"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."

"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!"
