About Shima
Shima is a practical Nassau pick for an easy dinner, date, or small celebration when booking friction matters more than awards or a named chef hook. Dinner is the stronger choice than Sunday lunch for occasion meals, while nearby alternatives such as Yellow Bell, Mogano by Giorgio Locatelli, Café Coco are better cross-shops for diners prioritising a clearer concept or different mood.
For diners comparing Shima with options such as Yellow Bell, Mogano by Giorgio Locatelli, The Captain's Table, the most reliable confirmed details are its Nassau location, evening hours, Sunday daytime service, smart-casual dress code. Use it as a candidate when those basics fit your plans, rather than choosing it based on unverified claims about cuisine, price, awards, chef credit, or menu format.
Shima is closed Monday. It is open Tuesday through Saturday from 5:30–10 PM, on Sunday from 11 AM–3 PM and 5:30–10 PM.
