Description: Mim’s Seaside Bistro is a beautiful oceanfront restaurant in St. Thomas that specializes in fresh seafood dishes. With house specialties including coconut curry lobster, baked stuffed lobster and conch fritters, Mim’s is a little slice of heaven for seafood lovers. We offer everything from king crab legs and fresh fish to chicken wings and creative pasta dishes. Our two large patios are the perfect setting for a relaxing dinner by the ocean, and our location right on the beach at Bolongo Bay gives us access to the best sunset view around.To get your appetite going, choose from our lobster and crab dip, coconut shrimp or calamari appetizers. For the main event, pick from one of our countless seafood dishes like the Grilled Mahi Mahi, King Crab Legs or Breaded Sea Scallops. For those who don’t particularly enjoy fish, we have plenty of non-seafood options to choose from. Try our stuffed artichoke hearts, fried brie, chicken alfredo pasta or one of our juicy steaks. Enjoy the island breeze while sipping a beer or one of our unique cocktails, from the always-popular Caribbean Margarita to the more daring Sex on the Beach in Winter or Beach Bar Bomber. Make sure to save room for our Key Lime Pie or Butterscotch Walnut Bread Pudding.

I asked the locals what their recommendation was for seafood was, and Mim's was it. I had dinner one evening at Mim's and the seafood had to be one of the best I have ever had anywhere. The service was great and the location (once you get there) was great. The restaurant is located downstairs in an older housing complex.... More

Like most people, we went here after tons of recommendations and with every intention of ordering the famous lobster. The "market prices" on lobster are ridiculous though. $59-$130+ for a caribbean lobster (ie just the tail essentially) is preposterous. After many tripadvisor suggestions I ordered the shrimp and crap pasta which was great! Make sure you bring your bug spray... More

Wonderful open air restaurant is a gem with seating overlooking Bolongo Bay! Fresh seafood with a caribean flair....thier signature Stuffed Curry Lobster dish comes in 3 sizes and is worth the money! Great for a special occasion or a romantic dinner. Can't beat the view. We loved it...and make it a must stop when we are in St. Thomas.

I actually live in a house overlooking Bolongo Bay, and Mim's is on our daily walk. I assure you, however, that's not the reason for the good review. I often take business clients here for dinner. The food is great and the prices are fair for island prices. This is a small, family-run place. Much of the seating is outside.... More

Came her as a spur of the moment idea for a quick bitebUtah turn into the best meal of the trip. The shrimp and crap linguine is amazing and such a huge portion that is was almost more then me and my wife share.

We had a really good time at Mim's. It was pricey but the food was great. The view was perfect. Even sitting inside(because it was raining) the ocean was right at our feet.

My boyfriend and I came to this restaurant on the recommendation of the Marriott Frenchman's Reef hotel concierge. We had a car with GPS, so we found it alright. Keep in mind that many places are difficult to find in St. Thomas in the dark on twisty roads, unles you have a GPS. We parked out front of one building... More

The concierge at Morning Star (Marriott) suggested we go to her favorite restaurant. So we jumped in a taxi, $10 each, each way. Our 1st impression wasn't very good. I think we were dropped off behind the building and walked around the kitchen. It was a bit awkward. However, we were greeted with a smile and seated. The wicker patio... More

I probably would have given them five stars, but they were out of the small lobster, so my daughter had to order one of the medium ones for $79.95. She couldn't finish it, so a lot of the food was wasted. The view was great, as are most views in St. Thomas, and the service was acceptable.

We visited Mim's on the recommendation of our hotel concierge. The seating and view directly along the waterfront was a beautiful and unique setting. Although our waitress said they are known for their lobster, I decided to order pasta. The shrimp and crab pasta with lobster sauce was wonderful and should not be missed. The shrimp were large and flavorful.... More
