Historic Davenport House

We went here while traveling in Rhinelander. It is newly opened. The atmosphere is wonderful and welcoming in this quaint historic house. Someone came by to give us a roll so we each had one. My suggestion is that the rolls be warmed as these were a bit dry. We ordered two appetizers. Crab and Fennel Crostini and the Pork and Duck meatballs. The Crostini was good but a little thick for me to bite through because it was hard. The meatballs were delicious and tender. I ordered the Duck entree with a side of the potatoes I had read about. The potatoes were super thin and crisp. Very good! The duck was slightly overdone but still very tender and delicious! My companion ordered the Portabella Wellington with a side of the gravy that comes with the Beef Wellington as suggested by the waitress. Delicious! The salad that came with the meal was a nice mix of fresh greens and not the icky iceberg salads you get at allot of restaurants. We rarely order dessert but the Tirimisu sounded good so we ordered it. Yum! The wait staff was very attentive and knowledgeable. We would definitely return!

Impressive wine menu. Every item we had was outstanding! Chicken artichoke entree & falafel sandwich were tasty and well presented. Barbara was an attentive server. We will be back!

FINALLY Rhinelander has a classy upscale restaurant. I love coming to the Davenport House for Sunday brunch. They have an unusual menu featuring items you normally can’t find at Northwoods restaurants (shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles, s’mores crepes).
