The original 110-seat restaurant, David Burke Townhouse (formerly davidburke & donatella) has been given a facelift.  The new space maintains an elegant, whimsical feel, but a larger bar with a striking salt wall, new fabrics, carpet and wall coverings throughout the space will demonstrate a truer reflection of Burke’s artistic vision. To ensure this, he designed each element of the renovations personally and was highly involved in the aesthetic changes. The bar, the first of a series of three jewel box rooms, is being expanded to allow for more comfort and a better flow of traffic. Renovations also include adding booths, a backlit salt wall and a playful “dungeon door,” which resembles a classic castle door with skeleton keys next to it.  The sleek white gloss of the bar gives way to two dining rooms where a feeling of warmth and understated glamour are emphasized with an array of hand-blown glass balloons and a stunning mahogany wine display that can hold up to 304 bottles. Fellow chef and friend, Michael Ayoub, has again created hand-blown signature glass designs for another one of Chef Burke’s restaurants. 

Not one to lose his humor, David Burke's Townhouse has made indirect, artistic reference to the restaurant game with a collection of drawings from a fantastical card deck called The Key to the Kingdom created by Tony Meeuwissen. Specially commissioned lithographs from this transformational deck line the walls and grace the menus.
