Davenport remains one of the best restaurants in Portland. The menu is always varied with fresh and seasonal dishes. The food was excellent, as always. The service is highly competent and professional. The wine list is the right length with European and domestic wines. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable with modern lines.

Great food, service, wine with knowledgeable and helpful staff. But the noise level was excruciatingly loud and unpleasant. No particular table offended but a full house, and NOTHING to absorb noise (hard surfaces everywhere), made for an unpleasant din that also made conversation (just two of us) difficult. Suggest you install some panels - ceiling, wall, anything - to absorb some of the din.

Delicious meal of shared plates! Everything works. The roasted Columbia River smelt was a surprising treat.

You just can't go wrong with Davenport. Another fantastic dinner. We always go there on special occasions because we know it will be a great experience. The food was delicious, a got a perfectly done steak which was the best steak I've had in ages. The crab cannelloni was also wonderful. Really every single thing we got was top notch, and I really enjoyed the Chianti we got. The waiter was great and the service overall was excellent. The restaurant has a lovely neighborhood feel while still feeling like you are going out for a special dining experience. Can't recommend them highly enough and can't wait to go back!
