We have had enjoyed David's cooking since we first moved back to Cincinnati and discovered Daveed's in Mt. Adams in the early 2000's. Even then he was always incredibly sensitive to our food allergies and intolerances. I've loved watching their transition and maturation from Mt. Adams, to Loveland, back to Mt. Adams, and now to Madeira with Daveed's Catering and Culinary Kitchen. I can't count the number of meals and dishes I've enjoyed with them over the past 20 years.
I was inspired to write this review though after David and Liz Cook provided an in home cooking class with not only a delicious

These people are absolutely TOP SHELF. We had a Valentine's dinner this evening. 5 courses, serving about 12-14 people in a private setting. Every course was perfect. David and Liz produced beautiful dishes with stellar service. I have used these guys for birthday parties, office parties etc for literally 15+ YEARS and I am consistently amazed at the quality and professionalism, year after year. Do yourself a favor and hire this crew for your next private/corporate dinner. I love these guys.

Out of this world. Daveed's catered our corporate event for ~120 people. I couldn't tell you all of the different food choices for light bites/hors d'oerves, but I can tell you that everything I had (which was nearly everything) was PHENOMENAL.

Daveed's was wonderful to work with and totally exceeded expectations. They're on my list of trusted caterers in Cincinnati!

David Cook remains equal to best chefs in Cincinnati. Honored to have a very special wine dinner in their Madeira location. Could not have been better. Great food, great service, wonderful friendly ambiance for our group.

David and Liz Cook have always been a bright spot in the Cincinnati food scene. and their latest venture is no exception. They do catering, have prepared food to go, and have a market, but my favorite is the tapas nights. If you have a chance to go, don't miss it. The food is fun small plates in a really friendly, intimate environment. David is doing inventive modern American cuisine - seasonal ingredients with interesting flavors and really good judgment. Our night they had teamed up with Corkopolis to select wines, and that was also terrific - affordable wines that we had never tried but were

Daveed's catered a work party we held at Corkopolis. We are all still raving about the food! It was easily the best chicken breast I have had in my entire life and the soup, salad, sides and desserts were simply excellent. I have never thought of catered food as being anything other than average but Daveed's blew me out of the water! Highly recommend for any event.

Daveeeds provided the dinner for the diner en blanc this year end it was disastrous. Salads thrown into baggies, s huge bunch of lettuce, and ind chicken breast (also presented in s Baggie) to be shared by 2 people. All for the low low price of $125. He had a captive audience if potential customers and completely blew it with this thoughtless and cheap meal.

Not sure where the previous reviewer went, but it wasn't Daveed's. Very good place, great service. After living in NYC and Chicago for years, it's nice to find a place that can compete in both of those cities.

Fantastic service. Fresh menu. Reasonably priced and expansive wine list.

Everything we tried was great. We split an appetizer, salad, an entree, and dessert. All ingredients are fresh and put into interesting pairings.

Perfect place for pre- theater dinner or a romantic meal.

First I heard the whispers, then I heard the roars. Never have I been such a place that changed my entire meaning of life. The Foie Gras pot de creme, seared venison, and the Cha ca la Vong were the greatest culinary experience of my life. The only thing that was better was the service. Our server Steven, in a word, was Legendary. He took me on an adventure that only dreams are made of adhering to every attention to detail. His knowledge could only be compared to a blend of Socrates and Einstein. For a brief moment during dessert I thought he was floating away from my table, although it

Customer treatment was pathetic. Gee, you're first to arrive for dinner. Let's see if we can get away with giving you one of the worst tables. The beer list is boring. The Asian pork noodle dish was luke warm and the pork hard to find ($20). You should be jumping with joy to have customers. If you'd like some bread with dinner; that's extra. I'll be surprised if you're still there on 1/1/17. You alienated four individuals who eat out constantly. We'll never be back.
