10/10Steph our service person was so knowledgeable with food and makes a delicious margarita cocktail! The food was incredible. The great thing with the food was it was easily shared if you want to. The lamb was cooked buttery soft. Try the flan, it does not disappoint!!!

10/10This restaurant was terrific. We went there on a recommendation and we were not disappointed. The booking process was easy, the parking was great ( maybe we were lucky) and the service was flawless. We all had the chef’s special menu with dessert - fabulous presentation, interesting selection. We’ll be back to try the next menu.

10/10Food was absolutely delicious. The Saltbush Lamb Rump was a highlight, as were the Kipfler spuds. I never knew damper could taste so good! We will be back again.

10/10We had an early dinner on Saturday night and it was fantastic. The new menu is varied and unique. Such a wonderful idea to have dishes that can be shared so we could both try the amazing tastes. We had two entrees and three mains between us. All dishes were sensational, with amazing flavours. And the service was excellent. Professional and friendly, with some great recommendations. Very much looking forward to returning and trying more of the wonderful food.

8.5/10The Davidson never fails to impress, the concept of training tomorrow's industry experts while enjoying today's produce and service is unique to the Davidson. If you have not experienced this dining experience, do yourself a favour. I am confident you will enjoy the experience while supporting tomorrow's heroes.
