My first time @ the Simpson and my overall experience was really good. I made reservations and I was concerned about a wait although I had a reservation because of the amount of people waiting for a table when I got there. Thankfully, we were seated promptly. My wife and myself had the Rum Punch and it was fantastic. We had the bourbon bbq wings as an appetizer and it was good. Service was fantastic as our waitress was very attentive to us. Overall, the food was very good. I would go back again based on my experience.

The food was decent. I ordered a rum punch which I had to send back because I couldn’t taste any rum. I was told to order an extra shot of rum. Not at all pleased with the service.

We had a wonderful time celebrating my sister special birthday. The drinks and food were on point. Diamond was our waitress she provided excellent service to our table. The goat stew w rice, veggies, jerk salmon, peas w rice, oxtail w peas rice, and desserts were tasty. Ambiance was tasteful from the art displayed throughout, the fireplace, music, and carribean vibes.
