New menu with new Chef! Beautiful salmon croquettes with that exceptional crust that's lightly crisp and as soon as you bite into it you're into the soft density of potatoes and salmon. Nicely priced to $15. And the Marry Me Chicken with Asparagus could challenge any existing chicken dish you might consider a favorite. I also ordered the chefs board because for $38 it's one of the most impressive and delicious options in town. I also needed to pick up two bottles of white for a special occasion add to know they have an excellent wine collection especially of Willamette Valley vintners, so after a brief consultation with owner I was presented with two Willamette Valley whites: one mineral-driven 2021 Pinot Gris by Antiqum Farm Ficus rated 90-93 pts and the other an elegant Burgundian Chardonnay by Domine Divio rated 91-94 pts. read more

The restaurant was closed when we arrived for dinner, not just out of hours of operation, completely closed. Which is odd because I was receiving texts asking me to confirm my reservation, even the day of. If they are officially closing they should not take reservations and the texts should be telling you to look elsewhere for a reservation. read more

We stopped in with friends and at first we were the only table and then it became quite busy. Like some of the other reviews it was very good but do not be in a rush when you come here because it becomes very busy and the staff works very hard but it could use a few more good hands to work there and help when it gets super busy. The decor is really fun and a vibe to eat and drink with friends. We all enjoyed our meals of the salmon, burger and goat salad. read more

An oasis in a difficult downtown corridor, Davis never disappoints. The food is always good, the wine selection is terrific and the service is awesome. I had shrimp and grits, well seasoned and a generous portion for a"small plate." Husband had steak frites and really enjoyed it. Great experience overall, highly recommend. read more

The Davis Restaurant & Bar - Shrimp and grits - New American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

We are regulars for years. We went last night December 30, 2025. Had reservations. 2 servers for the entire restaurant , one was the new bartender. Drinks were very small Pours not like the usual excellence..both our cocktails were only half full. The ONE waitress was alone for a half full large restaurant. She was very polite and did the best she could especially with a table of 8 near us and another table of 6. She hustled, she could get another job anywhere. Some people had to go to the bar to get another drink. I saw an elderly man come out 3 times from the other room giving the what the Hell look. He needed food and drink... a server. The food looked great as usual but it was stone cold 20 minutes ago? Are there no heat lamps on in The kitchen? Domes? The waitress couldn't run any faster. The restaurant was chilly inside, kept my coat on, did the cooks have a door open? Many kitchens do that. We love this place and want them to succeed. I Recommend it regularly especially as a go to romantic place or a stop before a Jazz Station performance ( only have to park once) why was there no one as back up when a server calls in sick? Impossible to run without adequate help. Not even a skeleton staff. I sadly had to return my food because the fries and a Wellington sandwich, cold melted cheese with cold au jus are not palatable. Btw it didn't resemble the beautiful one I had a few days prior. My husband's pork chop dinner with mushroom orzo and grilled asparagus was great ! and just barely warm enough to enjoy. Our ice cold roasted veg platter with marscapone was still delicious as a sub for the missing ? Out of kale Caesar ...But the veg platter was much better 10 days ago when we had it hot. Oh please can you resolve your chronic shortage of staff issues? Since the coming year should have plenty of people needing employment. We love you but can you better. We love your menu and improved ambience. From now on I will ask at the check in "do you have enough staff? Tonight " I had to go home and heat up leftovers for my night off. Sad. read more

We went to the restaurant last night and sat at the bar. Bartender was great but definitely hurried by tables and walk up traffic. We ordered some drinks that were prepared in a timely fashion. We proceeded to order the Beet salad, Bacon Mac and The Georgian. The salad came out quickly but the other 2 took an inordinate amount of time. Although we were enjoying our beverages the process was definitely too slow. We took the Blueberry Tart home for dessert and it was delicious! We will of course come back. It was certainly a great value which is a wonderful change from other restaurants in Eugene. read more

Stop in here on a recommendation and could not have been happier! First course was crispy Brussel sprouts with lemon slices and green olive - hands down the best Brussels I have ever had! Our mains were a burger (fantastic) and the salmon entree - truly amazing! The chef here needs some kudos! read more

The Davis Restaurant & Bar - Brussels! - New American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

A girlfriend and I decided to treat ourselves to a lovely sit down dinner before heading over to The Hult Center to scream out heads off at RuPaul's Werq the World Tour. Making reservations was very easily done through the website. We decided to split the fungi fries, the beet salad, and the four cheese tortellini. We also both selected a drink from their mocktails selection. She got the hibiscus kiss while I ordered the spicy cucumber mock-a-rita. I am not exaggerating when I saw that this was one of the best food spread I have had in awhile. The star of the show was the beet salad! Now I usually can't stand cucumbers, but I was surprised to see that I didn't mind them in this dish. They were such a nice refreshing compliment with the creamy dressing and smoky roasted veggies that I didn't even notice them. Also I so appreciate there being a mini mocktail menu. My mock-a-rita was delicious. I have eaten at The Davis a few times before and had typically a moderate experience. However, on this evening it was exceptional! Looking forward to this being a regular pre event dinner spot. read more

We really liked this spot. Great food and good size portions and great service. We will be back.

Cheddar Biscuit Pork sliders - WOW good. Super amped flavors. Loved the pickled veg! Beet salad - This was my FAVORITE dish here for years and possibly the best beet salad in the city ...unfortunately the past few times I missed the fresh beets. Still tasty but not as impressive. Four cheese tortellini - The entire table devoured this one. Great flavors and perfectly cooked. Hunters Ragu - the Calabrian peppers give this dish exceptional flavor. Yum! Chefs Board - we didn't order this but jealously watched other tables eat it. Next time!!! Jeff keep doing your magic! read more

I came to this restaurant because it was near my hotel, and it was sooooo good! It has a great open floor plan and a very nice vibe, and the food is delicious! I had the cheese tortellini and my son had the bacon Mac and cheese. Both were absolutely delicious. Our server Frances was delightful and if I were not an out of town guest, I would come back next week. If you're looking for a great date night, business dinner, or night out with friends, don't walk...RUN to the Davis Restaurant and Bar! read more

Service was passable, but they were very understaffed. The main complaint was the quality of food. Nothing had any flavor, and the few flavors that were present were bazar. I had a pork chop which came with an apple, fennel orzo pasta. The fennel flavor was non existent and the apple was so sweet it ruined the dish, especially with the cheesiness of the orzo. All of the other dishes we ordered also had odd flavors and a general lack of flavor. read more

Drinks 10/10 Food 3/10.... Calamari was tough and flavorless. Ribs were greasy and tough as they tore off the bone. Too much sauce... yuck! Will be back for drinks. Not for food. Sorry folks, but now I feel ill.. :( read more

My food was delicious - definitely recommend the shrimp and grits. I sat at the bar and bartender was fantastic, but she was slammed and working solo. Meanwhile the guy seating people was walking around barking orders at the bartender. It made me very uncomfortable and I felt terrible for her. I plan to return and am excited to try other things on the menu but I did not like hearing the staff ordered around like that. read more

Both meals were way over salted- I couldn't eat it- and the waitress didn't check on us at all after the food was served.

Went here after learning that it's owned by the owner as Krob Krua. The butternut squash was uniquely presented & tasted super good. The Chop Chop salad was underwhelming, though - very salty, too much dressing, and not enough greens. The shrimp & grits were somewhere in between. I wouldn't mind giving it another try sometime, but I probably won't go out of my way to. read more

The food is absolutely stellar. Sometimes the specials are misses, but every item on the normal menu has been delicious and worth coming back for. And the bacon! Thick cut, freshly cooked, and salty... so good. I especially recommend the Chef's Board! The quality of service, as with most places, does depend on the waiter or waitress, but almost everyone is amazing. They don't skimp on space: My partner and I feel like we are a good distance away from other parties, and that we aren't needing to talk over people. I do recommend getting a reservation unless you come very early - because they are generous with spacing, there aren't as many tables. There's a parking lot a block away (a one to two minute walk?), if you can't find parking on the street. Lots of bars in the area, but The Davis Restaurant has a good number of cocktails, and they're pretty good. A little pricey, but it is a nicer restaurant, and the ambiance and food make it not as bad. read more

I love The Davis. It is THE restaurant in Eugene. Still amazing food after all these years. The menu changes seasonally and what they serve is consistently f***ing delicious. They plate their food so beautifully each time, and the service has been outstanding. I started with the flavorful (party in my mouth) beet salad and had the heavenly chicken & seasonal mushrooms dumplings, from the small plate/appetizer section as my entree. I had a bite of my husband's delicious pretzel served with a warm whipped cheese sauce (just damn good) before he devoured his steak & frites (which I've had and can say it's absolutely pleasurable). read more

We just went for snacks and dessert and it did not disappoint! The chef sport was fun and delicious (full disclosure, I am not a charcuterie board person) the pulled pork biscuit sliders were tasty, and the dessert special French toast, with roasted figs was unique and delish . Decent service. Only cons :The Decor seems a little dated, and none of the seating other than the booths is particularly appealing or cozy/comfortable. read more

Enjoyed dinner here and was impressed with the menu, but the execution fell a bit short on a few dishes. I will give it a second try as there were enough tasty dishes to return. May be one of the better restaurants Eugene We ordered shrimp with grits, oysters on the half shell, fried Brussels sprouts, squash ginger soup, the mezza plate and a burger. Presentation was nice on all dishes. Brussels we're a bit too greasy and slightly under salted. Adding a balsamic drizzle would have balanced out the richness. oysters were bland and completely flavorless, no saltiness, sweetness or nuttiness. At. All. Which I found very odd and disappointing. the squash ginger soup was delicious. burger was also delicious, cooked perfectly and seasoned well. Would definitely order again. May be my favorite burger in Eugene. I also ordered hot water with lemon. Sadly the water tasted like coffee. This seems like a small thing but to me it shows a lack of attention to detail. With a bit more fine tuning this restaurant could be really good. read more

Outstanding dining experience. Food-Blackened Shrimp, Abenaki Corn Grits, Cheddar, Charred Green Chili Butter Fabulous! I had never had proper grits. WOW couldn't get enough! My partner had the Salmon Filet, Yukon Potato Puree, Roasted String Beans, Summer Corn Chanterelle Vinaigrette. Service-Wonderful attention to detail. Our server made me one of the best martinis and I am very picky about my martinis! Fun Christmas music playing selections from movie scores to Elvis classics. All playing at the perfect volume. We live in Salem and were down for a show at the Hult. Can't wait to get back to this great resturant. read more

I had a good experience at the Davis the other night for dinner. The menu had a lot of various options like burgers, chicken pho, shrimp and grits, steak, and even oysters which I really appreciated. Something for everyone. Our server was extremely friendly and accommodating. It was my friend's 21st birthday and she brought out candles on the sliders she ordered which was so cute and sweet. Although, the ambiance is what makes this restaurant really stand out. Decorative lanterns and hanging lights all around as well as some really nice artwork. Romantic, cozy, rustic, vibes. Would be a cute spot for a date night. The food does take a while to come out so order some appetizers or drinks to start! Portions are pretty big though. I loved the kale Caesar salad if you are looking for a lighter option. It was super cheesy and had a yummy crispy bread piece on top. My friends said the Mac and cheese was delicious too! Overall, great spot for a leisurely meal. read more

What a gem! Just go! Second time here. We came when daughter looked at U of O. Not sure why they aren't on OpenTable. It's parent weekend so we thought they'd be packed. But, we scored a table anyway and had an even better experience than the first time (which was also amaze!) Everything about this restaurant is fantastic! The apps, the drinks, the entrees, the desserts. And the service is friendly and attentive. Donna was lovely and totally on it! Everytime someone had an empty drink someone in the restaurant would come over and refill or help her out. There is literally something for everyone. The chicken dumpling app is to die for. The mezze plate is a meal in itself. Pastas - superb! My husband had the salmon with mashed potatoes, cherries and Brussels and I was envious. He shared so he can come home with me later. ;) Do yourself a favor and add a side of potato salad for the table. Best I've had in a long time. Don't skip the pot de crème and the tiramisu (which was eaten so fast by my son, I couldn't snap a pic!) Didn't feel rushed at all despite the restaurant filling up after we snagged our table. One of the best in Eugene.... Actually in Oregon! read more

One of the best restaurants in Eugene. I had the lamb schwarma and it was thoughtfully prepared with a nice balance of creamy humus and pickled vegetables. Great burger and chicken wings too. Mixed drinks were tasty. Friendly professional service and a nice interior. Worth checking out. read more

The Davis. Well, it was amazing. It was worth all the crazy circling the block to find parking. It was worth the mystery of "where is this place?" It was worth sitting at the bar in lieu of a reservation. You might consider planning ahead, unlike me. The wine was fab. The pork chop was OUTSTANDING. The service was fine, but they're busy and not super focused on their customers. But, those cards play another way... I've had wait staff that has hovered awkwardly and that's probably worse. So, a great glass of wine. An amazing pork chop special. If I were in the area again I'd definitely visit The Davis. read more

My favorite Eugene restaurant. The menu is simple but excellently prepared, and the service has been great every time I've been in there.

Just want to complain about your disrespectful staff on the weekends and your manager. My friend was treated with complete garbage from a staff member and your manager. So I hope that in the future you can be more understanding and respectful of people and not discriminate based on your workers "feelings" about someone. Sorry I forgot we were supposed to have a job and be professional, my fucking bad read more

Came in for a drink and was a good experience. Had a delicious apricot infused manhattan. Came back an hour later to eat with my son and it was like we were invisible! Host just ignored us then when finally seated, no one took either drink nor food order til I got up and confronted waiter. Surprise, same guy! Mucho attitude taking the order, too. Later he left restaurant and never came back! So probably understaffed.The poor bartender, who was very nice, seemed to be doing it all! Food was good when it finally came. read more

This is really a neat restaurant and the owner, Tom, makes you feel so welcome and appreciated. The presentation of the food, quality of ingredients and ambiance all add to the experience. Casual, laid back and with a keen attention to service. Yes, this place checks lots of boxes.

I came to this spot while visiting Eugene and loved the vibe. The restaurant was well decorated and homey. The staff was friendly and made good recommendations.

The highlight of my night was the drinks! Adorable and delicious! read more

Amazing experience and fantastic food, start to finish. I can't believe I've been here two years and just discovered the magnificence (thanks Covid). Every course of our meal was delicious. We started with the chicken dumplings. So scrumptious. Next we had the farmer's market salad. All the veggies were fresh and nicely sliced. I'd have loved stronger vinaigrette, but hey, no biggie. The kabob plate was spectacular, as was the salmon. Now for the real fun: Donna and Devin are amazing. GREAT SERVICE. We had a wonderful time. Thank you so much. read more

The Davis has stood the test of time & many meals for us. The service is always friendly & knowledgeable. Menu is compact but has lots of delicious options - all good though we rarely go outside of our standbys...shrimp & grits, steak frites, chefs board, bourbon drinks. The salads are worth the add on as a split - great to share. Always feels like we made the right choice when we are done. Lunch is quieter but the room has a din in the evenings. Which is fine with me as it matches the bistro vibe I think. You should get the shoestring fries. Lots of their tables are high tops but they have a few booths and regular tables too. The hardest part is parking. Don't let that deter you. Go here. read more

Food was average. Wife asked for rare salmon and got medium.well to well. Disappointing. Sirloin was good fries better. We were actually going to walk out as wife cannot sit at high top table due to knees. They said no tables were available. I sail then we should go somewhere else. Suddenly a booth became available. You should try it and decide yourself. We will not return. read more
