Went for lunch and sat at the bar with Elisa. She had the best smile and was so attentive. Pretzel bites were served with really good sauces. Wine selection was great. I had the chicken Caesar wrap and fries and everything was amazing. Elisa was on top of everything and delivered a great time. Will definitely come back!

Had dinner there tonight for the first time.the food was great. But what made the night fabulous was our waitress Brooke. She was so much fun while being professional and attentive the entire time. Because of Brooke we would absolutely go back. Ask for a table In her section. Amazing night!!

I am so happy that I gave this place a try again. Came here a few years back and was not impressed at all. The food was just not good. Came in recently and wow!!!! The food is so good with reasonable prices. Both my husband and I had 2 different fish dishes and it was so full of flavor!!! So happy as I live nearby and now I have a place to dine.

Excellent choice for weekend lunch! I ordered the Fish and Chips - really tasty, perfectly cooked and huge portion. My Cousin also enjoyed her spicy tacos which were also delivered promptly. Our server Brooklyn M was efficient and friendly. We will definitely return on our next Davidson visit.

Our 1st night in the Davidson area. We started with the pretzel bites - they were not dense but more light and salty. My husband loved the shrimp & grits and my salmon with risotto was amazing! My husband also raved about his Manhattan cocktail - best ever. Our waitress, Savannah, provided excellent service and was friendly and attentive. She even gave us recommendations on surrounding towns.

Every meal I've ever had here has been good. Great central location in the middle of Davidson. Friend & I went in last Friday for appetizers & a cocktail before a play. She had prosecco; I had the delightful (& generous!) Pain Killer cocktail pictured. We ordered asparagus & goat cheese grits to share. Both were good, especially the goat cheese grits! In the past, have really enjoyed the salmon with quinoa, salads, burger, & steaks. I'll admit, can be a bit pricey, but it's downtown Davidson?- what do the other reviewers expect when they walk in the door? (IFKYK) Note- The couple next to us had a pair of smoked classic cocktails that looked/smelled amazing (can't remember what they were). They came out in a box ("chest") full of what was presumably smoking wood chips- divine. We will definitely try this next time. Also, these guys own Mandolino's Artisan Pizza across the street. Every pizza and salad I've ever tried there was excellent.

Good spot! We went there a couple months back. The food was all delicious and well seasoned! We loved the spot being right in the middle of Davidson. The food was really good. Loved the corn crab fritters, definitely try those!! It is so fun too that you can do a beer flight. We went on a weeknight, and it was pretty quiet, but I imagine this spot is busy on the weekend.

Parents weekend at Davidson college led us here. Terrific meal for the adults and the students. Cool and intimate room a little off the beaten math in downtown Davidson...but still only minutes to walk from campus. Bar in the middle of the front room provides a nice buzz and, as you might expect, sports on TV. Lovely diverse menu. A few salads and interesting apps; the students had wings, and we had a couple of salads. Wide variety of entrees from sandwiches (the burger got a rave review) to steak to salmon (both who ordered it gave two thumbs up for prep and presentation) and the pork chop (also delicious and well presented). Nice variety of cocktails, beers and wines by the glass. I recommend the black Manhattan. Service was professional, attentive, and responsive...and we're particularly grateful for their ability to accommodate a last minute doubling of our party size. Definitely worth the trip. Not as fancy as a couple of the "usual suspects" in Davidson; not as casual as some of the others. Lovely meal and team.

Strong 4 stars. This was a work lunch. Popped in for a quick bite because it was close by. First time visiting. We were able to get a seat fairly quickly. For me the menu is limited. They have great things just not a lot I am going to eat because I am not a seafood person and didn't want a salad. However, those sweet potato fries were soooooooooooo good! My colleague ordered hers with regular fries. Both our burgers well done. They nailed the cook. It was just cooked to well. Now I did find one pink spot but by that point I'd eaten 90% of the burger. And yes I surely did finish it! Shout out to our server! We never wanted for Diet Coke. I have got to do better remembering names! She checked in often. We asked for the check early and it was like she magically reappeared with it 10a later. A couple of weird things. The door. I don't know if this is a summer issue or installation issue. Maybe it will be corrected by the time you go but you have to pull hard to open the door. Like pull on it or you will think it's locked. Also, the music randomly increased in volume. It was at a good level the. All of a sudden it felt like 5:15 in a neighborhood bar. Maybe somebody's jam came on and they wanted to hear it? I touch too loud. The place got progressively crowded for lunch but it wasn't so loud that the music volume needed to be increased. No beers or cocktails for us. I did peel at the bar and it looks well appointed.

I made a stop in here late Saturday for lunch while I was in Davidson. The restaurant was not very busy and I was seated immediately. The lunch menu was small but had a good selection. I opted for the Salmon Quinoa bowl and a beer. The food came out fairly quickly - the dish was served cold with the exception of the salmon. I have to admit, this was one of the best preparations of salmon that I've had - crispy on the outside but not over cooked in the middle. I did end up taking off a star due to the price. My 16oz beer cost $16! It was a craft beer that was not rare and I can't think of the last time I've paid that price (other than maybe an athletic stadium). Typically a beer like that is $7-$8.
