About this restaurant

Great for outdoor dining
Good for special occasions

Whether you’ve come for the food, drink, or both, we hope you will feel right at home. When you step into Simmer, you’ll be greeted with a friendly smile. We’ve fashioned a warm, comfortable dining room that spills over into a spacious outdoor patio, complete with an open fire pit and tranquil water feature.

We had the bartender as a server so she was very busy but did a decent job. We love the ambiance of this place and the steak with blue cheese puree was extremely good if slightly undercooked. The Chicken Marsala dish had wonderful pasta with mushrooms but the bread crumb balls that passed for chicken weren’t great and I think the dish had an entire shaker of salt in so it was borderline inedible. The wine list is decent and they make a good cocktail. Inside was cold enough to keep meat fresh so opt for the terrific patio if the weather allows.

The restaurant was busy and it took a while for the waitress to get to us. There was 6 of us and several or the small plates come with only 5 items. We asked if we could get one more item per plate. The waitress/manager/chef made it happen. Thank you. Thank you. The food was great.

We had reservations and requested a quiet area as we were having a small meeting. When we arrived we were seated in a small but delightful private area which was perfect. Our server was pleasant and attentive. The food was very good. We will go back.
