare requested, the hangar steak..."

That looks medium rare to me.

That's not the steak I was eating.

Are you sure Davis Street serves Clams? I have been there more than 20 times since they opened and they have never had clams, only mussels..

Junebug,

You are correct. The shellfish I enjoyed at Davis Street was indeed mussels. Apologies. Review has been edited.

Great review. DST is wonderfully refreshing. And the space is fantastic in its cavernousness and grandscaping view of the Old Town scene outside. The lamb burger is DEE-LISH, the after work happy hour scene is just hopping enough. Finally a great bistro...with very high ceilings....Love it!

Uggggggghhh. What a forgettable establishment Davis St. Tavern is. Sure, the space is comfortable and expansive. Sure the food is alright at best. But I am not a wealthy sucker living in the area and eating there sometimes because I don't have anywhere better to eat, and my money is much more wisely spent elsewhere. I mean, if I'm stuck near Chinatown, I'd choose Ping every time. I do not care for imperfection that's charming. I'd rather have a meal in a place where I actually can celebrate the fact I live in Portland. Thumbs down to Davis St.
