I love this place I had not been here in probably 10 years and it’s no different if anything it’s become more nostalgic and comfortable. The staff is friendly the portions are generous. The sweet potato fries are amazing. The grilled cheese and tomato soup were just as I remembered that to be. Definitely worth making a trip to eat here it is not kid friendly after 8 PM. Awesome graffiti to walk around and look at all over the place!

We can always count on Simone’s after a long day of filming. We love the Monday special and look forward to our next visit!

About 8 years ago we had our employee Christmas party here. They accommodated about 50 of us and it went great. Just revisited again today just for a drink. Same friendly staff and funkalicious decor. So fun, love this place

Bad dirty martini. Probably shouldn't come here for them maybe. Good atmosphere. I ordered several dirty martinis here...and most are bad. Get a sugary drink off the menu. Bartender acted like I just wanted more vodka, when they just didn't make a good deink. I choked it down. The bartenders may not have to do much to make the drinks on the menu.

I recently visited Simone’s and had an extremely disappointing experience. There were only four people in the restaurant, yet our server ignored us for most of the part.He claimed to be the owner.When I asked for a mocktail, he refused to sell it to me without ID there is no liquor in a mocktail!!The cups we received were dirty, which is completely unacceptable. We asked for the check, and he forgot about us, never coming back to see if we needed anything else. Overall, the service was terrible! Now the food is pretty good & drink only after 7! Atmosphere is great after 7 but don’t come in for lunch they will ignore you! Sunday nights are a vibe🙌🏻

Gabriella has to be the best bartender in the city! She’s quick with a joke to lighten the mood and always make sure my drink is full! If you haven’t been here check it out and be sure to ask for Gabriella!
