The Mustard SeedNever DisappointsWe were on our way back from the Foothills to the Bay Area and decided to stop for dinner. We felt fortunate to have snagged a last minute reservation. We've been here before and have always been impressed by everything - from the time we are greeted at the door, seated at our table, meal selection, our meals (this time - Gazpacho, Risotto with Prawns, Rack of Lamb) and the attentive service (Thanks, Alex for taking such good care of us!) Our only regret? Not having room for dessert! Well, there's always next time and we will return.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMPre-concert favoriteWent to Mustard Seed prior to Mondavi concert. Atmosphere was perfect out on the patio. Servers were attentive and gracious - kept the iced tea flowing. Food was delicious - I don't eat seafood or much red meat, so had the Duck Breast - perfectly done. Enjoyed a good salad beforehand. Salads are a high point - fresh ingredients and somewhat adventurous in their make-up. Duck came with grilled asparagus and mashed sweet potato - great. Server was sure to get me off to the concert in plenty of time. In Davis, a good experience.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was great! I hadThe food was great! I had the duck and my husband had trout.

Can't wait to go back.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMSo much better now that theSo much better now that the new owners took over. How do I say this gently? The last woman owner was a server and shouldn't have been. Much better now.:)4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMNever a DisapointmentThis was our third visit to The Mustard Seed. Each has been better than the previous. The service was fantastic and the food was even better. We can hardly wait until our next visit with our daughter at UC Davis so we can return.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMA Smooth TransitionWe have enjoyed dining at The Mustard Seed for years and are happy to report the new owners have not changed the ambiance, prices or the menu (although seasonally changing the menu and introducing new dishes is a good thing!). We appreciate the price point of the main dishes but the starters all seem a tad higher than they should be. We especially enjoy the adorable charm of the building and back patio. We do miss seeing and interacting with the previous owners since they often served in the restaurant.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMThis is a hidden gem! I haveThis is a hidden gem! I have heard of Mustard Seed for some time, but I have driven past it many times and didn't even know a restaurant was there. Made a special trip specifically to meet friends for dinner here and had a great experience. The service was perfect, the food fantastic, we will definitely be back.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Mustard Seed was friendThe Mustard Seed was friend recommended.

The food was perfect & the service was excellent. Something to keep in mind is that this is an upscale restaurant, not at all like a chain restaurant. I would recommend The Mustard Seed to anyone & everyone that loves delicious food!3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMNew owners bring some niceNew owners bring some nice updates to the decor and more to come. Our server, John, took excellent care of us and welcomed us to the restaurant. The salads were excellent. My vegetable plate was nicely done and was an off-menu item. We look forward to more variety on the wine list, especially wines offered by the glass.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had gone to the MustardWe had gone to the Mustard Seed a year ago and had such a good experience that we returned to Davis primarily to eat at the MustardSeed again. We were on our way from Washington to Southern California so stopping in Davis was not too much out of the way. After makingthe reservation, we found that the ownership had recently changed. This was a little disconcerting , however it turned out to make no difference.The food was excellent and the service the same. They have not missed a beat in the transition. The only negative of the restaurant is the size.It is quite small and the tables sit close together making it hard to not feel like you are listening in to the conversation of the other diners.3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMWhat an awesome place!
