   Every time we go we have even more delicious food. Can’t go wrong with any menu item! My boyfriend said it may have been the best birthday dinner of his life!

   Overall a very disappointing experience. The pork chop was extremely raw / undercooked. The server was too busy, we had multiple people waiting on the table. There was one bite out of the pork chop when someone quickly came by and grabbed our plates without even acknowledging the pork chop was still 99% in tact. Most people should recognize and acknowledge that. I mentioned it to a manager that came by and they didn’t seem to concerned about it. Kind of ironic that our first experience here close to when they opened wasn’t great. Against my better judgment we tried yet again however to be reminded of the poor experience. The perception is this is a higher upscale restaurant however this hasn’t been our experience.

   Hello Shane, Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. I am sorry that your experience didn’t reflect the hospitality and care we aim to provide to every guest. The pork chop, the rushed service, and the lack of acknowledgment aren’t just missteps, they are missed opportunities to make you feel valued and taken care of. That’s not the standard we hold ourselves to. I am especially sorry this was your second visit with similar results. I would be grateful for the chance to make this right. Please reach out to me directly so we can personally invite you back and ensure your next experience is one that reflects our true intentions. Warm Regards, Bradford Conroy General Manager

   First time diners at Davidson. Went for my daughters birthday. Main complaint, couldn't hear the waitress or other two people I was with. I was miserable. Value is not godd, $19 for cheese, burnt bread and apple slices is crazy. Waitress asked if we were celebrating anything and I said yes, my daughter's birthday. She did NOT offer any free drink or dessert.. Not sure if Davidson offers anything, but then why did she ask. Will not be back to this restaurant.

   One of the best meals I had while in Cincinnati. The fondue and the chicken were standout dishes. Service was great!
