Davenport: Reviews & Ratings
The food is consistently delicious, well conveying its inherent flavor without burying it under a sauce that obscures it. The menu is wine friendly, and the wine list is well-juried and fairly priced.
I just had a wonderful meal at Davenport. The bartender recommended the nettle dumplings which were delicious and very unusual as well as the halibut with Manila clams and red beans. Again, an unusual dish that was delicious. I’ll be back.
Amazing special occasion dining experience. Food was A and the wine selection is fantastic. Splurge on a bottle of French burgundy and sit back over 5-6 small shared plates for an artistic and delicious dining experience. We will come back again!
The food was brilliant, service wasn’t on point the night we went but there was only one server so have to cut him a break. Overall a great little spot that’s been there a while and doesn’t get much attention...it’s a great place for a date night or just a casual night out with friends for some very well made food and cocktails were delicious too! Bravo.
Fantastic food, wine list, ambiance, and service. We loved it here!
Super friendly staff. The tapas style dishes were simply perfect. We ordered a half a dozen oysters and they’re served with horseradish, lemon on the side; super fresh. The scallops were delicious, as was the carpaccio. I had lamb for the first time and I’m so happy I did it here—the dish looked beautiful and taking that first bite was to die for.
we had an amazing dinner experience here! we loved the local and seasonal dishes, and cozy and intimate atmosphere. a true portland gem
The dining month menu was alright and the parking wasn't the funnest but the place was very nice. Staff was very friendly and the food was good. I especially enjoyed the scallops. We both picked the same options from the Portland dining month menu.
