Overwhelmingly, I've had fantastic experiences as they have improved. Apparently, there are some inconsistencies here and there, which I'm sure they're aware of! I find this one of a kind gem is worth supporting, our north coast is a special place, and the empty beaches and mountain views are worth the trip.

You know we are all wanting to know, "What place is this?" Is it the Whale Bakery or the Davenport Roadhouse, formerly the Cash Store? My and husband and I had a totally unpleasant experience with both the service and the food at the Roadhouse shortly after it opened. The owners were on site and completely clueless. However, at the time it seemed to have potential. OK, now let’s not be coy.

Stood for ten minutes (which they asked me to do) in front of the bakery case, though there were plenty of empty tables. They didn't comp me even a glass of tea for the inconvenience. I ordered soup and a main, and the waitress brought them both twenty minutes later. Meanwhile (I am not making this up), she took forever getting her six-top served because she CARRIED ONLY ONE PLATE AT A TIME. I've heard (from a chef and a food writer who live in Davenport) that it's better at night, but why would I risk it? The food was only "eh" at best. What a waste of a lot of good energy: the staff problems are apparently nearly insurmountable. I went there, too, and had an equally not-good, unimpressive experience.
