Davenport's is an 818 Gem. I'm 8 years n. * it's still my Most Favorite place in the whole Valley. The Staff is exceptional. I Love everyone there. & The Bartenders Slay n ever way.
CONSISTENTLY GREAT FOOD AND GREAT SERVICE! TRY THE SPINACH DIP, POKE, OYSTERS, PRIME RIB, SEAFOOD SALAD AND BANANA CREAM PIE. THE BEST!
Our server, Garret, was fantastic! The Bar back kept us with water and the bartender made REALLY good martinis! Oh, the food was good too.
The food was underwhelming, especially the Cowboy steak, which was plain and lacked any standout flavor. What really ruined the experience, though, was the service. We had to wait far too long every time we needed something, and the staff seemed completely uninterested in the guests. Overall, a disappointing visit.
I'd been wanting to go to Davenports and finally made the reservation for four in a Friday night. Service was 2 stars. Unattentive and cold.We ordered drinks and waited forever for them to arrive only to be told the beer and wine we ordered wasn't in stock. Then came back a 2nd time with alternate choice also out of stock. We ordered appetizers....out of the crab cakes too... Prices are high but we knew that going in and wanted a quality meal. Spinach dip was so-so with large lumps. Grilled Salmon was good...not great. French dip arrived with no au jus till we asked for it. $52. Seafood boullaibase was just ok.... Had to ask for bread which is odd considering this was a $400 meal Wont be rushing back anytime soon
A great meal at a very nice steak house. The Davenport team made us feel welcome. Friendly and efficient staff with delicious food. Thank you !
Great food and great service.... Allie was a wonderful server and the whole staff was professional.... Monday Happy hour is best in The Valley... Cybill and I really enjoy the Davenport Experience!
Excellent service and wide variety of choices for dinner. My wife and I shared the House Salad and the Miso Chilean Sea Bass. Large portions, enough to share. Food was fresh and Sea Bass prepared perfectly. Shout out to the bartender for making an excellent Paper Plane Five out of five stars, all around
Amazing food, service and experience. It's definitely a place to expect to have a higher bill. However it is worth it!
We had the French dip sandwich, seafood salad, and smoked trout dip appetizer. Everything was delicious.

The food was tasty, but it was overpriced, and they nickeled and dimed us with extra charges that were not noted until the bill came. The service was slow and inattentive, and we had to go looking for our server several times. A disappointment.
We came in excited to celebrate my birthday, and things started off strong—my martini was perfect, just the way I like it, with a little extra olive.
But things went downhill once the food arrived.
My steak came out lukewarm. Our server agreed and took it back. In hindsight, I wish I’d kept it—especially now thinking about it at 10:30 PM, still hungry.
I ordered a glass of wine at that point. You’d expect it to arrive before the replacement steak. It didn’t. In fact, the second steak showed up first—and was cold. My wife and daughter confirmed it wasn’t just me.
My daughter had ordered the fried chicken salad with dressing on the side. We had to ask for the dressing twice, and it finally arrived when she was nearly done. That shouldn’t happen.
On a brighter note, the burger my wife ordered was fantastic— The salad was also great.
We also asked twice for more bread and never got it.And if something comes out wrong twice, a manager—not just the server—should step in. That never happened.
To be clear: the food was excellent, and the service team truly tried. But effort needs leadership. When things go wrong, someone in charge should acknowledge it. Instead, you disappeared.
Mr. Davenport thank for replying to the review.I will reach out to when returning,
Gorgeous atmosphere and professional customer services. Their food was amazing.
The food was delicious but our server Elaina was outstanding. My very fussy 90 yo mother didn't like a couple of things. Elaina must have reported it so the very gracious and professional manager replaced it. All in all it was a very lovely Mother's Day‼️💝
The restaurant has become more Ho- hum. It could use a bit of an overhaul and perhaps some different dishes added to the menu.
