Birthday Party

I haven't even gotten my food yet and Bell is making me leave a 5 star review. Our 6 top tonight for my partner's pre Hamilton birthday dinner was perfect. Not only knowledgeable, but the silent service and hospitality with this gal was amazing. Thank you for a great night and look forward to returning. 11/10 highly recommend her taking care of you on your next visit.

Birthday Party

Fabulous restaurant in the heart of downtown Cincinnati. Everything was perfect from the moment we sat down. We had cosmos and old fashioneds which were recommended by our server, both were excellent. The old fashioned is served with an etched ice cube which elevated the experience. We started with the bread and three butters as well as the burrata. The butters were excellent, with the shallot butter being the tables favorite. The burrata was served atop a sweet jam that paired perfectly with the acidity of the balsamic vinegar. For entrees, we had the Porkchop, chicken, Steak frites, and the burger. The star of the table was the Porkchop. It was served with a delicious glaze and came on a bed of veggies. The chicken dish was also excellent. Cooked to perfection and served with an assortment of olives and potatoes. It was a bit salty from the sauce and olives but it was good. The steak was also cooked perfectly but the steak had a bit too much pepper to be paired with an au poivre sauce. Still an excellent dish. The burger was prepared well and came with excellent toppings. We were celebrating a birthday so our server brought out a delicious chocolate dessert that was the perfect texture and flavor. The service here was top notch. Our server, Morgan, was knowledgeable and attentive. She was even sharing with us places to check out since we’re looking to move to the area. The Davidson is a must try in Cincinnati if you’re looking for great food, excellent service, and an energetic ambiance.

Birthday Party

I had a wonderful time at The Davidson tonight. A friend took me to celebrate my birthday, and no detail was lost upon the staff. All were welcoming and well-wishing. Mason was our server, and she was fabulous. She recommended delicious items and was on point with the coursing of our meal. I felt like the belle of the ball and can’t wait to return
