I had a wonderful time at The Davidson tonight. A friend took me to celebrate my birthday, and no detail was lost upon the staff. All were welcoming and well-wishing. Mason was our server, and she was fabulous. She recommended delicious items and was on point with the coursing of our meal. I felt like the belle of the ball and can’t wait to return

Very amazing food. When I came into this restaurant it was a vibe! The staff were very nice, helpful and welcoming. I tried their mushroom soup and it was very delicious, and their pasta was very amazing. I can’t wait to come back to this amazing place. Ten out of ten

We decided to try The Davidson after our waiter at one of our favorite restaurants mentioned that he also worked there. We were very impressed. While the menu is pretty limited, what we had was great (the rigatoni with vodka sauce and the grilled chicken sandwich) and the price fair for the quality. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the music selection was awesome...I found myself singing along quite often. We'll definitely be back.

First time there. Enjoyed it a like what they did with the old Tiffany space. We got a table with last minute reservations- arrived 30 minutes early and still got seated right away.
Luke
I was very disappointed with the food and service. The food took a long time to come out and our waiter was not very attentive. We got the vodka pasta which was a little to al dente for my liking and the Davidson burger was nothing special.
Greg
The eggplant appetizer will bring us back for sure. Portions for entree were small but excellent take on normal foods paired with delicious sauces. Cocktails were excellent which is probably why they have more alcohol selections in lieu of food varieties. Service was great! We were seated at a table for four with our only view being another couple. Bright ambiance and upbeat setting. Prices are fair for the quality!
Nick
Overall very good experience. Everyone was friendly and had pleasant atmosphere. Only item that could've been improved was that food came out slightly cold and was a while after we ordered it. We figured it must've been prepared earlier and left out before serving to us.

We had a small wedding party arrive while we took additional photos at our venue and the Davidson was so incredibly kind and gentle with us. As we arrived, the staff celebrated us in such an amazing and unexpected way. Thank you for making our day incredibly special!

This was our first visit and we were seated next to the bar and was surprised at how lively and fun the atmosphere. Our server Nathan was excellent He was and accommodating as we came at happy hour but hadn't realized that we had to be seated the bar to order the specials. Nathan was so gracious and gave us the happy hour menu . The food was excellent and the house red wine was a pleasant surprise . Better than most reds I've had that are more expensive . The arancini was delicious as was the burger We will be back
My friend and I dined here & had a fabulous experience. The cocktails and mocktails were a great start. We then began the meal with the burrata and eggplant, both of which were the stars of the show. 10/10 would recommend both. Fabulous presentations to start - the eggplant had a table-side preparation that we were thoroughly impressed by. We then indulged in the rigatoni and scallops for our entrees. The rigatoni was very good but be prepared it's a traditional Al dente Italian dish, and I did find the flavor to be less enticing than the starters. The scallops, my friend said, were perfectly prepared, however the sauce was a bit salty for him. Upon my trying the hericot verts I think the “saltiness” he was referencing was potentially coming from an excess of butter and lemon juice? Nevertheless, very impressed and would definitely go again. We also got a side order of the squash and kale which our server was accurate in telling us how delicious it is but it was winter squash, not butternut which we asked about prior to ordering. However, the winter squash had INCREDIBLE flavor. Be warned though there can be some heat in the sauce if you get a big bite of the kale. Still a great addition. The ambiance was very nice as well with warm lighting, music, low noise levels (although we did go on a slower night), and incredible service.

Celebrated with a small group. Very accommodating. My favorite part of the night were the scallops and my gin & tonic! Great fries, drinks, bread and butter. Waitress noticed our celebration and brought me a tasty chocolate dessert to round out the night.

Great ambience and excellent service. Our server, Luke, was lovely. My daughter had just graduated from UC and he brought flutes of prosecco to our table for a toast. Food was delicious-love the mushroom soup!! Felt special enough to match our celebration.
