Charming restaurant with a ton of character, especially around holiday time. Food and services was excellent
Love this hidden Gem ! The Food was great as well as the Service. The Decor changes w the seasons/holidays . Beautiful trendy bar area while the dining area cozy w fireplace! We were a party of 5 and everyone loved their dishes. Granny had the Scallops and we also Cesar salad , crab cake , trout , ch Burger and dessert was fabulous! We will be back ! Our waitress Bridget was also great ! We are booking Thanksgiving w them
We had dinner on a Saturday night at 7:15pm. The dining room was totally packed.
We were seated promptly. Appetizers we had were oyster casino and mussels in white sauce. Both were very good.
For dinner she had Mahi Mahi and I had a Cajun ribeye steak.
She raved about her fish and the steak was very good not tuff at all. I believe they were on the special board. Total cost with tip and drinks and chocolate and white mousse cake for dessert was $200. The decor is a little unique to say the least but I would highly recommend going there. It is kind of "off the beaten path" but worthwhile.
They did have valet parking that night it made things a little easier. Overall a very nice place and experience. The waitstaff was pleasant and efficient.
Weve been coming here for a few years now.
Tonight was quite a disappointment.
We ordered the duck and got two " duck legs" very " old, stringy, dry and tough.
I called Lino the manager and he stated that this is the way people "like it and always request it as such".
He was so generous to offer a " cup of coffee" on the house.....we declined, such a generous offer.
What a shame.We used to like this place quite a bit...unfortunately
We won't be coming back here anymore neither will any of my employees.
Too bad...
Lino the general manager for many years now, yes that is how long my wife and I have going to Davenports, has done an outstanding job as the chief cook and bottle washer, lol, his staff is truly loyal and put service and quality above all!
Easter pre fix menu had plenty of choices, decent prices.. Food was good, steak was good but had better.. desserts were delicious... service was A plus
Old world charm and taste is alive and can be found at The Davenport Press Restaurant in Mineola. For a building 124 years old, once a printing press for four years, the interiors, moldings, tile, and marble are beautifully maintained. The shelves on the interior brick are lined with all sorts of interesting antiques and one spot, very reminiscent of the Incredible Upsidedown House, a complete dining table waiting for a party to join in on the ceiling. The attentive staff greets you and brings the menu, price fixe menu, with a list and a tonight special's whiteboard to your table. Incredible choices await all your senses be it grilled meats, fish, roasted entrees like duck, pasta dishes, seafood, and more. I think it safe to say everyone can find several foods they'd enjoy here. Tonight we started with their French Onion Soup.
The broth is light and flavorful, with plenty of melted cheese. For our entrees, we opted for the grilled T-bone steak and Wild Boar on a demi-glaze. Both were cooked to perfection as you'd enjoy in a steak house — grill marks, charred outside, and melts in your mouth. I tasted the Boar, and to my surprise, it did not remind me of pork. It was more like a cross between goose and beef, with a delicious juicy succulence. The meat is darker in color too. We posted to put half the neal into a doggy bag so we could make — selection from their tiered dessert stand. We opted for the chocolate layer cake. It is rich with a fudge icing and decadent. Convenient to the Mineola train station, there is no excuse not to visit the Davenport Press and enjoy the well-stocked cozy bar or ask for a table by their large fireplace. They cater to private parties and intimate weddings here too. This is undoubtedly a place where you will find a delicious meal!
Had a birthday dinner there had the mignonette it's a filet mignon with cognac mushroom sauce it was good but I asked for medium rare came out so rare it was still mooooing. And because it was in a sauce it would of messed up the steak to ask them to cook it more so I had to tough it out so ask for medium if you like it the way I do and so fourth. To be honest the prices for everything in this place I would have gone somewhere else. But it was not my birthday or my choice but when I asked my mom she even said she didn't remember it being that expensive. I've never been but I would never choose to go back. I was with a party of 8 people some of them liked there food some of them didn't so. But the staff was so friendly. But if it was me I would of choose Blackstone Steakhouse or one10 insignia prime if you really wanna do fancy but really good food and I told her that she said well we know for next year.
