One of my favorite meals while visiting St Thomas! This is a local spot tucked away off the main road and ocean front, you can't beat it. This could be a good romantic dinner or good for a group. It has the ability to meet all your vacation needs and good food! For the people siting issues with the service, this place is on island time. It's not a bad thing but just don't try to be in a rush. You are taken care of it just may take a little longer than you would have thought. Everyone says get the curry lobster. Let me be the next to say...get the curry lobster! I don't love curry at all, but get the curry lobster! It's such a good balance of sweet coconut with a cream sauce that just works so well with the explosion of flavors going on. The whole mixture is stuffed back in the lobster shell for an awesome presentation. Overall, take the taxi ride to enjoy this local fare, you definitely won't be disappointed! read more

If you're looking for one of the best dinner views in St. Thomas, Mims Seaside Bistro definitely delivers. The ambiance is hard to beat--dining right by the water with the ocean breeze and a beautiful sunset feels like a postcard moment. The menu was decent but definitely on the pricey side. I had my heart set on the crab legs, but unfortunately, they were out. I ended up going with the lobster instead. I chose the small size, but was surprised to be charged the highest price point, which felt more in line with a medium. The lobster itself was decent--not bad, but nothing to rave about either. We did enjoy the garlic bread though! When the bill came, we couldn't help but feel like the overall value didn't quite match the price point. Food and service were both average--nothing that stood out in a big way. That said, if you're here for the scenic evening experience and not necessarily wowed by the food, this might be the spot for you. read more

Everything was wonderful! We have seen some bad reviews from some real Karens. First, there are stairs to the bathroom. There are stairs to the restaurant too. You have to be blind and or stupid to miss them. Anyone complaining about falling down those stairs frankly deserved it. Another Karen complained about how the wine was 2023 instead of 2021 ... the menus don't list the date. It's a seaside lobster restaurant, let's not put on airs like you can tell the difference Karen. Finally, a lady complained she didn't get a free dessert on her birthday... the world doesn't owe you a key lime pie lady, but if you order one it is in fact delicious! The food is great, the waitstaff was wonderful. The place just has the occasional asshole customer who wants champagne service for box wine prices. Well worth it! read more

It's amazing how a server can wreck a good meal. She arrived at our table with a lit up Christmas tree hat on for Valentine's Day. None of the 2021 red wines on wine list were in stock and 2023's took their place. Our wine glasses arrived dripping wet and were sent back. One of our shrimp cocktails arrived without the other. After 15 minutes, we sent that back and reordered our two fresh. The food was great as we have eaten here for 20 years but all the linen table cloths couldn't class this place up when my shrimp cocktail sauce arrived in a plastic cup instead of in the cocktail glass...??? No lobster crackers or forks so we couldn't eat the whole lobster...speechless.... read more

Mim's Seaside Bistro is a delightful little sea side restaurant that has delicious food and a very friendly staff. If you want a very good meal in a more-upscale spot then this place is for you. We came in with a large group (10 people), we called ahead, and they handled us wonderfully. Our waitress was a class act from beginning to end, not only handling the usual stuff but also pushing drinks, etc. (because she could tell we were a fun group). The menu has tons of amazing-sounding options. So many, in fact, that it makes it hard to choose! While I wanted to go with their famous dish, the lobster, I decided to have the Blackened Mahi-Mahi - it was the right choice because it was phenomenal. In fact, everyone else in the group raved about their dishes as well. Not a single person said they had something they didn't like. While on the island for a week this was one of the highlight meals for us. When I return I know I'm coming back for more! read more

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE BEATS DECENT FOOD I tripped and fell down the stairs while trying to be kind and make conversation with the staff who was sitting at a table at the bar on a slow night. I had no clue there was stairs down to the bathroom, so I stepped down and almost broke my ankle when I tripped and fell. I continually asked for ice from the server and was never asked why when icing my ankle because they clearly didn't care. And then while leaving I suggested to the hostess (whom was a woman who looked about 60 years old) that people be told there are steps to the bathroom and that no one told me about the steps which led to me ultimately to trip and fall and no one helped. She then raised her voice at me saying "well maybe no one saw you!" LOL says the lady who walked past me when I fell (please I encourage the owners to look at the cameras).... Again... make sure you to go to the bathroom before you go there and as long as that's happening I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time!! read more

Massive thanks to the total stranger who recommended Mims. Don't hesitate to get to this place and enjoy. Family got multiple different items and all were fantastic. I had the Wahoos dish, which was amazing. Service was an A+ as well. read more

So, I came here at night time and it wasn't what I was expecting. Location is definitely small and not that well looking. I think the food was definitely overpriced for the portion. Had the curry lobster which was recommendation due to it being their famous item. And it was just overpowering. Couldn't taste the goodness of the lobster itself. They did sing me happy birthday but no free dessert as you would expect being in the United States. Food took forever to come out and price was not strong. read more

Delicious food and a breathtaking view! This cozy little spot was a great highlight to our visit to St Thomas. The staff was amazing..super friendly and very knowledgeable. Now, the $6 bread basket left a lot to be desired and there was a lack of vegan options..other than that, it was great!! We will definitely visit again!! read more

This is one of the best seafood places I've ever eaten at. To start with the service was amazing, our server Mia was absolutely the sweetest. She was so kind, was on time, and gave the best advice. She checked on us and made sure our drinks were never low. Asked questions and gave us advice on where to go and what to do. She was such a kind wholesome person. Then the food was to die for. And the set up next to the water is amazing watching the sunset was the best part. It was an overall best experience. read more

Amazing view, great service, and good food. This is our second visit and each time, we've had a blast. I really enjoy the curry stuffed lobster and their pasta. We wanted to try other dishes but returned to our usual. We'll be back when we're on the island in a few weeks again. read more

Lucky us to be staying right by Mim's during our stay on St. Thomas! You can't beat the location on the water with a nice patio and indoor area to choose from. We had three fantastic dinners there. The food and the servers each night were top notch. Excellent seafood dishes and the drinks were wonderful too. Highly recommend any of their seafood pastas, the lobster dishes and the crab dip. If we get back to St. Thomas, Mim's will be our first stop. Thank you to the wonderful staff from the Moneymakers! read more

Fabulous staff who engaged in a very positive, friendly, light-hearted manner and made us feel welcomed and appreciated from the moment we arrived until the moment we departed. The location is a bit off the beaten path but well worth the time and effort. Incredible view out over Bolongo Bay. If weather forecast is favorable, get an outside table. Food was excellent. We had the frog legs and the shrimp appetizers. Two of the four of us had the Snapper Dijonnaise, one had the Snapper Picatta and I e had the Wahoo ... everything was delicious! Will definitely eat here again and more often. read more

This was my first time at Mim's and I thought it was really good! The ladies that work there are kind and work very hard. The calamari appetizer was great, the surf n turf was great and the key lime pie! Would definitely come back! read more

A local downtown recommended Mim's to us and the place was perfect for an evening dinner. Outdoor seating with a gorgeous view. Our server was so chill and friendly. The food...absolutely delicious. I ordered the surf and turf and the steak was amazing. The lobster was great as well. If you like bread pudding, order that too. Hands down a great experience. read more

Our waitress was phenomenal. She was attentive and told us about the customers' favorite dishes. Local spot. Nice location. Right on the shore. Very romantic. The only negative aspect was the flavor. The food lacked taste. Lastly, it wasn't hot, like straight off the grill. read more

If you are looking for a local place right on the water, Mim's is a solid choice. The restaurant sits at the water's edge with great views of one of the coves along the south side of the island. It is a bit off the beaten path and is definitely a low key place. But the staff is friendly and takes care of you. My wife had a delicious snapper almandine with horseradish sauce. I had seared ahi. It was fine but I probably should have ordered a local fish. My margarita was pretty weak. Next time, a beer and a mahi sandwich would probably be better choices. read more

Amazing. Beautiful ambiance, and such a friendly staff. We were looking for a last minute place and I logged in and got a reservation. When the taxi dropped us off I was a bit leery and thought perhaps it was a mistake but when I went downstairs I realized we had found a true gem. read more

This place is a hidden gem. It's located off of a condo neighborhood. Right on the water. The views are beautiful. The food is really good and representative of the area. I had the lobster curry and hubby had the stuff lobster. The plantains were amazing, the vegetable mix. I highly recommend. read more

No, just no. So many reasons, but the main one is the inconsideration of the manager. We were celebrating a birthday and ordered dessert, asked for the sparkler candle we saw given to other tables and were denied. Saying "we ordered to-go dessert" so they won't do it. COME ON MIMS!! She's was celebrating her 23rd birthday on a once-in-a-lifetime vacation and you can't spare a candle??? The ONLY reason I'm giving you 2 stars is because the girls said their drinks were yummy and the waiter was nice. Otherwise the food was meh... we had a reservation for 8pm and no table ready until 830 ok whatever it's paradise we'll wait. Sorry, we will not be back nor recommend it to anyone..... read more

Food 10/10 Service impeccable! Ambience lovely! I had my birthday dinner here and loved how they celebrated me. read more

The service is outstanding. You are greeted with a friendly smile and served with care. The food is awesome. Varied menu that is made love.

Food is always delicious and staff is always kind and courteous. Each time I visit St Thomas, I'm compelled to visit. Keep up the spectacular work! read more

2 hour wait for food, to be fair we were a table of 7 that showed up a half hour early. They were super nice and seated us. All downhill from there. We waited literally hours for dinner as they had another large table. I could have been fine with all of it had they not just ignored us. We couldn't get water or any other drinks refilled all night. The food was good, not great, the view and vibe were outstanding. I've been here multiple times. Usually a small party 2 or 3 and it's been great. I'd come again but NEVER with more than 2 or 3 people. Despite the potential this meal is the low point of our vacation so far. Sorry Mims you have to do better. read more

Went on a date night with my wife on a Thursday evening. Since we arrived without a reservation we had a drink at the bar while waiting for less than 15 min. Then ordered fried calamari as appetizer followed by a medium curry coconut lobster with rice and plantains which was enough for both of us. Lobster was very flavorful. Server was attentive and entertaining. This is truly a hidden gem. Very small with a lot of character. read more

We visited from Bolongo Bay so that we could have the renounced Curried Lobster. Upon arrivi g we were warmly greeted by Shamara that set the tone for service. She was driving the aura of the shift which was felt throughout our experience. Joan was our server and she was pleasant, professional and attentive. Both these ladies personified what genuine hospitality should be. As the name suggests it's by the Seaside and that se air, sound of the waves and the moonlights reflection coupled with the hospitality made for a wonderful evening. We started with the boiled shrimp with cajun seasoning and had some cocktails. For our entrees we ordered the Snapper Almandine and the three (3) pounds curried lobster whole. The snapper was beautifully presented with almo D slivers all over the fish, similar to scales, wonderful. The lobster in the most humble way took the show, it was just an attention whore and for good reason, it was HUGE and aesthetically pleasing! The food was delicious, we needed to add some salt for all the flavors to pop, it was initially bland and that salt brought out the flavors that were there and they were SO SO GREAT! read more

We were staying next door and decide to stop for drinks and appetizers. Loved the open air dining right next to the ocean with the sounds of the waves on the background. We didn't have reservations. We didn't need them. We were seated right away and a great table. They do have a bar with seating as well. We ordered the frog legs, tostones and half pound of shrimp as appetizers. Prior to the appetizers coming out, we were give complimentary bread and butter. The frog legs taste just like chicken. They were breaded and seasoned well. The shrimp was just boiled shrimp with cocktail sauce as expected. We never received our tostones. I'm not sure if she forgot, but we weren't charged for them The drinks were good. About $10-$12 each. Do check you bill. She had overcharged us by $8, but she corrected it right away when we brought it up. read more

Our waitress, Janice, was so sweet and was definitely the highlight of our meal. She went over and beyond, hunting down shirt sizes for us, making an americano for my grandma who doesn't like espresso, etc. We were seated right away, and the staff was lovely. Only downside: we waited almost an hour for our mains, and some of our dishes were a little lacking (shrimp and crab pasta only had a little crab meat, eggplant parmesan noodles were cold in some areas) but overall, I would 1000% come again. The salmon was delicious, the fried shrimp was yum, and the tortellini was definitely a hit. The brie appetizer was very good, but definitely small. read more

This was a very unusual experience. The food was not very good. We ordered the conch fritters, the seafood bisque, the curried lobster, and the shrimp and crab pasta in lobster cream sauce. The conch fritters were very good. Seafood chowder was okay, but base was a little grainy and seemed to be mostly seasoned with old bay. Lobster curry was not for us. It's a yellow curry, so more of an Indian flavor, plus coconut milk and sugar. We were hoping for more of a Thai curry taste. Drinks were the highlight. I had a strawberry shortcake and lime in the coconut, husband had rum punch. The total bill was $206 plus tip. I might have given it three stars based on food and ambiance were it not for the weird part. We had a 5:30 reservation, arrived promptly and were given a great table right on the water. The hostess and wait staff commented on the view. We placed our order and were enjoying our drinks and the appetizers, when the hostess came back to our table and very apologetically asked us to move! By this point, it was about 5:55 and all of the other waterfront tables were taken. The hostess said that when the owner arrived for the night, she was reminded that she had been asked to reserve this specific table for another party, so we had to pick up our food and drinks and move back to a non-waterfront table. We were so surprised that we agreed and they gave us each a free drink. I was eager to meet whoever the VIP was that bumped us, but no one ever showed up! Totally inappropriate. Had they comped our whole meal, I would have still been astonished by the ask. read more

First time to the VI! Staying at the Watergate Villas and Mims is the perfect spot. Incredible views of Bolongo Bay! Meme took great care of us, bringing perfect cocktails and conch fritters while we decided on dinner. Easy choices: Coconut curry lobster and the baked stuffed lobster. Both perfectly cooked sweet lobster meat, each with unique flavors. The curry lobster really is good- beautifully presented and so flavorful! Had a side of plantain which was on point. Highly recommend for a romantic, quiet experience away from the crowds of the harbor! read more

This was one of the best restaurants to visit while in St. Thomas. The menu was extensive. I love LOVE LOVE seafood! For an appetizer, I ordered the green Mussels. I ordered the crab and shrimp linguine and it was amazing. Was there for a birthday dinner for 10, so the wait time was very long. That was the only downfall. Overall, every moment was great read more

Located in strange and sketchy place but a nice view. Food took long to come out and was barely warm. The stuffed lobster was over priced and the stuffing was just breadcrumbs and vegetables no shrimp. Our waitress wasnt friendly at all. This place was recommended by our cab driver but I could've done without. read more

You need to check the hours Mim's is open, but it is well worth the planning to enjoy this cozy restaurant and outstanding food.

We loved this place. The tables have a view of the ocean and pool view. The servers are very warm and welcoming. They were very helpful. The drink, coconut margarita was so good. The coconut curry lobster was literally the best plate I've had in so long. I liked it so much I kept wanting to go back. It was expensive but the medium plate could feed 2 people. The lobster tails were both bigger than my hand. I will be back to St Thomas just for Mim's. read more

After a disappointing dinner at a St Thomas restaurant the previous night, we were hoping for a better island dining experience at Mim's Seaside Bistro. Mim's came through with a nice outside waterfront patio, great service and food. Our entrees were delicious and the portions were huge. Our waitress, Joan was delightful. She was right on top of things with our drinks and food. I would definitely recommend Mim's for a fun, delicious Island dining experience. read more

MIMS came highly recommended from many tourists and locals for delicious seafood. During my last night on St. Thomas, USVI I decided to dine there. The restaurant had a lovely view of the ocean, definitely a waterfront spot. The staff were attentive and interactive and made sure my dinner was to my liking. Food: they are known for their lobster but I opt for the King Crab legs. They served them pre-cut with choice of side $47. I will definitely return to MIMS to try their lobster read more

It's my first night in St. Thomas and our cab driver recommended this place for dinner. We decided to check them out. We didn't have reservations but we were seated right away. Our table was right by the ocean. We went at night so it was very dark. I could only imagine how beautiful the views are during the day. Our waitress was pretty patient. We weren't sure on what to order so she had to come back a few times. I decided on the blackened shrimp Alfredo. My bf decided on the salmon encrusted with almonds. I ordered the rum punch and it was watered down. But we both really loved the food. read more
