A real find tucked away along the shore of Lake Otsego. The waitress (as all that we saw) was super friendly and efficient. The food was reasonably priced and delicious. We ordered batter fried dill pickles, fish tacos with sweet potato fries, and crab cake platter with asparagus and fries. Atmosphere was perfectly casual and charming. Seating on the patio or below next to the dock. Very scenic.
Luckily we came early enough we were able to get a spot directly on the water. Next time I would do one on the upper deck as I feel he would get a better View not just of the boats directly next to you. Service was very good. We did try the Cooperstown cosmopolitan and it wasn't too shabby. The lobster meal and New York strip meal was very good. I'd never had au gratin potatoes in this manner and they were not too shabby. The roasted broccoli was fantastic the asparagus that came with the lobster was a little Bland( next time we might ask for a little parmesan on it) and a little firm but still went very well with the lobster and the au gratin potatoes. This was a redo meal from our anniversary dinner at another establishment on the water that disappointed us so thankfully we were very pleased and we will definitely return.
My husband and I dined here. The service was attentive and friendly. We started with crab cakes. No fake crab meat here. Yummy! Then we had a lobster roll with sweet potato fries and a Mingo steak roll (the sauce! So good!) with regular fries. Everything was fresh and delicious. The dessert was out of this world! We had the chocolate torte. To die for! We highly recommend it. I wish we had paused long enough to take a few more pictures. Compliments to the chef!!!
Went here for dinner to celebrate getting engaged 💍 while on vacation! This place was a very quiet & intimate spot .We sat outside with a perfect view. Definitely recommend the lobsta pasta, crab cakes & the chocolate torte!
Lovely views of the lake from the covered porch or lakeside. Fast and friendly service.
Check out the fantastic gift shop on your way in or out.
It was our first day here in Cooperstown we arrived pretty late and it was only 15 minutes before they closed
We were pretty hungry because of traveling all day
They were so nice and still served us a delicious meal
Beautiful view of the lake wonderful customer service
Nice little gift shop as well
Appreciate the hospitality
Service was great, food is always amazing, chef was able to do a bit of a requested modification to replicate a prior menu item and it turned out absolutely perfect 🤩 I always feel very taken care of when visiting the Mingo 💗
Arrived early on a summer Saturday eve and we were seated right away for a table of six without reservations. Yay! Service was attentive. Food arrived super fast. Food was good and well prepared but none of the meals we ordered were memorable except for the sweet potato fries. The view and atmosphere, however, is wonderful. Coconut shrimp, lobster roll, sleeping lion burger, shrimp wrap, steamed clams.
Must go if you are in coopstown
Amazing view and a lovely place to shop
A little pricey so go out for a celebration if you are tight on the budget this would not be your place
Drinks were great too try the Mingo margarita and the martinis
But the food especially the seafood is amazing! We loved the coconut shrimp, clam chowder, crab cakes, Brussel sprouts and fish tacos!
Our server Molly was great!
You never know when they are open or not. The web site hours are not always correct. We drive an hour to get there only to find it closed sometimes even if the web site says they are open. If you call first no one ever answers the phone - they have a pre-recorded message that refers you to their web site. It will allow you to leave a message but what good is that? It's hit and miss as far as if the place is open. Food was GREAT and the place is GREAT.. but it's a roll of the dice IF it's open, or not. So have a plan B. One time we drove there and the owner was in the parking lot and he said they can't find employees anymore. We explained we drive an hour and also he should update his web site and phone message but he didn't much care about any of that. Maybe he was just having a bad day. Hopefully we will get accurate information about his operating hours because as I said the food was excellent.
