- SSarahVIPCincinnati / Dayton •10 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI celebrated my anniversary here, and it was fantastic. They surprised us with a sweet anniversary card, and our waiter was attentive, funny, and gave great recommendations. The food was incredible. We got focaccia and burrata to start, ribeye and filet mignon for mains, with phenomenal Brussels sprouts. The house-made caramel gelato was the perfect ending!More infoLosantiPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Over the Rhine•4.8

- TTom and CelesteCincinnati / Dayton •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoWe had lunch reservations for our 47th anniversary. We were immediately seated on arrival, and promptly greeted by our server Mark. He was happy to be part of our celebration, and shared his favorite recommendations on the menu. So many choices! We had spaghetti with Sunday Sauce, butternut squash ravioli, veal cutlets, salad wedge, freshly baked bread, and of course, wine. Everything was delicious. Thanks for making our anniversary a special day! We will definitely be back. T & C LaneMore infoPepp & DoloresPrice: Moderate• Italian• Over the Rhine•4.9
- GGordonCincinnati / Dayton •21 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe 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!!More infoThe DavidsonPrice: Expensive• American• Central Business District•4.6
- TThomasLas Vegas •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoWe went to lunch to celebrate my wife’s birthday and were immediately impressed by our server, Chrissy, and her knowledge of the menu and wine pairings. The ambiance was intimate and soft at the beginning, but between the house music and the increasing number of patrons, it became quite loud. Still, the food and attention to detail were the stars of the show. The eggplant parmigiana, tagliatelle al prosciutto, and the Italian Stallion cocktail were among the best of the afternoon. To finish, a complimentary donut served with a delicate salted caramel sauce brought the birthday celebration to a special level. We highly recommend and we will return for another great experience!More infoSottoPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Central Business District•4.9
