   Service was outstanding! Went back to The Davidson for their burger and fries before a show. Just as happy with them both as the first time we had them!! We also tried the “Palomino” Mushroom Bisque this time. It was perfection and an exact rendition of the original! You have to give this place a try!! In a perfect location for a pre-show dinner at the Aronoff!

   This was our second visit and I have to say I love this place. The food is great and the service is top notch. We aren’t often in Cincinnati but it’s definitely our go to when we are.

   We had a nice first visit but probably won't be back. The staff were fantastic and super helpful and knowledgeable. One member of our party doesn't consume food cooked with alcohol and the staff helped navigate appropriate choices. The...steak seasoning?...on the yellow fin krudo overpowered the dish, and I found the pesto pasta a bit overly seasoned as well. The music was very loud for the space and seemed like odd choices for what wants to be a trendy downtown spot (The Eagles).

   The service was phenomenal and the ambiance was great. I got the vodka pasta which was delicious, however the pasta was overcooked. We also got the bread and butter trio which was delicious and the burger and fries were very good.

    I am the President of the Cincinnati Numismatic Association and had a reservation at the Davidson on March 14. The staff was extremely accommodating for our group and made sure that we were taken care of in time for our meeting that evening. We sat out on the deck, which has a nice view of Fountain Square. The only downside was the very loud, incessant squacking of the crosswalk signal that pierced our conversation all dinner. It's not the restaurant's fault, just unfortunate. It was a gorgeous evening weather-wise, however a bit windy and there was a hanging plant above our table that blew dirt into our drinks. Other than that, the food was delicious! The wine (the house red) was a good value but mediocre at best. We shared a fabulous chocolate mousse dessert. Overall, a great experience!
