Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Davis

My wife and I had a wonderful belated Valentine’s Day dinner at Allora. The Polpo and Mussel starters were magnificent. Her entree of Waygu steak was very tender and flavorful. My scallops were excellent. Our waitress remembered us from previous visits and was friendly and knowledgeable of all the options on the menu. When the bar did not have the whiskey I requested they suggested a replacement that was a perfect substitute. The service , atmosphere and food were impeccable. A memorable experience.

This was our first fine dining experience as a couple and the Valentine’s day menu was perfect! We got to take anything we didn’t eat home, and their champagne was delicious! We had a perfect night, and all of the staff was amazing to us. We’ll definitely be back!

The place is nice and quiet, very small and cozy. The food was really good and I was happy with every dish on the Valentines Day special. It was very pricey and they only serve beer and wine. I will go back for the food though.

We've celebrated many events at Firehouse but this year was the first time we spent our Valentine dinner there. And it was fabulous! We sat down in the basement where one of their wine cellars is located. It was very quiet. Very cozy. The food, as usual, was fantastic! A four course meal and wine was absolutely delicious. Our main server and the rest of the wait staff that took care of us were very accommodating. We've decided that future Valentine dinners too will be celebrated at the Firehouse.

Dinner before a Mondavi Center event. Staff are super nice-professional-accommodating. The food is superb. We had crab cakes-moist, deliciously flavorful; Asian Pear salad; lamb chops (juicy, tender, seasoned to perfection, duck, salmon and scallops. We were a party of 4. We were treated extremely well!
