    Love the location and ambiance of Davidson’s. Service and food were a bit uneven. Moroccan Eggplant is very good!

    The food was good, our server was very nice and attentive. The one thing I would recommend is to lower the music in the outside space. At one point there seemed to be two different types of music and it was very loud. We did enjoy sitting outside as we had the Christmas Tree right in front. It was good, most likely would return.

    We had a very nice dinner, great food and cocktails in a really fun atmosphere. There were some blips in the service, but they took accountability for the mishaps and they were minor in the grand scheme. We definitely recommend and will be back.

    This is a very nice bistro in a great location on Cincinnati's Fountain Square. Don't miss the eggplant appetizer...might just be the best app in town!
