Heart of Portugal (www.heartofportugalrestaurant.com) is truly a great restaurant. They are located in Mineola. We had our second party there (a communion) and food & service were outstanding. We have been there many times before for dinner, and whether it was for dinner or a party, we have always been pleased with everything.
The food is Portuguese (obviously) which means a lot of seafood. If you have never had Portuguese cooking, I would call it a cross between Spanish and Northern Italian (to give you a guesstimate of what to expect).
Service is outstanding. The owner Mannie makes sure you are happy, and makes sure service is smooth and consistent. Waiters do not hover, but still manage to make sure you have everything you want when you want it. Visit Heart of Portugal to see how service "done right" is done. The lost "art of anticipation" is practiced by the waiters. Have one roll left in your breadbasket? There is no, "would you like some more bread?" Rather it just appears there. Same for water, wine, and basically everything. Want to literally be treated like a king? Go to Heart of Portugal.
Food and Portions: What is better than a variety of well prepared food? Lots of it. My family is all Italian, and as you would expect, we like to eat. You will *NEVER* leave hungry from Heart of Portugal. Even better, you will not leave poor either. Prices are reasonable.
Atmosphere - they have an inside and outside. Inside is warm and friendly. Outside is great in the summer.
Overall: This is a great place to go for an adventure (with or without the kids).
