The Davidson

Kia and the rest of the staff were AMAZING! They were the sweetest and made sure I was well taken care of. Plus all the food they recommended was fantastic. The moscato was INSANE!

New Favorite!

Great spot with tasty food. Highly recommend the patio which is covered and feels like it’s inside but you get the ambiance of the courtyard across the road. Food was really good and reasonably priced for the experience.

Best bang for your buck! I would pay double for the steak I just eat.

My friend and I had dinner on Saturday, August 8, 2026 before the Tori Amos concert at the Taft Theater. Neither of us was super familiar with downtown Cincinatti and the Fountain Square area but the location and menu looked great online. We were absolutely right in choosing your restaurant. First, the hosts were charming, then we had Kia for our server. She was excellent. Every choice she offered was amazing, including her suggestion for the tableside Moroccan Roasted Eggplant. I am not a huge fan of eggplant but my friend really wanted to try it so try we did! Absolutely incredible! Everything from the cocktails we ordered to the dessert were fantastic. I dream of the Mushroom bisque. How does your chef keep the croutons so crisp while also seemingly dipped in sherry? The Scallops Grenobloise were light on lemon and butter which allowed the scallops to shine through. The haricots verts were done to perfection. Crisp but not to done. Dessert was the vanilla Pot de creme and wonderful, including that great brittle! All in all, for two ladies out for a theater night, you made our weekend! Thank you again for such great service.

Excellent food and drinks! Great staff.

This is our first time visiting Cincinnati, The Davidson restaurant was an excellent choice. Our waiter, Ryan, was very attentive and manager Garrett was extremely welcoming. I saved the best for last, Chef Jose was over the top welcoming and made us the best eggplant and great halibut. Again, thank you to everyone including Ella Quinn who also serviced our table.

What a wonderful experience! Our waiter, Ryan, was personable and very accommodating. Chef Jose also spent time with us. The food was delicious and the entire staff friendly.

In Cincinnati for the weekend and asked recommendations for great food and I was not lead in the wrong direction ! It was fairly busy and we didn’t have a reservation but still got sat in a decent time. The food was immaculate. The arancini and tuna tartare were so nicely plated I almost didn’t want to eat them. Our server (Keira) was super patient with my friends and I, we haven’t been here before so we asked a million questions and she gave helpful answers that helped us find what best suited us. We had an amazing night here with delicious cocktails , the only bad thing was that the gnats came in through the open window and we spent all evening fighting them off. Other than that, the next time I visit cincy, I will visit here !
