Davis is a college town. As such the food options run cheap, caloric, and fast. The Mustard Seed is a rare exception (from what I can tell it's one of 2, maybe 3 quality-food-focused spots in town). Housed in a small, quaint cottage, it's loaded...Read More

Really a delightful dining experience. The food and service were excellent. We dined on their back patio. We had the Salmon Carpaccio and the cheese plate, which paired together marvelously. For entrees we had the duck and scallops, both of which were cooked to perfection....Read More

When we attend Mondavi events our first choice is The Mustard Seed. Their dedication to fresh food and variety is apparent. They never cease to amaze me, when we tell them we have an event they will expedite your orders!

Yeah. That was pretty great. It's pricey (and glad a good friend's company was picking up the tab), but the food was exceptional, the presentation exceptional, and the service knowledgeable and professional. Would absolutely come back knowing everything from the appetizers to the desserts would...Read More

The gazpacho soup was so flavorful. You'd be surprised how many ingredients go into this! The lamb was fall off the bone, and the potato croquette was so crisp on the outside and soft in the middle. Everyone at the table loved their food so much the...Read More

Amazing services. Both waiters are very friendly and considerate. Felt more than welcomed when I had lunch there. Would recommend the crab cakes and their coffee. Only downside is that I would love to have some salt on the fries
