Best tea service in town. The staff is much younger than traditional tea rooms but are earnest and attentive.

We NEVER go wrong eating at Davis St ft. Chef Mark Holley. Tonight was the "Mardi Gras Experience" and it did not disappoint! The Blackened Redfish & sides were beautifully presented but tasted even better than it looked. My husbands BBQ'd Shrimp and all that came with it, was completely devoured including total sopping of all semblance of gravy. Needless to say, he all but licked the plate clean! (hehe). Chef Holley and his exceptional crew ALWAYS make us feel welcome & special as he personally visits every table to make sure everyone enjoy their experience at Davis St just as we do. We truly appreciated this special dining experience...esp considering the cost was remarkable as well. Can't wait to experience the next 'Super" special Mark!!!

The pasta dish with the crab is worth coming back for. Multiple times. The buttercake was delightful. As a recently converted Old Fashioned liker, I loved this one. Missouri was lovely. I'll definitely be back.

The staff was extremely pro and very courteous. Escargot and carpaccio are a must as well as the mussels! Great wine and cocktail selection from Campari Group. We celebrated Fat Tuesday there and they had a brass band come out. It was a treat! Bonne fete!

Delightful ambience for our birthday lunch, excellent service, delicious food (I had the Ahi Tuna poke bowl and thoroughly enjoyed it; lunch was followed by the mega-souffle, which was wonderful but very pricey). Overall, an excellent experience.
