This restaurant is okay, I probably won't go back again because food was much more expensive than it was worth. We live on the north shore and there are so many good restaurants that are much better and more worth the expense. I ordered the fish and chips and was surprised that the haddock really had no flavor, which made me realize that although this place is on the water and in a fishing town, the fish isn't fresh. The service was good, our waitress was attentive and the restaurant does have nice ambience. Overall, not worth it and there are many better restaurants. read more

Stopped at Minglewoods while visiting the Rockport area last weekend.. the fried pickles and clam chowder were both 10/10. Still thinking about those pickles! read more

Nice outdoor patio by the water. Good prompt service. Lunch was delicious. I would love to make it for dinner next time.

Always consistently good. Basic pub food executed very well. Great burgers, salads, a delicious cauliflower app, sushi and our favorite clam chowder--so creamy and flavorful. Fun drinks, atmosphere and always good service. A go-to for a quick dinner or for trivia! read more

First time ordering from Mingle since we are out of towners. Easy to order online and modify to your taste. Great variety and sushi was great. read more

We had a great friendly server and great outside seats. The fried scallops were amazing as was the tartar sauce. French fries cooked perfectly. The calamari was cooked perfectly ant the "dipping sauce " was awesome. I prefer Mexican corn off the cob but this tasted good. This place is very reasonable. read more

My wife and I were visiting for the day and found this amazing spot. I wish I could remember our servers name as she was great. I had the special Pad Thai sushi and it was delicious. My wife had the fish tacos and the fish was fresh and not fried. I asked our server if i could just have one fried clam as i love them but couldn't eat a whole platter of fried food and she brought me several. When we drive up next time I'll definitely be back. read more

Very good. We went for lunch and had the spicy tuna roll and the blackened swordfish tacos with rice and black beans. The swordfish was a bit on the dry side but still tasty. The sushi was our favorite. So tasty and fresh. Not too spicy. Service was great. Restaurant is cute and they have outdoor seating. Give it a try if you are in the area! We went twice when just here for a few days. read more

Big comfortable place. They have music and trivia which distracts sometimes. Friendly, attentive staff. They mix several cuisines which is fun and they have a wide selection of unique food selections including decent sushi. Solid dishes. Something for everyone. read more

First time here. There were five of us. Loved the decor. It was Thursday night acoustic. We got a booth in the back. We had called ahead for a table and was told that they would hold the table outside for us. However when we got there they said they don't hold tables. A little snafu but no biggee. Jamie was our waiter. Couldn't figure out if he was trying to be funny or a jerk. I'll go with being funny and say he was on top of it. Service was great. I'm not a seafood eater so when ordering something outside of seafood it can be tough. Literally! However, I ordered steak tips and they were delicious! I will definitely be going again! All five enjoyed their meals! Not one complaint! Tuna Poke, linguine and clams, baked haddock, sushi, and my steak tips. read more

SO disappointed with this place. We ordered take out after a long day. I ordered salmon with Brussels sprouts... they were BURNED completely. The meal was very expensive too! Mg boyfriend got a bacon burger which was cooked medium-rare when he asked for well done. (I loved the burger bc that how I like my meat cooked). For spending $60 AND picking up our own food.... I will NEVER recommend this place to anyone. However, my boyfriend said the inside of the testy looked amazing when he picked up the food. read more

Good bar. I enjoy the run and cokes here as well as their fry's. The volcano roll is the best

It's definitely a fun place to checkout when you're visiting Gloucester, MA. If you get to dine outside, it's quite a treat. The menu is somewhat eclectic with bar eats, American and Asian main dishes and sushi. I opted for sushi, since their maki rolls sounded delicious! Felt like the idea and ingredients made sense, but it wasn't as tasty as I had hoped. Not quite sure where the execution went wrong, perhaps it's the fish to sauce ratio..?? The rolls were definitely pretty though. Service was slow and forgot some items, but was quick to give the check.... without our desert. Food: 3 Vibe: 4 Service: 2 read more

I was seeing a friend's show in Gloucester and hadn't eaten all day and every restaurant near Rocky Neck was closed. By the time she got done and we had walked a good ways looking for stuff, I was starving. Walking back from the last place that was closed, we encountered an electrician and asked him for a recommendation. He recommended Minglewood and we somehow stumbled on it, not knowing the area. When I first entered, I was bummed because the football game was on every tv and it was blaring. We sat outside and, as soon as we started eating, I knew we had chosen the right place. I had a Cobb salad which normally would have been all lettuce with just a little bit of toppings. This salad was loaded. The lettuce was large pieces of Bibb lettuce and the toppings were wonderful. The blackened chicken was so flavorful. I had a pomegrante limeaid that was incredibly flavorful. I had orange chili fried cauliflower in place of chicken wings and that was great, too. I spoke at length with Sarah, the manager and she was open and friendly and kept complimenting my food choices which happened to be her favorites, so, of course, I felt really good about that. It was more expensive than what I typically pay but it was a totally worth it experience. read more

Very delicious I got the Red Sox roll and it was super fresh tasting and spiced really well. Boyfriend got the Cajun style fish tacos and loved it. We sat outside and the atmosphere was so nice, we loved watching the boats pull in to pick people up and our server was prompt and helpful. Overall would go here again for sure read more

Just a heads up when ordering takeout Check your containers for condiments we ordered fish and chips for the second time no tartar sauce, no coleslaw, no ketchup for the french fries by the time we realized we were already back in Rockport. Really didn't think we had to ask for tartar sauce with fish and chips.r read more

Had nachos, fried pickles and tots. All 5/5. Service was great. Our waitress was very kind and interactive. Look no further if you're looking for responsible eats and drinks. Chao. read more

Fun place for cocktails and sushi on the water. We enjoyed the bang bang shrimp app too quickly and missed the picture. Music was a bit loud inside but we sat on the water and weren't bugged read more

The ambiance is nice and the service has always been good but the food is inconsistent. I have eaten there twice in the last month and the food ranged from hot (green beans) to ice cold (mashed potatoes). The steak tips and fisherman's platter were decent but the pulled chicken bbq was ice cold and not great tasting. It is also odd that they do not offer a basic chicken sandwich on the menu. read more

Upon entering, I was a little concerned that the food would be a bit "pubby". You know, burgers and fries, etc. But the food was a 10 and it was clear the kitchen knew what they were doing. The fish was fresh and amazing. The sushi was excellent. Honestly, everything was great. We were so impressed with the food, we went back there the next afternoon for lunch. And I had literally the best fish sandwich I have ever had in my life. Nice job!! read more

Where is the seasoning in the batter? Throw a little salt or pepper in it or something. Old Bay. Super bland fish and chips. Service is amazing though. Been here twice and the atmosphere is great and the waitresses. First time I had fish and chips. Second time I ordered the same thing for redemption and it still was bland. I wouldn't say it sucked cause the fish is fresh. But the batter......dang. Come on man read more

A few months back, I booked the Minglewood Harborside for a wedding rehearsal dinner , the future date was 04/25/24. I made the right decision! The relaxed ambience of the 'Captain Courageous Room' with its modern rustic decor, soft lighting & bar was so inviting ..yes, a great place for our rehearsal dinner but could easily accommodate a cocktail party, a baby shower, or a sit down dinner..it has a great vibe! The food was outstanding, I ordered platters of Bang Bang shrimp , calamari, chicken tenders & hummus with naan & veggies..beer & wine & people walked around , socialized..after we had a sit down dinner.The manager, Zach Sears & I had already discussed the menu & each guest received one for their personal choices. We started with homemade clam chowder or onion soup or salad , all great choices..and there were 3 entree choices; Pan seared scallops with polenta & sweet corn and the Baked haddock & BBQ steak tips were served with mashed potatoes or truffle fries & choice of vegetable and for dessert, baked chocolate chip cookies! My son Tim & Eden had a wonderful time...the bridal party and guests had so many compliments about the food ..we stayed a long time, talking and really had a great evening. Special thank you to the bartender who answered all my questions that evening and such great all around service. Thank you Zack! read more

Really sad because we really liked the place and the staff. The nachos were really good big enough to share for two people and be a meal. However, we ordered a normal burger my boyfriend had and I ordered the bbq pulled pork sandwich. Mine wasn't appetizing so I didn't eat it. But my poor bf ate his burger and later that night got food poisoning. Projectile vomit and everything. We know it was the burger because aside from the nachos that we both ate. That was his only other meal he had. So regretfully this gets one star. read more

Bartender kyah is on point food is wild and the atmosphere is good come in and get your drink on and stomach full.

First of all, this place needs to figure out what they want to be...sushi, barbecue, burgers...??? We had lunch there yesterday & I was shocked that there were barely any seafood offerings on the menu. We both ordered the clam chowder, which might have been tastier if not for the overwhelming rosemary flavor. Then I ordered the "fish" sandwich (what type of fish wasn't explained). It was bland, I mean zero flavor & it had clearly been fried from frozen as it was leaking water with each bite. The apple slaw was pretty tasteless as well, I mean, I didn't taste any apple. My friend had the salmon sandwich & had the same experience. The space is great & could do well if they served fresh seafood; I mean they're right on the harbor!! Not a fried clam or a lobster roll anywhere to be found!! Our server was very nice & attentive & the tip we left her reflected that. read more

I've enjoyed Minglewood since it's opening, even when it was lat 43. The deck is awesome spot in the summer and my general experience has always been delicious food and a great atmosphere. Last night my girlfriend and I ordered take out, I got my self the whole belly clam plate. When I got home I realized they had given me calamari! I understand mistakes happen but there's a pretty huge difference between the two. I was so hungry by the time I got home I didn't call them back. Disappointed to say the least. read more

We hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks at Minglewood Harborside, and from the moment I first emailed Zack, everything went perfectly, easily, and smoothly! The food was delicious, every staff member was lovely, and the private room was ideal. And I cannot stress how easy and stress free the organization was. Zack responded quickly with answers to every little question and he personally made sure all we had to do was show up and have a great time with great food & drink. Thank you Zack and everyone at Minglewood Harborside for a perfect night! read more

On the way home from a sports game very tired and hungry ordered 2 orders of dumplings and 2 orders of Cajun fish tacos, along with sushi and bang bang shrimp. We were looking forward to this dinner instead we received the sushi dumplings 1 order of Cajun fish tacos and no bang bang shrimp. We called the order in and clearly they need some new staff. And to make it worse the tacos were extremely fishy with almost no flavor. DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

super yummy And I love the shirley temple, staff goes overboard to help amazing, I was Greeted by a hostess named Karlee and she walked me to my table and welcomed me :) she make sure I was all set and happy with my experience! read more

This restaurant is earning 5 stars from me because of the service. Yes, the place has a relaxing vibe. Yes, the live music was great. Yes, the chowder was quite tasty. However, my meal was a bit wonky and the manager made it right. That's worth 5 stars in my book. That is the sign of outstanding customer service. read more

Serenitee what did you do??? What used to be a cool restaurant with a funky bar is now a dark and gloomy place. The bar is much too large. Reminds me of a 99 or the anchor in beverly. Ok. I'll have the chowder and tuna sliders since I'm here. "Sorry we no longer have the tuna sliders. I guess we need to print new menus." Haddock sandwich then. Tasty but the lettuce and tomato are on the bottom and the haddock keeps sliding off the sandwich. Sigh Oh and the tuna sliders are still on the website menu. That should be easy to fix.... read more

The staff and Zach, the manager, provide the best service and welcoming environment. The sushi is among the freshest I've had. The baked haddock and clam chowder are excellent as well. Gorgeous deck and nice atmosphere. read more

We stopped in for dinner on a Saturday evening. It was packed and we were told we could put our name on the list, about a 35 minute wait. 15 minutes later we received a text saying our table was ready. We got the chowder, spicy lobster sushi roll and the fishmans platter. The chowder was great with a smoky bacon flavor. The spicy lobster sushi roll ($20) was a traditional maki roll with lobster on the inside, topped with crab meat, avocado and a spicy aioli. It was so delicious! The fishmans platter ($30) came with a huge piece of haddock, clams, calamari, shrimp and French fries. It was massive and definitely worth the price. I got two cosmos, both varied in taste drastically (probably different bartenders), but were also very weak. I would stick to wine or beer next time. Worth a trip! read more

We came on a warm sunny day and they sat us in the sun so I asked for an umbrella table and was told no unless I want to get back on the waitlist. I proceeded to watch a couple who was seated next to us, after we were seated that were allowed to switch to an umbrella table. The hospitality is lacking. read more

Although our bartender was extremely friendly while we waited, we did not have a good experience with takeout. I decided to give minglewood a second chance after my first experience and it was not great. While we waited we ordered a drink and buffalo cauliflower as an app. Halfway through eating the app, we bit into a Buffalo fried scallop... GROSS. Ordered over $100 worth of food for takeout, took over an hour to prepare and it was a simple order. Live 5 minutes down the street and all the food was soggy, the steak bomb was made with like hamburger meat and the sushi roll was so small for $20. read more

We went here for my mother's birthday and thought it was still Latitude. Fairly disappointed to find out that Latitude is gone but willing to give it a try. First off, our waitress was Tammy and she deserves 100 stars. She was so nice and really took the time to help my mother order a drink she liked, plus told us about the app so we got a free appetizer for signing up. She was awesome. The rest of the experience was just so so. The noise level was off the charts. I had a hard time hearing anyone near me and really had a hard time with how loud it was. They eventually had a musician playing but we could barely hear him over the noise. I did like the huge television by where we were sitting - nice to watch the Bruins game. The menu is just so so. I had been hoping for seafood but nothing looked that compelling. We tried the sushi and it was good. Food took forever to come though. For drinks, my mother and I tried the Honey Bee and it needs to be renamed the Lemon Bomb. Ugh. Possibly worse drink I've had. My mother gave hers away but I was determined and drank mine. My mother then ordered a pain killer and hated it. I liked it though. Very nice with the creamy coconut. Tammy finally helped her with a drink and it was great. Thank you again, Tammy! Side note - it was so loud that I thought her name was Pammy when she introduced herself and didn't realize til near the end that it was Tammy. Our main dishes were again just so so (spotting a trend?). We had an Impossible Burger. My dining partner loved it, I thought it was okay. I kind of feel that is overrated across the board, but I digress. I went with the steak bomb on a Virgilio's roll. The french fries were great. The sandwich wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. Very spicy with not much meat. We took most of it home. My mother got what I should have ordered which was the root beer grilled steak tips. Yum. Not overly grilled at all (which is why I didn't order as I hate over grilled meat) and a delicious flavor. Hers was supposed to come with potatoes but she got truffle fries instead which none of us were a fan of. Everything taking forever and the really obnoxious noise levels made this a not again type place for us. If you don't mind the noise though they do have a lot of drinks and a diverse menu plus very caring staff so I'd give it a go. The noise was just too much for me. read more

On a hungry Friday night, a delivery from a restaurant two blocks away seems like a safe bet. Sides are soggy, onion rings seem formerly frozen, fish tacos nearly inedible and the $10 delivery fee (fee plus tip) got me food left waiting at someone else's door. Steak bomb was ok. Serenetee restaurants usually do a better job. Thank goodness for peanut butter sandwiches. read more
