Davenport brunch has many fans

They sit in Mama Mary’s section every time they dine.

They love her personal touches – the red rose petals on the white linens, her attentive service, the pesto couscous that isn’t usually on the menu but that she arranges for anyway. They had it at their wedding.

Andrew and Sarah Fuller were married right here, in the Isabella Ballroom, two years ago come October, after first visiting Spokane’s Historic Davenport Hotel in 2012. It was love at first sight with the ornate boutique hotel. Brunch sealed the deal.

Sunday best, indeed.

There’s the ambiance – gilded accents, sparkly chandeliers, a wall of windows that makes the space seem reminiscent of the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles.

Of course, there’s the cuisine, too – the signature prime rib, apple-wood smoked bacon, freshly made crepes and waffles, a chocolate fountain accompanied by a pineapple tower pinned with fresh fruit and marshmallows.

And there’s Mama Mary/ Adriana Janovich , SR. More here.

Question: Anyone else out there enjoyed the Davenport brunch? Is there a better one in the region?
