Not a destination! Caesar salad not very good. Ordered the scallop special. Very small portion. 4 scallops. Not seared . Presentation was very poor. Seems like mashed potatoes are served with almost everything, and they were absolutely cold. Served in a scoop. Very unappealing. Replaced the mashed with roasted potatoes . Much better. Service was just fair. Dishes were not cleared between courses until we asked. Cutlery was not replaced either. Unprofessional. No “bus boys”. Not run very well. Will not return.

The table service could have been better, several times there was no silver ware with the course. But the food was excellent and the service was just slightly annoying so it wasn't a big deal.

We had a 6:30pm reservation. Seated right away but order was not taken until 7pm. Took about 1/2 hour to get salad and then main course took just as long. Not really sure what was happening but assuming there was some form of staff shortage. Restaurant did give us gift card as it was apparent they knew there were internal issues last night. We are hoping this is a one night hiccup and not a new trend for Davenports.

This was the first time we ate inside. It was different and although the service was good, our server didn’t give us her full attention and barely came back. We weren’t asked if we wanted salads or dessert. We also didn’t care for the tables that were a step up and the table had a huge round base so it was hard to get your footing. For the age of the people eating, it seemed like an accident waiting to happen. That said, the food was good, as usual, but we didn’t care for eating inside nearly as much as we prefer the patio, which we think is magical.
