Had dinner T The Blue Mingo Grill on July 28, 2008, and although a friend highly recommended the restaurant, was somewhat reluctant to eat there because of a few negative reviews. However, the food was delicious, the service excellent, and the view, outstanding. My experience was so positive, that I returned the next day for a repeat performance and had... more

We were a little apprehensive about the Blue Mingo after reading some of the reviews, but when we ate there in early July it seemed to us that the restaurant had taken some of the criticism to heart. Service was exceptional, the menu was imaginative, and the views from the porch were great. Prices also seemed to us appropriate; and... more

Reviews on this website are all over the place, but I come down strongly in favor of the Blue Mingo Grill. Maybe their kitchen is erratic, but the night I was there the food was wonderful, and the service fine. It is a beautiful lakeside (on top of the lake, actually) location, which sets a relaxed, vacation mood. We arrived... more

I was not impressed with the selection of food and it was overpriced. The only thing on the menu that I found appetizing was the Maine lobster. It was excellent, but way overpriced. My husband was not as lucky. He ordered shrimp with polenta. Not only did the dish look totally unappetizing when it arrived at the table, but the... more

The mingo is a beautiful place to dine. The scenic view of the lake leaved nothin to be desired. The service is usually not very good, the food is always ok but never spectacular and overpriced, but if you want a nice meal on the lake as i do from time to time it is the best place around for... more

The serene lakeside setting in a marina is the most endearing feature of Blue Mingo, located less than 2 miles north of the main town on Route 80. We were turned away without a reservation last summer, so I guess reservations are more or less essential in the summer season. . After several visits to Cooperstown in the past few... more

I moved to Cooperstown after living in Boston for many years. I travel frequently and like to eat at great places around the world. So, for an insider's view: the Blue Mingo has the best setting of any restaurant around - right on the water. Great view. Exceptional wine list (for this area, depth and breadth across many price ranges).... more

We visited The Blue Mingo Grill on August 28, 2005. First and foremost, the setting and view are exceptional. Just feet from the water's edge, our party was able to relax and soak in the beautiful panorama of Lake Otsego while conversing. Most all in our group were satisfied (or very satisfied) with the food preparation. My filet mignon was... more
