We NEVER go wrong eating at Davis St ft. Chef Mark Holley. Tonight was the "Mardi Gras Experience" and it did not disappoint! The Blackened Redfish & sides were beautifully presented but tasted even better than it looked. My husbands BBQ'd Shrimp and all that came with it, was completely devoured including total sopping of all semblance of gravy. Needless to say, he all but licked the plate clean! (hehe). Chef Holley and his exceptional crew ALWAYS make us feel welcome & special as he personally visits every table to make sure everyone enjoy their experience at Davis St just as we do. We truly appreciated this special dining experience...esp considering the cost was remarkable as well. Can't wait to experience the next 'Super" special Mark!!!

March is an exquisite dining experience—thoughtfully designed and executed. Each course was imaginative and beautiful in presentation and taste, and the service was exemplary. We anticipated a lovely, memorable meal and came away with an experience far superior to what we had imagined.
