Mim's Seafood Bistro

I hadn't been to Mim's for the longest time. I live on the absolute opposite end of the island. But remembering how nice a restaurant it was my husband and I decided to go there one evening for dinner. Nestled by the water's edge at Bolongo Bay, Mim's is located in a perfect spot for those wanting to tuck away for a nice evening meal.

I had totally forgotten how yummy the food was there. The fresh lobsters (caught daily by local fishermen) are cooked to perfection (local lobster is easy to overcook). It was baked and stuffed with a seafood stuffing that melted in my mouth. My husband had the Swordfish, his favorite. Everything was cooked to order. This is a signature that separates them from all the rest. Everything is cooked to order.
We sat on the terrace under cover as it seemed likely that there might be a sprinkle of rain. I wished I had sat outside, under the stars, enjoying the twinkling lights of nearby houses and the sounds of the water lapping on the rocks below as it never did rain. Wonderfully comfortable and relaxing. I noticed a nice mix of locals and tourists, a good sign that the restaurant was offering food that was pleasing to all.
Mim and Jerry Defreitas (Jerry is the Chef) have been running Mim's Seaside Bistro in this location for over 20 years. They continue to refine their ability to please their customers with a focus on fresh seafood but also with a cross section of other dishes such as steak, and vegetarian dishes like eggplant parmesan and portabella mushroom salad.
I am so glad that we rediscovered this great, longtime gem on the other end of the island. We will definitely return more often.
