Have tried a lot of places and this is the best seafood and best service of any restaurant around LI, so far. Food very flavorful and charming atmosphere. Service was amazing and attentive. Very friendly. Would highly recommend and be going back often.

We had an amazing experience attending Adelphi’s Phi Alpha Theta new member and awards dinner. The food, atmosphere and service were all outstanding (sadly we didn’t get pics of the amazing apps). Definitely can’t wait to go back 😋😋

Mineola is home to many who trace their roots to Portugal. Lisbon Cafe transports you to vacation mode immediately. A very pleasant maitre'd greets you with the cocktail menu. They bring a yummy bread basket to you while perusing their extensive menu and daily specials. We enjoyed a sublime order of steamed class. Fresh, savory broth of garlic, wine, and herbs bathe baby clams urging you to dip your bread to further satiate your palette. For dinner, we ordered the grilled rack of lamb cooked to perfection nestled atop a bed of creamy mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. Additionally, one ordered a seafood medley with salmon. This, too, brought rave reviews. And despite our full belly, we managed to indulge in a decadent slice of the smoothest rich chocolate cake and creamy Creme Brule. And let us not forget the excellent live entertainment on Friday evenings. It added a festive atmosphere.

We found a hidden gem in Mineola! I dig the restaurant’s style. They have “outdoor” seatings with glass ceilings so you won’t get wet when it rains, and some shadows to make sure the sun won’t be too harsh on the eyes. The salad was good, and the paella was fantastic - portion was good for two people. Service was perfect. ❤️

Best Portuguese restaurant in NY. Located in the heart of Mineola. Phenomenal experience! Delicious top notch food, waiters are very attentive, and super nice atmosphere. I Have been here multiple times, and every time is an amazing experience all around. I always take my out of town guests here, as the food is always superb. Definitely a lifetime customer!

Had the steamed clams the cod bolinhos the lamb chops, steak and shrimp and pasta and chicken. Food was good. Worst thing was one of the servers had dirty nails. Don't have ppl serving food with dirty nails. It kills everything.

Incredible staff incredible service fine dining cloth tablecloth. The only reason why I did not give five stars even though the octopus was a large portion very tender however it was over salted and the bread was not warm. Super restaurant great service will go back again.

Can't believe it took us so long to come dine at Lisbon Cafe! We live locally but it's our first time trying this place and we were all pleasantly surprised. First of all, like other reviews, the service was GREAT! We were brought to the downstairs dining room and the waiter/host was very caring and made sure my parents got down ok. Our waiter was great too and recommended several delicious entrees to us. We really enjoyed all entrees we ordered. The paella we gotten was a bit more soupy than expected but delicious nonetheless. We'll definitely be coming back again.

This is a great place for traditional Portuguese cooking. They have great meat dishes, but seafood is the star ⭐️. Clean facilities. Outdoor dining is available. Private room for parties are available. Nice staff. Reasonably priced, Card payments are accepted. Give this place a try. We will definitely be going back.

I've grown up around a lot of Portuguese food. I'm no expert, but I do have a fond appreciation for the cuisine. My pallet consists of home made Portuguese food and very rarely goes out and seeks restaurants to eat at. I found this place by accident while looking for places to go and try. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants an introduction to Portuguese food. It's got a great homey atmosphere, brick walls and wood beams. you'll forget you're in NY once you step into the restaurant. The food, especially the entrees are on the pricey side. But it's well worth it. The octopus we had was extremely tender. The Cod was flavorful and smooth. The potato and kale soup, an absolute classic and will warm you up. We went on a day where a few families were celebrating. Service was rather slow because of this. But I wish they had some waiters focus solely on walk-ins while the others focus on the parties.

Food is slow compared to its quality. Environment is nice. Worth to try if you travel to Long Island tho.

Took my son here tonight for his birthday and what a disappointment, we waited about 15mins just to get salad and calamari and shrimp appetizer, then another 30mins for linguine and seafood rice or arroz. Atmosphere was acceptable live singing though bgm louder than vocal, then the food salty and felt like they get their seafood from a deli or local supermarket, muscle were only shells barely any meat, one lobster was split into my two main courses, seafood barely had any meat in it. Also bring cash to save yourself $4.5 for using your cc, though we are not coming back
