The Blue Mingo: a great Cooperstown dining experience by Eric H.
Pardon the pun, but many waterfront restaurants are truly below "C" level when it comes to serving food as good as the atmosphere. Call it resting on their laurels. The Blue Mingo, on the other hand, creates such superb cuisine that it competes with the unbelievably beautiful setting on Lake Otsego. The lime green pristine water, gentle rolling hills and mountains, the scenic boatyard, and the amazingly fresh air would be worth the price of admission even if the Blue Mingo served the worst fast food. They don't and that is a good thing. On our memorable night, we sampled a healthy green salad (translated: no iceberg), bourbon berry baby back ribs and a herb flavored sea bass that rank somewhere in our top five best meals, including some pretty well known choices in Boston, Mass., and Quebec City, Quebec. The menu changes frequently and is brought to you on a chalkboard by the waitstaff. Regarding the waitstaff, we found them to be always courteous, right there when needed, and very friendly. The Blue Mingo is located in a boatyard a few miles from the wonderful little of village of Cooperstown. You have to enter through a bait and tackle shop and a gift shop before finding the soothing environment of the Blue Mingo. From that point on, the night is there to remember long after you've left this incredible lakeside restaurant. The Blue
