   Natalie was a fantastic server! Everything was top notch, while still being a casual, relaxed experience. I highly recommend it!

   We had been to the Davidson previously and booked it before a 7:30 PM show. Reservations were at 5:30 and appetizer came very quickly, salads came appropriately and then there was a huge lag before we received our entrées. We had to remind our server we needed our food and needed to get to the show. Our entries didn’t arrive till 6:45 PM, which didn’t leave time for dessert or after dinner drinks or even a second glass of wine with the main course.

   We had a great meal. The eggplant appetizer was very tasty I loved the flavor, it was prepared tableside. We had a pasta and salad entree, and both were good. Attentive service, priced appropriately, I will go again. It is in a great location downtown across from Fountain Square.

   The service was rushed. The strip looked like a filet. The pasta wasn’t cooked the burger didn’t not have any flavor and the scallops had too much lemon. The eggplant appetizers that was pushed was burnt. The staff was grungy and dirty looking. They did not have desserts! Disappointed and would not go back

    We had dinner at The Davidson on the day they opened, and since we eat here often - and enjoy it each time. Their cocktails are beautiful and delicious. One of the things I like best is that it's possible to have a yummy full dinner meal, a sandwich, or appetizer. The salads are generous and fresh. The sandwiches are high quality. It's a fun place to eat, lots of people watching both inside the restaurant, and those walking to and from Fountain Square. The only negative is that the music is usually too loud but if you ask they will often graciously turn down the volume.
