    This location is absolutely stunning! The music leading up to the eatery was incredibly relaxing, and the service, atmosphere, and cuisine are truly exceptional. I had a professional meeting during the Happy Hour, and I opted for the bartender's specialty cocktail (created by Edgar), Raw Clams, Black Angus Beef Sliders, and the Peri Peri Dusted Cornish Hen. A 3rd Ward Gem, you must give them a try.

    As a visitor to Houston from Australia I felt very welcome at Davis St The service was great, staff were very friendly and I didn’t feel like an idiot asking questions about the menu or wine list (thanks Kevin!) Highly recommended for a great evening meal - the Muddled Stew was outstanding

    This is a go to for me and my experience is always great. The food is top notch. I've never had a bad dish here. This was the first time I've had a service issue so I'm going to chalk it up to a lot of new staff. However, it was pretty bad on this night. The overall experience was still good. The staff seemed to work a bit harder toward the end of our dinner to make up for what was obviously subpar service. So because of this I will remain a regular.

    Wonderful food and service. The meals are Southern with a twist. For example it’s Cornish hens with waffles. If you go for brunch you must have the biscuits.

    Went for Sunday brunch. Excellent service and food. I had cornish hen and waffles, other guests had lamb plate, steak plate, and shrimp and grits. Least favorite was shrimp and grits because this person liked their grits smooth and not grainy. Otherwise, everything was very tasty and good atmosphere with a view. Would highly recommend for special occasions.

    I have dined at Davis St. a few times but Houston Restaurant Weeks allowed me the chance to finally try their brunch menu. One of the reasons I frequently return is for the ambiance and incredible service I always receive at Davis St., and brunch service was just as impressive and solid. I took advantage of their homemade biscuits, the eggs Benedict - the side of collards with pickled red onion was absolutely AMAZING - and their coconut cake. The food was A1, and it was my first time taking a friend there and she was thoroughly impressed, also. I highly recommend Davis St. as one of the very best overall dining experiences in the city.

    It was mostly good, but our server did mistake the cards and put incorrect values on each one and made it difficult to fix. We resolved it amongst the party, but it was uncomfortable and left us on a sour note.

    Four of us came for Sunday brunch during HRW. Amazing food, great service, and reasonably priced! The drinks were fabulous—Mimosas and Bloody Mary’s; the appetizers were delish; I do not think I’ve had better broiled oysters anywhere! The other three said the Korean beef wraps were delicious. The biscuits were buttery and delicious. We had Southern Benedict, French toast and Migas. My husband wasn’t crazy about his Migas, but the Southern Benedict’s and French Toast were fabulous. We all ordered the coconut cake and the chocolate dessert. I am not a chocolate fan, but I tried my husband’s, and it was amazing. I was too full for my dessert and brought it home. I just ate my coconut cake for lunch. The BEST coconut cake I’ve ever had; it is to die for!! I look forward to many more fabulous meals here!!!

    Food was delicious. Started with an off menu fresh strawberry lemonade, Ultimate French Toast, and Eggs Benedict. Finished with key lime cheesecake and the Mud Pie Parfait. Well plated. Amazing flavors. Nice ambiance with well dressed crowd and waitstaff. However, Service was a bit slow. More than 90 minutes for brunch for two.

    We had a table of 8 to enjoy the HRW brunch . It was a lively and buzzy scene with attentive, welcoming service. Food was excellent all around. I can recommend chargrilled oysters, Korean beef wraps, fried chicken (a big bird!) and waffles. Baking, in particular, is their strong suit. Do not bypass the plate of biscuits and jam, which will transport you to a happy place (cue the scene from Ratatouille where the restaurant critic has a Proustian flashback to the warmth of his mother's embrace after tasting the titular dish. The coconut cake is Out.Of. Bounds. We had already heard wonderful things about Davis Street, and now, we can attest to its excellence. Thank you for memorable dining experience!

    We enjoyed our experience at Davis Street. The food was good. Loved the buttermilk biscuits. One friend loved the Coconut Cake and another liked the Mississippi Mud Pie. We came for Houston Restaurant Week, but felt the HRW menu did not reflect the NOLA vibe we were looking for. It was more international. I did order the Duck gumbo a la carte and it was very good. The service was outstanding, especially Micah, but everyone there was great. We will be back.

    All six in our group were very pleased with their three courses from the HRW menu. The chef used quality ingredients and everything was served beautifully and tasted delicious. On the basis of the food alone, I would have rated five stars. We did have two concerns that were not related to the food, but which impacted our overall experience. In the 530-715 pm slot we reserved, the sun is bright coming in the west windows, and it is hot and bright enough to give one in our group a sunburn. The staff unfortunately had difficulty bringing the shades down. Also, with six of us at table, and all of us having many thoughts to share, it was difficult to hear one another over the loud soundtrack, even though we did politely request that the music be turned down a bit. For this reason, I rated the ambience at three stars with an overall rating of four stars.

    Tasty Restaurant Weeks dinner at Davis St. I selected the salad, which was very good, blackened gulf fish (disappointed the choice was catfish! But it was well seasoned.), and the ALWAYS DELICIOUS coconut cake. Our friends enjoyed the gumbo, veggie plate, pork chop & chocolate parfait (they carried out the 2nd dessert, which was the coconut cake). Excellent cocktails and good wine selection.

    Davis Street for the first time through restaurant week and I really enjoyed myself. We were greeted by friendly staff at the front and our server Daniel was great, he provided excellent recommendations. Ambience is also really nice. They had great music selection. Also, a few TVs to catch the game. The first course we got the Korean beef tacos, which were delicious and the gumbo. The gumbo didn't have a lot of meat, and when asked to substitute the fried oysters for more shrimp, we only received one shrimp in the entire bowl. The second course, the blackened catfish and the pork chops 10 out of 10 flavor and portion size were great. The desert was also pretty good, but the coconut cake was more like a hummingbird cake.
