Great seafood, but service was slow, wine was not good, potato was cold and bread platter we ordered was basically 6 small pieces of bread. Usually have a great experience but was a little disappointed this time.

Mim’s is a must if you’re in the St. Thomas area. My steak was cooked to perfection, the veggie of the day were delightfully crispy and my husband’s coconut curry lobster was fantastic! Our server, Bubbles, is exceptional! We go to Mim’s every time we are in St. Thomas USVI!

The evening started off poor & got worse. We had a 7:30 reservation and were on time (5 minutes early) and had to wait 15-20 minutes to be seated. When finally seated we were put in a corner table in the back of the restaurant. It was hot and no breeze. We had asked for an outside table. We ordered and our server disappeared. We ordered garlic bread and another server brought us plain bread. We had to flag down another server to fix this. Again, our server vanished and this was over an hour & 15 minutes. Finally one dinner of four ordered, was brought over. It was cold. Then 15 minutes later the coconut curry lobsters were brought over. The sides were cold and the lobster was just warm. We did complain to the the gentleman who filled the water glasses but no one ever came over and delivered the food. We finally saw our server when it was time for the bill. We took most of the food home so we could reheat it the next day.

We come here every year while on vacation. Seafood is fresh, service is wonderful & an amazing view (if it’s not raining. ). Looking forward to next year already.

It is such a lovely place unpretentious yet utterly charming. We sat right in front of the water and watched the moon rise at the end of dinner. The ocean waves provided the best sound score. The server was fantastic, and the food was amazing. We had the coconut curry lobster and snapper almondine, and both were exceptional.
