John Davenport's Restaurant

The portions for dinner were very small considering what they are charging.

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious breakfast overlooking the beautiful green and Yale university from the hotels 19th floor restaurant. Christine was our sweet and efficient server, she even looked up exactly who John Davenport was and when as cofounder of New Haven. We’ll be back! Parking: The restaurant stamped your parking ticket making it free!

We decided on John Davenport's for Christmas Day dinner, because it was only about an hour away from home, was on the 19th floor of the Omni and we liked the menu selections we saw online. We are really glad we did. Now, the view was fantastic, even though it was dark, however, once the fog rolled in it was like having dinner in the clouds. We are planning to go back at some point during the day. They have a very large wine selection of small glasses, large glasses or bottles. A craft cocktail selection and a number of beers on tap and cans / bottes. All of the food we had was excellent. Lobster bisque, Deviled Eggs, Smoked Tenderloin Tips and the Goat Cheese Salad. Then NY Strip, Short Rib and the La Belle Farms Crispy Duck. The desserts were also very good. "The Dome" which was a hard-shell chocolate, well, dome, with chocolate raspberry ganache, the Espresso Creme Brulee, something I do not usually eat but thoroughly enjoyed, and of course nothing beats the Warm Skillet Cookie. Our server and all of the staff were very attentive and checked in on us for drink refills, water refills and to make sure we did not need anything the perfect number of times. Overall, we really enjoyed our dining experience.

This was a fantastic dining experience! I took my wife to dinner for her birthday. The service and staff were terrific. They made us both feel special. Nice atmosphere, love the views of the city. We'll be back!

I'm so happy this restaurant is back on business. We were able to reserve a table for Thanksgiving buffet. Besides the beautiful views the food is delicious. The buffet didn't disappoint us even when we were at the last seating. Such ample variety, not only traditional Thanksgiving dishes but also duck, smoked salmon, delicious smoked scallops, a carving station, and crepe station as well. Would recommend this place for a romantic dinner or Sunday brunch. Love it!

Service Super Amazing! Look for ROBIN, breakfast. She'll treat you like royalty. Omlet chef good! Went back seconds. Must have reservations. A la carte breakfast only certain hours.
