    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.

    Dinner was amazing but our server Joan would keep us coming back forever. She was an absolute pleasure in every way. I highly recommend Mim’s!

    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.

    Really didn’t care for our waitress , I learned more about the menu from the other waitress than ours. The crab dip was good but would have been better off you didn’t put raw onions in it! The stuffed lobster medium is enough for 2 people and delicious. The vegetables were horrible and the the stiff potato was okay but could have been better. The chocolate martini was delicious. The experience of being near the water was beautiful. But hard to find on Mapquest and not enough signage
