    My husband and I took our close friend to The Mustard Seed to celebrate a “momentous” birthday. We appreciated that we were seated immediately although we arrived 1/2 hour early. The servers were prompt, helpful, courteous, even those who were in training. We shared the pleasant crab cake appetizer although the sauce added little. The Asian pear salad was delicious with varied textures and flavors. Our friend fully enjoyed the Caesar salad. The crusted rack of lamb and side fresh vegetables was perfectly cooked, but the sauce detracted. My husband stated that his grilled rib eye steak was cooked far more than the very rare he had requested. For dessert, we shared an order of Profiteroles with vanilla ice cream covered in chocolate ganache and sliced almonds, which was delicious and so festive delivered with a lit candle to recognize the celebration!

    We have eaten there on several occasions. Food is always good, this time was no exception. It did seem that the prices were significantly up. Dinner for 2 was about 100/person. Granted we had an appetizer, salad, entrée , glass of wine, and dessert, but it did seem expensive. Next time I'll limit the ordering to just the entrée and glass of wine. I had the duck and my wife the pork loin. Both were very good.

    Great little spot in Davis for a date night or girls night out Food was amazing. The location is cute and cozy but not super fancy and the outside chairs are not very comfortable but overall the ambiance is nice.

    Kim was our waiter and provide excellent recommendations. We had the salmon for wife and Scallops for myself - both entrees served with black rice, brussels sprout with chili sauce under the entrees was perfect to bring out the flavor of the entire dish. The salmon was melt in your mouth delicious. Excellent soups and pear salad was fresh. Great experience for our anniversary dinner. Recommend for special occasion or to impress. Give extra time to find parking on street.
