   Davenport is always an exceptional experience. This time, we brought friends specifically to eat the nettles dumplings -- a seasonal treat that chef Kevin Gibson nails every time. Said friends were blown away, and we were impressed anew. Everything else was remarkable, too -- vegetables fresh and bright, halibut cooked to perfection, wine that was complex and deeply satisfying. The dedication to bringing out the best in seasonal foods is obvious, and the kitchen's light touch is greatly appreciated.

   Fresh ingredients served in a creative, savory way. I particularly like the way the prepare various vegetables in such tasty combinations. Fantastic delicious wines from artisan producers in Europe and Oregon. A very knowledgable staff can get you the right bottle.

   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.
