Madeira Sports Cafe - Mineola

Great Place to enjoy a Drink ?, Food a Good Conversation ?

I recently dined at Madeira Sports Café with a friend on a quiet Tuesday night. The dual ambiance of a bar and dining area created a welcoming atmosphere. Our meal started with delicious beef pastries as an appetizer. For the main course, my friend enjoyed the pasta a la vodka, while I opted for the grilled shrimp with rice and vegetables. We paired our meals with a glass of Portuguese red and white wine.The attentive service by Mauricio, our waiter, truly stood out. When I praised the white wine without knowing its name, Mauricio went the extra mile, bringing an empty bottle for us to photograph. He also thoughtfully changed the TV channel from loud soccer to horse riding, enhancing our dining experience. Mauricio’s timely and polite check-ins added to the overall positive impression.The food itself was exceptional, and we chose to forgo dessert. With Mauricio’s attentive service and the delectable dishes, I confidently give Madeira Sports Café a perfect 5 out of 5 rating. We’re already looking forward to another delightful dinner at this establishment and highly recommend it to others.

Brought here for a staff lunch. Definitely was surprised based on walking into a bar. Had one of the specials, fish with tomato rice, and it was delicious. First time having Portuguese food and it was fantastic. Wine was great as well, and finished with espresso.

Ordered 2 sandwiches off the lunch menu (pork and beef sandwich). Both came dry and with no toppings (literally a piece of meat between 2 slices of bread). Fries were also dry and stale. No condiments were given in the takeout bag either. Very disappointed as I was expecting better food based on the reviews.

Just another local bar they like the regulars for my experience this is just for adults only. Most of the items on the menu are not available.
