Went here with a group on a Saturday before a concert at Neighborhood Theatre. DSPH replaces the much missed Miyagi's which closed without notice several months ago. The food is now gastropub-style while the atmosphere is not vastly different (furniture is exactly the same).
It was crazy in NoDa due to the concert but the staff at Davidson St. took our name and phone # which let us hit up a less crowded bar while we waited for our table. When we returned, we were quckly seated by our peppy server/hostess.
Drinks were promptly brought out and selection was excellent. The only thing missing though were the prices - for all beer and wine. Good menu was pretty limited and focused on sandwiches, salads and small plates. Our server took our order which included a meat/cheese plate appetizer.
After waiting about 30 minutes, we received our food. The meat/cheese plate came out with the entrees. Fail.
The food was generally very good with the only complaint being an extremely tough and fatty piece of pork belly. The server graciously comped the pork belly sandwich entree and the meat/cheese appetizer (which went untouched) after one person in our group brought it up to the server.
Prices overall were a littler higher than other pubs on N. Davidson, but not too out of line. Overall, would definitely give Davidson St. another try. Hopefully they can work out the kinks during this soft opening, though I'm still kind of itching for Miyagi's to return. :-)
