   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.

   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.

   Food is fair at best. Nothing special except view of Fountain Square.

   Very good food - and service from Zak. Price value is excellent. The restaurant is well appointed with the only downside is the noise level. Highly recommended.

   The outdoor area was lovely except for the. Weeping of the crosswalk signal. The heaters made the area too warm

    Kristen was amazing! She did not miss any details when it comes to menus gave great recommendations and did not disappoint! Great meal for our first night exploring Cincinnati. The scallops were 10/10
