This year we have made it a point to try more restaurants downtown. This place is Heaven. Absolutely the best restaurant we have experienced in a long time: upscale casual vibe, strong flavorful drinks (try the Distrito Federal!), and the food... lord... the Moroccan Eggplant served tableside is sultry, sweet, smooth and savory. We also enjoyed the Coquilles appetizer with perfectly cooked scallops and 1 bite of the Davidson burger raised the bar for all of the local competition. Shout-out to our wonderful server, Alexis, and the roaming Manager DJ for the warm welcome. Everything was perfect.

Far and away the best dining experience we've had in a long time in downtown Cincinnati. The eggplant is highly recommended, the scallops appetizer was exquisite, and the bourbon barrel tequila cocktail was perfection.

It was my birthday and even though the restaurant doesn’t offer desserts, they got me icecream!! ??❤️❤️ So grateful especially for the card they gave me. My server was Alyssa, and she was so friendly and kind!! Definitely made the experience so much better!! (Forgive me if I spelt her name wrong) ?
Food was pretty good, I enjoyed the chicken but I felt the bread given was too little especially compared to the ratio of the butter given. But overall nice!

I had heard of this location before and I went in to check out. I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the plants. The bar is beautiful. Elite waited on me from the bar. She did a wonderful job and made me feel welcome. The manager comes around and checks on guests. The host are on top their game as well. Anway, my food was delicious! I got the roasted tomato cannelloni. It was simple, really ingredients. If you get a chance, go check this place out.

Amazing food! The yellowfin crudo was so delicious and the mushroom soup was great. Excellent wine list (Chablis and Chateau du Puy!), and a great location. Our server (Kristen) was great and really knew the wine list all around (she made some excellent recs, try the Chablis!). Had the Davidson burger which was 10/10 (that sauce!) & the Veal Burger which was 9/10. I hope they start offering dessert (great spot for a crème brûlée, in my humble opinion) ?.
We celebrated our anniversary at The Davidson. It was our first time dining there and we were blown away by the service (greeted with "Happy Anniversary" and then got a card signed by the entire staff)...and that was just the start. Mason was our server and she gave us great recommendations. The appetizer was really good and the homemade pasta entree was fantastic. But the scallops were the best we've had (perfectly seared and delicious). This was a wonderful dining experience from start to end and we're already planning another visit to The Davidson!

Disappointing experience. We had dinner here on 9/28. Friday night we had dinner at Pepp & Delores (fantastic!), Saturday lunch we were at Bakersfield (delicious) and Saturday night we had dinner with friends at The Davidson. I had the pork chop and it was well done. It was recommended and ordered medium. A few minutes after being delivered the server stopped by to ask about the temp and I told him it was over done. He asked if I wanted another made and I declined. Here’s why this is a 2 star…no manager stopped by to apologize or ask if anything could be done. It’s restaurant 101 and I expect more from Thunderdome.
