Davenport’s outdoor seating is my very favorite. As well as being very pretty, the noise factor is minimal so that our party of 4 could all hear each other well, and we all loved our meals. Our evening was a perfect dining experience.

Dinner was delicious! I missed the steak salad so we improvised and added steak to a house salad. Delicious! I would like them to offer a baked potato as an option. Veggies are delicious! Husband had a Thai noodle seared Tuna salad, other guest had a burger and a filet steak. All of us were very satisfied!

Our server, Matthew did a great job, even overhearing us mentioning a dirty martini was waaay too dirty, tasted like pure olive juice. He corrected it without being asked. Food was excellent and well presented. The one odd moment was when the owner appeared at our table while we were eating our entrees, asked "all well here?" And then immediately wheeled and left without waiting for a reply.

The outdoor patio is beautiful and peaceful. Perhaps should add a wind guard because it was windy and kept blowing out our patio heater. Good was delicious and our server, Emily, was one of the best I’ve had anywhere. She was super sweet and engaging. We will definitely come back, hopefully with some more of our office colleagues!

My wife and I came here to celebrate our first wedding anniversary for a special dinner. Davenport's didn't disappoint. The hostess congratulated us when we first arrived, then the owner stopped by to congratulate us with a glass of champagne, and our server also congratulated us when we were greeted. We were pleasantly surprised to have each person congratulate us when the greeted us. The service was outstanding along with the amazing food. We really enjoyed ourselves and will be coming back. Thank you Davenport's!

Cocktails are outstanding and generous (they should be, they're expensive). Food is universally good -- I LOVE their tuna mango poke, and the steak and fish are great. Ambiance is second-to-none (for the Valley, and especially Encino). Inside it's dark, old school & romantic, outside under the string lights it's flirty and fun. Both atmospheres are great.

My wife and I came back here for dinner last night after not coming for a while and the meal was very bad. The grilled artichoke was the only good thing we had. The wedge salad was dry with barely any dressing. It tasted like dry lettuce with blue cheese and bacon on it. After waiting for 20 minutes for anyone to attend to us we finally managed to get some extra dressing and that made the world of difference. The New York steak was awful. Overcooked, tough and bland. The mashed potatoes were even more bland, and the asparagus arrived like huge logs on the plate, served like I'd expect at a Cheesecake Factory not a steakhouse. I left two thirds of my food on the plate. The meal felt like a complete waste of money, very disappointing.

Sat at the bar. Beautiful decor. Lots of good looking people enjoying themselves. Was served with bomb drinks right away. Fresh baked bread🤤. Clam chowder sooooo goood. Braised short rib with coconut jasmine rice is to die for (switched instead of mashed potatoes). Great experience and exceeded my expectations. Been coming here for a few years and will continue. Thank you Nigel🙏

We had a very nice dinner with old friends. The wait staff was very patient with us as we spent some time catching up before ordering. Watch out for the cocktails, quite strong but really good. The squash I had as an accompaniment with my pork chop were too al dente for my taste and the mash potatoes a little thin but tasty none the less. I'm picking nits - will definitely return.
