We always love, love, LOVE the Brussels sprout appetizer and this was the best batch yet!! We also tried the breakfast menu today and it was fabulous. Thank you for saving the table I requested. The staff is always fun and friendly. Nada makes a special day out even more special.

We ate at The Davidson for Valentine’s Day dinner and had an amazing experience! The staff was so kind and handed out roses to all the tables which was such a sweet touch. Every dish we had was incredible, especially the arancini and the vodka rigatoni. The bread and butters were also delicious and my husband loved his scallop dish! The only thing we were slightly bummed about was being seated in the heated patio area as the inside is so beautifully designed, but it was still a lovely meal and warm! Can’t wait to go back again!

We have not been here for a number of years. Previously, the portions were small and the prices were too high for what you got. However, last night was fantastic. All four of us had HERB CRUSTED HALIBUT grilled grits, carrot beurre blanc, leek. We had sides of SMASHED YUKON GOLD POTATOES fried rosemary and parmesan and ROASTED CAULIFLOWER miso brown butter, urfa biber, parmesan. The sides were huge and were shared by all four of us. The portions were great and the flavors were amazing. For dessert we had the BASQUE BURNT CHEESECAKE (crustless), which was the best that I have had out at a restaurant. What a change! We will be back. I recommend everyone try this place again!

Walked in, I was greeted in a very professional manner by a nice man. I was then walked to a table with my date, and then served water by a server. After this a separate server was explaining the menu to us, and we were told the most popular items. After given some time we put our order in and received our appetizer in a very timely manner. Shortly after finishing that, we then got our entrees, both delicious and extremely fresh. I might even say that in my 18 years of living this is the best meal I’ve ever had in my life, and I’m not even joking. We were then given a box (food was boxed for us and I didn’t even realize because the server we had was so quick and efficient). After this we got donuts and affogato and again, I was pleased to discover the dessert was just as good as the meal. 10/10 experience, setting was amazing, food was delicious, service was exemplary. Will definitely be back.

Food and service was outstanding. The bright light atmosphere was not as relaxing. The noise level was louder than I expected. In comparison to our favorite celebration dinner venues I’d have to say I prefer those over Jeff Ruby. Those venues are Capital Grill and Jags.
