My parents love this place they eat here every visit. We arrived in a large group of 14 persons and we were accommodated. The rolls came out nice and warm. I had the shrimp and crab pasta which was pretty good. I tried a regular margarita but it was more sweet and sour than anything else. The restaurant is an open air spot right on the beach so it's a nice sight to enjoy on the island. It's a nice place for a romantic dinner or family dinner. read more

you are out of your mind if you eat here...tonight a power outage and they continued to try and cook in the dark....my escargot was woefully undercooked and we walked out...instead of an apology they said it happens all the time because the can't afford a back up generato....AWFUL read more

This was our first trip to St Thomas and I definitely wanted a romantic dinner on the beach while we were here and Mim's did not disappoint. The atmosphere is perfect and you have an ocean view from very table. The food was so delicious, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. We started with the crab dip appetizer, super yummy. My boyfriend got the crab legs with the potatoes as a side and I got the baked stuffed lobster with the rice. I ate every last bite of it, which is definitely saying something because I rarely leave a restaurant without leftovers to take home. I don't have a bad thing to say about this place, and we will definitely be coming back here every time we're on the island. read more

Mim's Seaside Bistro - Crab legs, baked stuffed lobster - Seafood Near Me - St Thomas, Virgin Islands

We were told the new chef was a problem. Wrong! Every thing was delicious! Buffalo shrimp; coconut shrimp; red snapper almandine; lobster; wahoo. All great! Service excellent too! read more

This was my second time at Mim's (first was nine years ago), and it's one of my favorites on the island! The restaurant is right at the water, so you can see and hear the waves rolling in throughout your meal. There area variety of dishes, even for those who don't care for seafood, but everyone in my party ordered some sort of fish. I tried the Blacked Mahi Mahi, which is smothered in Brie and mango chutney. The fish was perfectly cooked and didn't have that "fishy" taste. Others had the wahoo and the sesame ahi tuna. The Mim's Rum Punch was delicious, but my margarita was average. Definitely want to return for the all you can eat shrimp! read more

The food was amazing! The wait staff was on par with our favorite high-end restaurant in the states. Very attentive. We asked for a drink the bartender was unfamiliar with, yet she delivered with perfection! Highly recommend the stuffed lobster, tuna tartar and shrimp creole. The quality is making every other restaurant on St. Thomas feel inferior. We will back before we leave!! read more

Nice view, rude lady as hostess, in back of dumpy hotel, extremely over priced small portions. 34.95 for a plate of noodles very little seafood in it, local lobster starting at 50+ dollars, kids meals 14.95 to 18.95, served in Styrofoam i guess due to covid. We had a nice time but definitely was one of the most overpriced meals I have eaten flavor was fair at best. Even 14.95 for bread pudding and ice cream. 100% would not recommend this restaurant and 110% won't return. read more

Once you find it, it is a nice surprise. You can't beat the view. Food was very decent and the prices were not completely over the top. Make a reservation. It is small and busy. Staff was great. From being greeted and seated to paying the bill everyone was beyond friendly. read more

This restaurant is not worth it at all. We had a reservation for 630PM and we arrived the hostess stated it was for 6PM. She was very rude and gave us a table with no view. Horrible customer service snd would not even talk to us when were asking questions. Obviously she did not want to make the situation right or want our business. The hostess words: "this is what we have, take it or leave it". Her exact words! This is the view she was offering to us. See pics read more

Blows my mind that people love this place. Food is very average and outdated, expensive, view is nice but decor is trashed. Feels like sitting around a rundown pool / which, you are. Definitely living off a long gone nostalgia. read more

We started with calamari. It was old,overcooked . The garden salad was not very interesting, served in a small bowl. The food was just ok, quite the disappointment. We waited 1 hour for our food. The best part of this restaurant was the ocean view and our server who very friendly. read more

We had the most amazing dinner at mim's. We arrived without a reservation but instead of making us feel unworthy, they made us feel like family. We had a little trouble figuring out where we could get some Florida Lobster and when we realized they had it.... My husband was sold on having dinner there! The view is amazing, but most of all the staff is the best we have found on the island. They were so friendly, we laughed with them, and enjoyed a wonderful evening. Our food was amazing!!!! I had shrimp scampi and asked for the shrimp to be blackened, which the graciously did, and my husband, of coarse had the Lobster! He was so happy! It was all I wanted was to see his smile. It was our 26 year anniversary and that is his favorite meal. They were so sweet to recognize our anniversary with a sparkler and a song. This night will be a very found memory for us. read more

Amazing! We have been visiting St. Thomas now for a couple of days and went to Mim's Seaside Bistro based on a recommendation from a St. Thomas resident and we are so so happy we did. The view is absolutely spectacular, the food was delicious and the staff was so welcoming and kind- our waitress was fabulous. Definitely one of the best restaurant experiences we've ever had! Recommending to all St. Thomas visitors for a nice night out. read more

Food was fine but nothing to write home about. Came here on vacation and me and my party were in search of some place good on the island. Everyone we spoke with recommended this place so we had high expectations. We ordered the lobster which was good and seemed fresh but lacked a lot of flavor. I really wanted to love it but it didn't have that oomph. Our waitress was a gem. read more

We ate at Mim's on our last night in St Thomas. We had Bubbles as our server. She treated us like Family, and made our experience great from start to finish. The food was excellent! We had lobster curry (the small was HUGE), Seafood Fra Diavolo, Mahi, Chicken Parmesan, and our son had fettucine alfredo. The ambiance was great, as we were right by the water. Unfortunately the rain got us, but they fixed that for us by moving us under the covered area. My only complaint was the price. The food was pretty expensive, and I felt that they weren't necessarily worth the prices. read more

Cold food, rude service. We made a reservation for an outside table. When we checked in, we were told the reservation did not specify outside table. No problem, we'll wait for one. After ordering drinks/food, our food arrived 20-30 min later, but the two snapper piccata were cold, not even warm. Both piccatas were very bland with little flavor. Baked potatoes were warm (not hot). Rice was cold. The two snapper almandine were tasty and warm but not hot. This was a Tuesday night with many unfilled tables. Three of our party of four have been here before with better food and service but we all agreed that except for the view, there is no reason for us to dine here again. We received a cold vibe from the owner/hostess since we arrived. On our way out, I smiled and said bye but the owner/hostess gave us a look of disdain. It felt like a slap in the face after the poor service. My sister lives here and used to refer customers here but never again. My sister said I should have left just one star. (But I did enjoy the snapper almondine.) read more

Our waitress Shamara was fantastic! She was very attentive and energetic. Our group had blackened salmon and shrimp (great), blackened swordfish (good), famous coconut curry lobster (good),crab legs (difficult to get out). For appetizers we had the coconut shrimp (great), Brie and apples (amazing), crab dip (good). All of the drinks were also delicious. Mim's has a great atmosphere and you're right on the water. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends! read more

Made reservations for 7:30pm and we were seated within 15 minutes of reservation time. Put in our drink order only to have the waitress come back and tell us they were out of soda and frozen drink, really out of frozen drinks? Put in our food order and then waited and waited and waited aaaaaaaaaaaannnddd waited. Took over an hour and 10 minutes to get our food. Now I know we're on island time but even this was slow for island time. Food was at best ok, bland not much flavor. Two of us ordered shrimp scampi pasta two ordered chicken parmigiana and the other two ordered shrimp Alfredo and salmon Alfredo pasta. Big shrimp in the scampi but no flavor. Chicken parm was grilled chicken with cheese on top, should be pounded, breaded and pan fried chicken, chicken was also dry and tuff. The two Alfredo dishes were pretty good. People working there are very friendly and nice but wouldn't go back and eat here because the food just doesn't cut it. read more

Great dinner with beautiful sunset beachside. Service and food was delicious. Worth the country drive thru the island. Ask for bubbles, not only was she a great server also great photograph. The Curry lobster was delicious. This restaurant is one to return to every time we go to the island. read more

Mim's is pricey but worth the experience. The location is amazing and the service was top notch. I first visited in 2019 when on the island for business and returned this week with my 22 yr old son for a fun trip. Wanted to have a yummy dining experience in the water. Coconut curry lobster is divine. My son had the seafood pasta and loved it! read more

Worth the cab ride for sure :) Beautiful seaside setting, fantastic food. My wife had the curry lobster and I had the island style fish with rice, both very flavorful! read more

We found this place on yelp by reviews and the menu and pictures and reviews were great so we figured we would try it. It is about a 23 min taxi ride from Charlotte Amalie area where we stayed. The service, the views, the vibe... amazing. The wind was blowing just enough and it truly felt like eating in paradise. We got the crab dip (which was so good!!!) Served with wonton chips. My husband got the strawberry shortcake drink, I had the margarita. I ordered the shrimp and crab pasta and it was delicious, and my husband ordered the baked stuffed lobster. SO SO GOOD. We also got dessert. For 3 drinks, app, two entrées, and two deserts we spent right at $200. Which we expected for such amazing fresh food! Would definitely go back. read more

This is the worst restaurant i have ever been to except for its view! The service was extremely slow! The "local fish" was like eating rubber! We had the grilled Mahi Mahi and it was almost inedible, the waitress brought us Martinis that we did not ask for and she charged us for it. Dinner for four with 6 drinks in total was 380$! A total tourist trap ripoff on this island! It was a total disappointment and i do not recommend this place to anyone! read more

The food is fantastic. The hostess and their vibe the way they work together to make a great evening for all the tourist . They have no discrimination they love all things all people . To whom ever visits here be kind and you will receive an abundance of love with the best food on the island . Hospitality can't be matched on the island . I will definitely be back and recommend every and anyone I know to Mim's seaside Bistro read more

Got a recommendation to go here through our resort...I wish we would have stuck with our original plan to go somewhere else. Anyway, its set right overlooking the water, which is nice. I dont really know how to describe it. The color scheme reminded me of my grandmothers house when I was younger. There are cheap tablecloths that are like seafoam. Plastic plate wear that looks like its from the 70's. Mim's looks like it has seen a better day. Our server was interesting. No introduction, just are you ready to order? It was weird. We got the conch fritters to start. I was excited because I havent had these in a very long time. Talk about disappointment. The came out half burnt with no flavor and an old orange dipping sauce...boo. Next up, I ordered the wahoo from a recommendation and we got the shrimp and lobster pasta. Both we ok. Nothing like wow. I was disappointed. For being on an island, I thought the fresh fish/seafood would be better. Also, prices are ridiculous. Basically everything is $24 and up. We were going to do the lobster, but after the conch fritters came out the way they did....we didnt want to spend $70+ on a mediocre lobster. Overall, when we go back to St Thomas...we will not be frequenting here. I will definitely hit up Thirteen, which was my original plan but was swayed to try some more "authentic" island cuisine...booo! read more

From reading all the reviews my hopes were high for Mims. However our experience was severely lackluster! Our reservation was at 6:30 and in their defense it seems everyone showed up at the same time. Our party of three added to about 6 other tables seated at once. I wasn't concerned because they had 5-6 servers working. The problem was they had one bartender and apparently even water has to come from the bar! It was 30+ minutes before we had water and bread and another 15 mins to get our drinks. HUGE disappointment in the drinks. Watered down very bland " specialty" drinks. My wife sent hers back and ordered Diet Coke. It was all syrup and not much soda!! After an hour wait our food came. The snapper my wife and mother in law ordered was ok but the server kept messing up the sides and sauces. My stuffed lobster was HUGE! It was pretty good I will admit. Probably the only redeeming part of the evening. I don't normally leave bad reviews based on one visit but it's my vacation and I'll probably never be back to St Thomas and certainly not Mims! read more

We heard of this place from a captain of a ride we took and ended up finding a 10% off coupon on the restaurant's direct website (see attached photo). We ordered 2 appetizers, 4 entrees, and a couple of drinks. The food was decent and the server was nice. I explained the discount coupon as I ordered our meals and the server said he knew of a similar coupon but he would ask Mim (owner). Total bill came to over $200 and they refused to honor our discount because their "bookkeeper needs it printed out to create a paper trail" (I had the coupon from their website on my phone). Normally I would understand but nowhere was this listed on the website or on the online coupon. I pushed back and requested the sever go back to talk to Mim again. Again he came back with a lame excuse stating "they are in the process of updating the website and that coupon is no longer valid" (again terrible excuse and not my problem). The server felt terrible and was obviously caught between a bitter boss and an rightfully upset customer. Fearing I would ruin our night by making a scene, I paid the bill. On our way out I saw the owner. It took me blocking her path to hang up her phone and talk to me. At one point she ripped my fathers phone from his hand. The unprofessionalism which was displayed by the owners actions and language makes me wonder what else she does to save or make a buck. PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF THE HASSEL AND SKIP THIS DUMP. read more

The best meal eaten during our visit to St. Thomas! We ordered the seafood fra diavolo, creole shrimp, and the to die for lobster in coconut curry sauce.

I had a really bad experience here. Despite our reservation, we had to wait over 45 minutes, though they seemingly had no problem seating people that came after us. There was no real explanation for this. Additionally, the waitress was very neglectful, not even coming back to offer us water but again seemingly had no problem going to the other tables around us multiple times. we also had to ask multiple times for things. We all ordered the curry lobster, which was very good, however, when the bill came, somehow we were all charged $89 each for the lobster despite them being different sizes and being told the prices range from $69 to $89. All in all, it was a poor experience and when in St. Thomas, I'll never return to this restaurant again. read more

Ok the seaside ambience is amazing! The food is also super yummy but pretty spendy. For the prices the portions could be bigger. The service is very friendly but also slow. Our server seemed unable to carry more than one thing at any time. Also our server was very slow to notice the need for drink refills. Was watching other tables and also couldn't help but notice the lack of training in opening and serving wine properly. Again for the price they should know this stuff. The only total pitfall was there seems to be some type of electrical issue that kept the ceiling lights constantly flickering which was super annoying. Overall though I would go back again and give this place another try. read more

Had the lobster their specialty, have been sick for three days since eating there. I strongly do not recommend this place. It was the Marriotts selection. Very overpriced for what you get. 5 of us ate there & would not go back. The crab dip was canned with melted cheese. Not good. Very very disappointed. read more

This place is awful! Don't give them your money! Go to Iggys instead, you'll be glad you did. We stayed at the villas upstairs so thought we'd try it. First night we got a to go order as the wait time was almost 2 hours. Had 2 crab legs, eggplant parm with pasta, shimp Primavera. Crab was good, not worth the money. The rest was ok, like something you'd get at Dennys. Most food was about $30. Our food and drinks came to over $400. The next night I went down for a drink and witnessed this. Man comes to hostess counter, he says he wants an order to go. The restaurant manager looks him up and down with discussed and says to his face, that's not my problem and walks off!! The man just turned and left. I was shocked! Then after talking with others staying at the villas found out that this is normal for them. Service was terrible and food not much better. They disrespect the tourists and fall all over the locals. Don't give these people your money! The owners know that they act this way and don't cate. Witnessed the employee actually touching the food to see if it was hot and then served it! I don't want someone else touching my food, especially during covid! Stay away from here!! read more

One of the more reasonably priced restaurants on the island. By reasonable I mean $25-$30 per plate which is decent compared to most of the outrageously priced restaurants on the island. The service is excellent; all the waitresses are complete sweethearts and are very helpful. The food is consistantly good and the menu does not change so expect to enjoy your favorite dishes each visit. Highly recommend the Lobster and Crab Dip, Grilled Mahi Mahi, Coconut Shrimp, and the Curry Lobster. Key Lime Pie is delicious! Arrive before sunset to enjoy beautiful views of the ocean. read more

It's a beautiful restaurant and I loved what they did with the place. It was romantic, and loved the view and the atmosphere. Food was decent; Shrimp Scampi and Sea Bass, not great but decent. Service was good but not fast enough for me. read more

The Lobster Curry was delicious. The electricity was off when I arrived but they had plenty of candles around. I had to take a picture to see what my food actually looked like. I sat at the bar where Tucker was kind and friendly. This restaurant is the 2nd oldest on the island. The beach front location is beautiful. Electricity came back on half way through my meal. read more
