    Excellent dining experience. Without a doubt the best food we have eaten in the last week. I recommend the shrimp creole or the lobster.

    The restaurant is on the bay beneath a giant pile of condo/hotel rooms. Is this it? Are we here? Very unassuming. No glitz. I would call the atmosphere gentle and kind with a hint of tiki bar without the tiki. I'll go with 'a hidden gem'. My friend had the mussels appetizer and greek salad. Both excellent. I had the baked brie appetizer which was served with apricot goo and thinly sliced apples. It was spectacular. We each ordered the medium sized Coconut Lobster. One of them alone could have fed an army. I was expecting something more like Thom Ka Gai but this wasn't that at all. Delicious but far too rich. I think this dish would be better served as an appetizer because this was like if lobster were a giant white cake. My side-dishes were absurdly good. No afterthought there. Best plantain I've ever had. And I have no idea what they did to the baked potato (off-hand I'd say it tasted like they mixed the potato with chives and boursin then processed it into astonishing lightness. I would eat at Mim's again in a heartbeat. But next time I'd get the small lobster.

    Beautiful ocean front table for two greeted us when we arrived. Baked Lobster and New York Strip was well prepared and delicious. Espresso martinis were ok but the Pussers Painkiller was tasty. Noise levels were very high for an outdoor venue (lots of Happy Birthday songs!). Overall a good experience just a little pricey.

    I would not suggest ordering the pasta dishes with seafood and you will not find much seafood in the dish. For the price point the amount of food is not good.

    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.

    Not the same Mims! We used to think this was the best meal/experience on the island and we might not go back. My wife’s tuna was overcooked as was my meal. Still loved the sautéed calamari.
