We spent last weekend in Davenport as my birthday getaway. We live about an
hour and a half SW of there.
Haven't been to The Boat House but will have to check it out. I can
recommend the Thunder Bay Grill at the North end of Brady Street. Especially
for Sunday brunch. They have an omelet bar and Belgian waffle bar, and both
are excellent. Cracker Barrel is also in the area, if that interests you.
