As a culinary enthusiast, Mingo is the supreme example of fine dining forced into a suburban environment. Spawned from Cafe Mingo in NW Portland, this restaurant cuts no corners when it comes to authenticity, ambiance, and excellence. I first dined at Mingo when they had been open for barely a month. The food was amazing but the service was shaky. Although it was probably due to the hype and newness of it all. \r
\r
In every time since then, the service has been knowledgeable, engaging and genuine. Not only could Mingo survive on their menu alone, they choose to have amazing food with warm and professional staff. \r
\r
This is ""THE"" place for patrons looking for a downtown experience just around the corner. They have a unique, fabulous wine selection, great seasonal entrees and a rustic Italian approach that gives any Portland Restaurant a run for their money. --HANDS DOWN!\r

Thanks Mingo :o) \r
