    Really, everything was perfect. We could not fault a thing. Cocktails, wine, each course, and delightful people. Such a pleasure to go there, and so lucky to have this in Cincinnati. Thank you Boca.

    My girlfriends and I ,instead of buying presents, go out every year for a really great dinner for Christmas. This restaurant really hits all the buttons. From melt in your mouth steak, fresh sushi and succulent lobster tails. Wait staff was excellent. Great vibe. Would definitely recommend this iconic restaurant.

    We met friends for a Holiday lunch and it was fabulous! The service was on spot and our server Ricolette was perfect. She was attentive and spaced our lunch out perfectly. The eggplant is one of our favorites and today was no different. The Davidson burger, tuna salad, scallops, and steak and frites were amazing as always. I highly recommend The Davidson for lunch or dinner!!

    We had a delightful and delicious meal celebrating my friend who had just narrowly escaped a devastating house fire. Our server was lovely, and it was our host Allison that made the night even more special with her care and conversation. She was there to support her staff and made us feel valued and cared for every step of the way. Thank you, Nada!!
