We arrived on Halloween where they were playing michael Jackson's thriller and families were laughing the night away. Our waitress name was sage who was very kind and honest about the menu. I ordered the wahoo island style which came with rice and veggies. It tasted exactly like chicken and was cooked deliciously. Our view was of the dark ocean night where you could hear the water lapping against the rocks. Quite pleasant Ultimately, the timing of our entrees got brought out sporadically but the food made up for it ten fold. Can't wait to go back!! read more

Mim's Seaside Bistro - Wahoo Island Style - Seafood Near Me - St Thomas, Virgin Islands

GREAT food and service. Had a super meal waterside. We always enjoy Mim's when we're in St Thomas.

Great seafood but the bugs at sunset will keep you scratching. Bring bug repellent and enjoy. read more

September 17, 2021 and four of us went for dinner. I called ahead to see if we could be seated at 5:45 PM. I was asked if I had a reservation. I said, "no do I need to make one?" I was told yes. I asked if I could make a reservation for four at 5:45 PM and was told yes. So I made a reservation for the four of us at 5:45 PM. Upon arrival we were promptly greeted and given a choice of seating locations as only two of the other tables were occupied. The view is wonderful!! The calamari and fried mushrooms were quite good. The snapper almadine was absolutely delicious. The snapper piccata was tasty. The snapper dijonnaise was wonderful. We all liked the preparations but the fish portions were all on the small size. As luck would have it, it started to rain just as we were finishing our dinners. Lucky for us it was a slow night and we were able to move under the roof area. They have a full bar with specialty drinks, and a wine list also. read more

While on vacation in St Thomas, I was recommended this place by one of the local drivers. Rule of thumb, make sure you make a reservation before coming to this place. If you don't you will have to wait at least an hour to be seated. Me and my best friend ended up learning this the hard way by not doing so. The wait time was indeed an hour but we didn't mind waiting. The bartender, Abby was a gem and she did a good job with providing us some good drinks. We had the calamari and stuffed mushrooms as starters. Our main entree was absolutely the high light of the night. We had the seafood pasta and it packed with loads of flavor. One of the great aspects about this place was the restaurant was right by the ocean. At night the cool breeze and waves while outside makes the whole experience worth wild. This place is a 10/10 not a 5/5. read more

Overall, I would not go back to Mim's. The service was absolutely awful. It took 20 minutes just to get a server to take our drink order. After that, it took another 15 mins just to get the drinks. The whole place can't be more than 10-15 tables with multiple servers so I'm not sure why the service was so slow. The food was OK but not great and WAY over priced. The caprese salad was small and mediocre. The lobster curry had so little lobster in it AND it was $70. The curry flavor was good but we left spending over $100 and not even full. The view is really incredible but that's pretty much all Mim's has going for it. read more

Yes, the food was fire! I highly reccommend the curry lobster. It was divine. I got the small, but I could have easily devoured the medium. Nice view, chill ambiance the staff is the usual as noted below. Not too pricey and good quality. read more

Excellent food and service! Our family showed up for our last dinner in the USVI on a busy Monday night without reservations and only had to wait 15 minutes for a table. The staff were welcoming and very efficient without being rude. We had mahi with mango, snapper with piccata sauce, pasta with shrimp, and grilled salmon along with conch fritters and seafood bisque. Everything was tasty and fresh! The parking situation is a little hectic and unclear but the location and ambiance are lovely. Go to Mim's. It's expensive but so good! read more

Spent a week in St Thomas and went to Mim's twice. Bubbles was our server both times and we loved her! She was energetic, friendly, and provided great service. The food was outstanding and did not disappoint. We'll definitely come back the next time we visit St Thomas read more

We had recommendations from two different locals to try this restaurant. First, I will say that our server was wonderful but the food was not. One of our party ordered the coconut curry lobster and it was VERY bland, I had the snapper almandine which was dry and overly crusted. My wife ordered the eggplant parmigiana, which they discovered they were out of about the time they served our other meals. She then ordered the tortellini primavera and she's pretty sure they forgot to add any sauce to it. Overall not a great experience. read more

We had dinner here almost 3 nights from our 5 night stay and all of fish preparations were wonderful. Amazing taste and location with very good service. Definitely recommending this for anyone traveling to St. Thomas. read more

Best two meals I've had in a long time! I read a couple of bad reviews before visiting Mim's so I was a little worried. First, you can't beat the location. Gorgeous ocean views in an open air setting. Exactly how you picture your vacation dinners! I have been craving seafood since I'm on an island and Mim's did not disappoint. The first night at Mim's I ordered the Snapper Dijonnaise and hubby had the Grilled Mahi Mahi. Both were outstanding! Our last night on St. Thomas we reserved a table by the ocean and we ordered the Coconut Curry Lobster and the Surf and Turf. Very spendy but well worth it. The best meal I had on the island. That Coconut Curry Lobster is to die for. Our first server seemed new and wasn't as attentive as we needed her to be, but the server on our last night was amazing. The ladies at the reservation and check in desk were always sweet and very accommodating. If you come to St. Thomas and don't have dinner at Mim's you are missing out! Tip: Reserve a table ocean front ahead of time, they fill up fast. read more

Food was perfect, atmosphere is great and the ladies running the place makes you feel like family. Our favorite on the island.

Mim's Seaside Bistro - Curry lobster. Absolutely terrible - Seafood Near Me - St Thomas, Virgin Islands

Beautiful location and views. We were able to have dinner here on a Saturday evening due to a cancellation. This is a popular nplsce and reservations are best if you want to dine here. The place was busy! Unfortunately, that made service very slow. We sat unattended for quite a while when we were first seated because our waitress said no one told here we were her table. We placed drink orders and then food. We had two rounds of drinks before our food arrived. I ordered the sesame crusted ahi tuna. The tuna was good but my sides were cold. Disappointing after waiting so long from food. One of my friends ordered the lobster curry which is a house specialty. The lobster dish smelled amazing and tasted just as wonderful. read more

Mim's is a beautiful spot right on the water and the food and service were good. Off the beaten path, which we liked. My partner had the shrimp creole and said it was really good. I had the coconut curry lobster and it was a little too creamy for my liking but we enjoyed our dinner there. Actually the lobster tasted quite good for breakfast the next day (HUGE portion!) so it must have been me. read more

I decided on this restaurant for my husband & I on our honeymoon on St. Thomas based solely on the review photos of the lobster dishes, as my husband LOVES lobster & wanted to try some while we were on the island. My husband chose the large stuffed lobster, which was served with garlic mashed potatoes & vegetables. It was definitely a pricier meal, at $90, but you can tell from the look on his face in my attached photo that he was SHOCKED at the size of the lobster placed in front of him. I am not a lobster person myself, but he loved it and literally ate every bite of it. I chose the grilled salmon fettucine alfredo & it was absolutely delicious! The portion of salmon was huge, & I had about half of my meal to take back to our Airbnb for leftovers! Hubby had a couple beers with his meal, & I have a frozen Strawberry Shortcake cocktail. While it seemed very light on any actual alcohol content, it tasted amazing! Definitely our priciest meal we had on our stay on the island, totaling $160 for the two of us, but it was well worth it! The ambiance of this place was amazing, being right on the water! We were seated inside, however it was very open to the water & the wind felt amazing. We could look right out over the rocks and water below us. The views from this place were absolutely breathtaking! Our waitress was fantastic, as she started off by suggesting some drinks, and then gave full descriptions of some of their top menu items. We did not have to wait at all to get into the restaurant or be seated, but we did make sure to come as soon as they opened at 5 p.m., so I am sure this had a lot to do with it. There was a little bit of a wait on our meals, but this was totally ok, as we were on "island time", & just spent our time soaking in the amazing views & enjoying each other's company. If we are ever back on St. Thomas again, we would definitely dine here again, as the food & atmosphere were absolutely amazing! read more

The service and the ambiance were good. I wish I could say the same for the food. My husband order a medium portion of the coconut curry lobster, a baked potato and vegetables, he received a luke warm large portion, rice and vegetables. The lobster tasted good. I ordered the red snapper piccata, rice and vegetables and I received the red snapper, mashed potatoes and vegetables. My fish was cold and soggy and had no flavor and the mashed potatoes were also cold and didn't taste like potatoes. I couldn't eat the fish or the potatoes. We didn't complain but I wish we would have because our bill was over $200. Our waitress was very sweet and its a great view of the ocean. read more

Great view. Nice ambiance. Service was great. The food. Meh. I had the Blackened Mahi. It wasn't really blackened (not spicy at all), also was dry. Shrimp scampi had too much lemon sauce. Chicken Parm was tough, hard to cut into the chicken. But!! The Lobster Curry was a hit!!!!! Drinks were great! And our server... awesome!! It was still a great night. I'd recommend coming even if for the view alone!! read more

We were there on a Sunday night. We had a reservation which was not really necessary. The restaurant was pretty empty. We could pick our table. We had a table with a nice view of the bay. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food was good (tuna steak and pasta fra diavolo). However, we wanted a bottle of red wine. We sequentially picked 3 different bottles and they were out of all of them. Instead they tried to sell us much more expensive bottles. We ended up ordering the house wine which was actually pretty good. We wanted a whole bottle, but they sell that wine only by the glass. Our waitress had a hard time understanding that. So we ended up with some good food and a nice view. read more

Went here since it was located right in front of our Airbnb. I was not expecting the food to be that good but it ended up being amazing! The pasta was perfectly flavored and made for great leftovers in the morning. The view of the beach is also gorgeous. read more

Lobster + coconut curry = Caribbean delicious and is what Mim's is known for! Don't worry about getting value for your buck, this lobster curry dish can easily feed two! You're going to want to finish this dish at the restaurant because honestly who takes home left over lobster and nukes it? It gets all rubbery and gross. You just don't do that so split this dish with your dinner partner or skip a few meals don't even try to eat that massive loaded baked potato and steamed veggies that it comes with. Mim's has it all, the best beachy waterfront dinning, smiley friendly service, no parking hassles (parking in Bolongo Bay lot), and the best lobster curry dish on St. Thomas. But service can be a tadbit slow and outside of the lobster curry I'm not a fan of much else. I didn't like their Mahi or snapper and couldn't get into their shrimp creole. This place can get pricey so continuing to find good dishes with that kind of money isn't going to happen. Their seasoned rice also isn't that good. BTW does anyone else notice that they do the same rice pyramids as Mafolie restaurant? So stick to the lobster and come early for dinner to watch the sunset with a nice drink. It's a worthwhile way to spend an evening on St. Thomas. #St.Thomas #USVI read more

Amazing views right on the water. Great staff especially Joan. Fabulous Food especially the curry lobster. Must do in St Thomas!!

Not very appealing at all! Ordered the coconut lobster and there were maybe 4 bites of lobster for $65. My husband got crab legs and the same thing 2 small clusters for $69. They didn't even have the crab crackers. Definitely won't go back. This is the first review I have ever done, not pleased at all. read more

Mim's is a real treat. Open air dining right on the water. Delicious food and drink. The snapper picatta was delicious, the table favorite in our group. If you like pina coladas, I suggest you skip ordering one here and instead go with the lime in de coconut. Very similar but with a pleasurable lime taste on the back end. This is a mandatory restaurant stop for us when we visit St. Thomas. read more

We simply love Mim's! If you were looking for excellent food, with an amazing atmosphere on the water than this is your place. We have eaten here twice over the last number of years and it is as good the second time as the first. I have attached a couple of photos of our meals, which were. Snapper, piccata, and snapper Dijonaisse. And oh, I almost forgot the lobster bisque was insane! Yummy!!! We absolutely loved our waitress Bubbles read more

Do yourself a huge favor the next time you're in Saint Thomas and book a seaside dinner at Mim's! This restaurant was a true highlight of my vacation, we literally were awestruck from the moment we arrived. The view? Words will never do it justice. There is something to be said for eating right next to the sea, with waves crashing and the mist hitting your skin. The food? Some of the most incredible and fresh you'll ever experience. We tried a little of everything and nothing disappointed! Please do yourself a solid and book a reservation at Mim's before you leave the island! read more

I wanted to love it here. I know "island time" and I get it I really do but we waited over an hour, almost 2 for food. The food was great! Service was wonderful. The view is beautiful. Don't get the steak, stick to seafood and don't come already hungry. Maybe it was an off night or maybe it's the norm. We wouldn't pick it again. read more

We enjoyed a lovely dinner here on our first night in St. Thomas! Mims is a seaside escape and has a balcony facing a beautiful bay. We booked around sunset so the lighting was gorgeous! We were celebrating our anniversary so we got a bottle of the bubbly which was awesome and fairly priced. They serve fresh, warm bread and butter which we enjoyed.. Upon the recommendation from our knowledgeable server, we both had the lobster (which is the thing to get at this place). My husband had the Coconut Curry Lobster and I had the Stuffed Baked Lobster (most medium-sized). We finished the evening with a Butterscotch Bread Pudding that was homemade and just delectable. We highly recommend this for a special occasion or just for a casual dining experience. It really got us in a relaxed mood, ready to enjoy all that the USVI has to offer. read more

Mixed results. The setting is beautiful and the staff is extremely friendly. However, food was adequate - esp for the price. Plus, it felt like they were hurrying us up so they could reuse the table. Our entrees came out before they even served our cocktails. Then the check was dropped off as we ate our last bite of dessert. When you pay their prices, i would've expected better. read more

If you go to MiMs you go simply for the view. This hidden restaurant behind a villa has a gorgeous view which is seaside. We made a reservation which was recommended. They only had 4 tables in the 2 hours we were there. Bring your Off spray the bugs ate me alive here. Sad to say my tables food was nothing short of mediocre. Crab legs were unavailable on a Friday night. We had a frog leg appetizer which I didn't try because it's not my jam. I was told it was good. At our table we ordered a Shrimp pasta, Snapper Picatta with fries and my dish baked lobster with baked potato. Shrimp pasta looked good however my friends mom just picked at it. I tried the Picatta sauce it was delicious if you are gonna get anything here this is it. I had the baked lobster with baked potato. I was excited because apparently they are known for it. It was overcooked, the bread crumb filling was quite lacking in flavor and contained no clams as listed. The drinks were good our table had Virgin sex on the beaches and espresso because coffee and khalua was unavailable. The service was just okay order was taken slowly and we had to grab the waitress off her cell phone to get the bill. Overall save your money on overpriced dishes and grab a bite at the beach. read more

It was honestly a huge disappointment eating here. The drinks weren't good but the food was what really broke my heart. We ordered the crab dip, it looked like canned tuna with cheese melted on top and didn't taste fresh at all. We also got the curried lobster and it just tasted like straight coconut milk. I love curry and they definitely need to put more cumin or something in that dish, especially with the price point on it. Neither me or my husband were a fan and we left extremely disappointed. The server was nice and attentive, as was the hostess, so that was a bright side. read more

By far the best restaurant we had on the island. It's tucked behind a older hotel. Casual attire, no need to dress up. We traveled with a big group of people. Made a reservation the day of & was able to get in. The staff was super friendly & accommodating. We had asked to switch to a table closer to the ocean & they did with no problem. I forget our two server names but they were great, made great suggestions. Between the table for appetizers we order the tuna tartare, Buffalo shrimp & calamari. Entrees, coconut curry lobster (life changing) crab & shrimp pasta, chicken Alfredo, surf & turf & mahi mahi. Nobody had any complaints. The food & service was delicious. The prices are very reasonable. We even called the chef out to thank him. It was great, a def must go to when in St Thomas. P.S I'm sorry I only took videos of the food, but I promise you amazing read more
