We were a bit disappointed in our Father's Day Mims experience. Staff was wonderful. The outdoor space was nice and very casual. The food was just ok. 2 in our party had a shrimp pasta which they said was nothing special. 1 ate 1/2 the meal. 1 in our party had a steak which he said was over cooked and had too many pepper corns. I had a vegetarian plate of garlic mashed potatoes, sauteed cabbage and sweet plantains. The food was good but the portions were rather small - which always amazes me when restaurants create a veggie plate for vegetarians because there is nothing else on the menu for them to eat but provide portions the same size as those given to meat eaters. I left hungry. I hear they are known for their lobster so maybe we would have done better if we ordered that. As I said the staff were wonderful.

The positives: My husband and I enjoyed a delicious meal at Mim’s, and our server was warm and friendly. We had a table with a great view and absolutely loved our curry lobster dinners. The negatives: Mim’s ambience is lacking and looks run down. We didn’t appreciate the fact that our meals cost $50 over the listed price range on the menu. It felt like a bait and switch. The cocktails were just okay. While we enjoyed our dinner, we would not return.

Our server was amazing & so was the food! The best!!! I would go at sunset next time though since it is oceanside so that you can experience the view better. It was still lovely at night though.

Bubbles and the rest of the staff at Mim’s contributed to our wonderful experience! The seating outside gave a world class view of the ocean! With the staff and the view as absolute positives it is truly all about the food! My husband and I started with escargot which were tender and tasty!! Get the garlic bread to go with it - we did and were not disappointed!! My husband got the Wahoo which had a wonderful spicy sauce on it - I got the “small” stuffed lobster. Both entrees were perfectly cooked! We also ordered the mixed vegetables which we were wowed by! They were seasoned perfectly! All in all it was our best meal in St Thomas and we will come back and eat at Mim’s again and again!!
