   Great experience on the patio enjoying Fountain Square and all the livliness of a spring evening. Food was great. Cocktails a bit too expensive. Overall great choice.

   My biggest disappointment is that I booked it a week or two out and asked to be put in a quiet spot. They put us in front of the kitchen with all its chaos and noise. Also, we couldn’t seem to find your advertised valet parking? All else was fabulous, our server Shaylor? (Not sure of the spelling) was fantastic as was the drinks and food.

   Extremely noisy restaurant. The side walls were opened so you could hear all the outside noise….several fire trucks went by with sirens blaring. Other than that the food was excellent and our server Alexis was outstanding!

   The Davidson overall is a nice place with good food and service. The vodka rigatoni was delicious and the scallops were excellent. The ambience is lacking in the sense that the Davidson doesn’t seem to know what it wants to be. The furnishings are clean and tasteful with an art deco style feel. The music did not go with the overall vibe as it was loud and mostly classic to modern rock. As frequent travelers and restaurant-goers, I think the Davidson could be much more if it chose to truly define itself.

   My husband and I ❤️this restaurant. It’s become our go to when in downtown. The food never disappoints. It’s less expensive that Jeff Ruby’s! But again the food is fabulous!

   We dined on a lovely May afternoon and they had the sides of the restaurant open, which changes the ambience (for the better, to me). We had the arancini appetizer and really enjoyed it. Our server made several recommendations and were it not for a gluten intolerant would have loved to order the eggplant with locally sourced sourdough bread. Davidson burger and Brick chicken were big hits. Wished I had chosen the recommended pasta (peas, sausage) as the pesto wasn't quite what I hoped.

   Excellent dining experience on Mother’s Day! Kash took excellent care of us, and the entire staff was so enjoyable and pleasant. The food and drinks were fantastic. Can’t wait to go back!

   Perfect spot for our Mother's Day brunch! Our server, Ray, was a delight and provided excellent menu recommendations. Eggplant and roasted vegetable salad were standouts but we enjoyed each dish.

    I enjoy The Davidson because it's casual, in a superior location, and offers pretty good food at a reasonable price. It's an environment that just about anyone of any age can feel comfortable.
