| - Bon Appetit don't lie, y'all. This place is the bomb diggity. Amazing food. Good drinks. Friendly service. Classic cute downtown Davidson location. Perfection.
The milk bread is amazing. The scallops have been wonderful every time we've gone. The squid ink conchiglie is good, but I'd prefer it with a different sauce (we got blue crab and sea urchin) to cut the taste of the squid ink a bit. The gnocchi is always amazing -- perfect texture, melt in your mouth good. If you haven't had their duck fat potatoes with garlic aioli, you haven't lived. The chocolate cake is solid, but next time I want to try their cinnamon milk bread dessert. The best part of all of this is that their menu is constantly changing, so from day to day you won't have the same thing twice ... but you won't be sad about it!
This is exactly the kind of food, drink, and service I've been hunting for since moving away from DC, and I'm thrilled to have found it in Davidson! Kudos to the owners for stepping up what it means to be a great restaurant in the Queen City, and I'll cross my fingers that more fantastic restaurants set up shop nearby to keep up with the Joneses (or, as the case may be, the Kindreds).
P.S. If you get seated upstairs, it's REALLY cold, so bring a sweater or afghan or snuggie.
