What People Are Saying About David Burke At Bloomingdales
The Editor

The Scene – Designed with sophisticated shoppers and suits in mind, the playful restaurant is divided into two sections: In the Bar for on-point waiter service, and In the Box for speedy takeout and self-seating. Decorating both dining areas is an assortment of fanciful miscellanies--an Elmo-driven go-kart, candy wrappers encased in tabletops, pixilated and variegated patterns, even a collection of jack-in-the-boxes (a self-reflection from the jester chef?). – – The Food – David Burke's signature imagination runs rampant on American favorites.

Wow! Truly a bad experience!

We were shopping at Bloomingdale's on a Tuesday evening and decided to get a bite and a drink at David Burke, never again! We ordered a crab and a chicken sandwich and two of their house special margaritas. The margaritas were ok, but absolutely unadorned and served in food-service style water glasses. The food, well the food took about 40 minutes to arrive at our table, as we watched numerous tables sit down and get their food. The waiter kept on coming by and telling us that it's coming. When it finally arrived it was a bland mess. The crab panini consisted of unseasoned crab mush between badly toasted Wonder-style slices of bread; it was lukewarm. The chicken panini was unmanageable, most of the filling fell out at first bite. We ate quickly and waited for 10 minutes for our check, as we watched numerous Bloomingdale's employees congregate by the entrance and have a loud gossip session. A minute before our bill arrived another waiter brought us yet another set of the two dishes we ordered (they actually looked better than the ones we got), oops! Plus the heavy dust covered copies of David Burke's book did not look too appetizing dangling above our table. Yuck.
- Cons: service, food, location

I love the Crab Panini

David Burke is a busy fast paced hot spot in Bloomingdales, a real New York scene. All the dishes are over the top but the crab is not to be missed also the Asian Shrimp served on a block of salt is a home run, I am so happy to see gourmet food in a casual setting, its a winner!!!!
- Pros: cool setting
- Cons: tight seating

I love Bloomies for doing something new, not your tired old dept store restaurant. I did not care for it the first time I went, but I just went again today. The restaurant was clean as a whistle,not like last time, the host at the door could not be any more charming & the waiter gave us excelent service. the food was so creative except for the dessert the brownie was the worst I ever had & the panna cotta was like water, but dinner made up for the bad dessert, thanks Bloomingdales
- Pros: good apps
- Cons: poor desserts not as consistant with david burke on 61st
