The Davenport Press — Restaurant in Town of North Hempstead

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...

We came to celebrate our Anniversary. We have been here many times before including we had our wedding here. But this time the service and food left a lot to be desired. My steak was at first rare when I asked for medium. My wife's vegetables were cold. The waiter asked me to to cut open the steak as though I had no idea how to judge if the steak was rare of course I had cut it open to see that it was cooked properly before he asked. I repeated twice it should be medium instead it came out like leather not red in middle. I ate it . When it didn't look right to the chef they should have started with a new steak. When we finished with our main course and it was more then obvious they did take away our plates after a few minutes but didn't offer us coffee or the desert menu finally I said to the waiter can we have a check. We really did want desert It was a bummer. To us it was a joyous time that was ruined. Also they never refilled my wife's water. On the way out Dennis who I assume was a manager Asked us how everything was we told him what I just related and all he could say was have a good evening. Just to keep things in context we started with onion soup Its not like we came in for...

I literally met my future wife at Davenport Press. I was visiting New York City on a class trip. By happenstance I met a really sweet girl online. We instantly connected and decided to meet at a half way point between the city and long island. We selected Davenport Press, and I set out to Penn Station from Times Square on January 6th, 2022 during rush hour. After navigating to LIRR for the first time, I met her and entered into an empty restaurant where we were seated promptly.

Although we were not focused on the food much, we both selected the Chicken Parmigiana. I hardly remember the taste as I was focused on someone else. But we returned there yesterday, December 27th, 2022 for our 11th month anniversary and I can confirm the chicken parm was delicious! The menu consists mostly seafood, but Davenport Press is a nice and affordable option if you are looking for a fancier night out or date night. Shoutout to Jose for taking our picture last night and goodluck with your degree in Physical Therapy. This restaurant will forever be...
