I really appreciate that Mingo is dog-friendly. You do have to sit outside, which isn't an issue for us. However, it was a bit chilly that day. They have some good portable heaters, but unfortunately, there weren't any near where we were sitting. My mom was cold, and I felt a bit chilly too, but my dad didn’t mind. The food was fantastic, and the lobster roll was exceptional. The Ahi Tuna nachos could have had a bit more tuna, but they were still delicious. My dad enjoyed the clam chowder and the potstickers. For dessert, we had the strawberry and blueberry crème brûlée, which was so good and really fresh—I loved it!

My boyfriend was so enamored with the burger he had that he insisted we return just to enjoy it again. He described it as a nice, juicy ½ lb burger, cooked to perfection at medium. The bun was high-quality and absolutely delicious, and they certainly didn't skimp on it. The waterfront view is stunning, and the service was extremely friendly. He couldn't stop raving about how it was the best burger he's had in years. Plus, there were adorable ducks wandering around! The fried pickles and clam chowder were also great. This place is a must-visit if you're nearby!
