   Our first visit was wonderful, but this time the attention to detail in service was lacking. It wasn’t very busy, yet our soups came out separately and our entree was not divided.

   It was very busy, but our table was ready. The server was there right away, got our drink and appetizer order in and it was there soon after. The carpaccio was excellent, our entrees were delicious, and the wine a very good value.

   Food was great but we sat for 20 minutes after being seated and not one person from the restaurant acknowledged us. We tried to get workers attention but no one paid attention. I eventually had to tell the manager what happened. He was apologetic and helped us right away but really disappointing for this place. Bread portion size as appetizer was really pathetic for $10. Vodka rigatoni was excellent. Place is very loud with both restaurant noise, street noise, and bands playing on fountain square.

   Great place to eat in the center of downtown. Great chicken sandwich and lovely delicious roasted vegetable salad.

   Food is great, energetic/vibrant locale, but not a great place for conversation, hard to hear the person sitting across from me.

   This was our second time to the Davidson but honestly probably our last unfortunately. Food was just not good this time around. For $150 I’d rather go elsewhere for better food. I will say I really didn’t like my entree and they replaced it for another. So that was really nice. But the steak was so so. My husband ate it, but it wasn’t as good as the first time. All in all, meh. We hardly ever get a babysitter, so we probably won’t be back next chance we do.

   Really wanted to like this place but it was disappointing . Service was extremely slow and food was sub par . I had the brick chicken , chicken was good vegetables cold and very little sauce . Other meals at the table was the vodka rigatoni , pasta was undercooked sauce was good and a cheeseburger ( it was fine ) fries good . Drinks were pretty solid and we had a variety of cocktails . We were celebrating a birthday and picked this spot to do so and overall underwhelmed

    Dined before going to the Aronoff. Food was good but limited menu and overly salty. Very noisy
