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.
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!

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!
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
I went here for a bridal shower the decor was nice and we were able to decorate above what I expected. I'm giving them 4 stars cuz the food wasn't great it was ok. And the champ punch was all sugar no champagne don't bother.
We celebrated our anniversary here. The food was delicious, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. We were greeted upon arrival, and the waiter was attentive. I had the rack of lamb with spinach and mashed potatoes, and he had the filet mignon with seasonal veggies. Main dining room located in the old printing press room.
A neighborhood staple for years. Consistently excellent food and professional service to match. It's a great place for a drink at the bar too.
There is inside seating and in the summer they also have an outdoor/indoor space.
My first time at this restaurant was a great experience. The staff was amazing and the food backed it up. The dining area and rest of the restaurant was very clean and decor was perfect. I would definitely recommend to anyone and will certainly be back!
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.

Sumptuous Menu and friendly hospitality makes this establishment a joy to visit
Delightful dining experience. Warm atmosphere, Large fireplace.
Delicious food, and VERY caring, helpful management! Assisted my elderly relative out the back exit to shorten his distance to the car. So nice.
My wife and I love the Davenport. We have been dining their for decades, and we have also hosted and attended catered affairs there. We now go a few times a year for a date night or special occasion. I am a fan of their older and timeless decor. While I like some of the decor changes they made, I’d like to see the main dining room be and stay as it was. We love the wait staff at the Davenport Press. Never disappointed with service. Will always love ordering from their blackboard and going with their delicious specials and ending with their Chocolate Moose. They are fairly and decently priced. Their portions are always great, and the service is consistently friendly and professional.
Busy on a Saturday evening— nice atmosphere. Very pleasant meal not bad pricing. Service excellent. Had trout— generous portion. Sauce could of been a little more flavorsome needed some color. Vegetables du jour beautifully cooked. French fries a bit soggy. Crab cake starter had too much filler. Desserts looked lovely but i was full!
