About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for fine wines
Romantic

The kind of neighborhood gathering for spirits, wine and bites in the Rice Village.
A courtyard entry with a summer-European feel – complete with candles and comfortable seating – leads the way into an inviting space where the casual and friendly hospitality set the stage.

Whether sharing stories at the friendly bar, sitting in an intimate corner or gathering with a group at the community table, there’s always something interesting to see, and definitely, always something great to eat and drink at Simone on Sunset.

We have amazing cocktails that will tantalize your palate. Don’t be afraid to ask our bartenders for something special and not the usual Rum and Coke.

We went for a couple of drinks, the atmosphere and the drinks were excellent! They have a light up menu to order your drinks, which was really cool. However, the light on the menu was a little bright for a ambience of a speakeasy, not sure if they can turn down the light on the menu, but the idea and the concept is really cool.

We had a horrible experience. When we arrived, the restaurant/bar was not busy at all maybe four other people in the place, no one greeted us or told us to sit even though there are three bartenders behind the bar. It took 15 minutes for anyone to even acknowledge us. When they did acknowledge us, the waitress came to us with her arms crossed, looking upset that she had to wait on us. The food was not great. The drinks were not great. Not recommended

Just ok- the ambiance is pretty but everything else was lacking. I had a reservation but no one greeted us so we just chose a seat. I really don’t know how anyone knew we were there. The servers were pleasant but the service was slow. We didn’t get our drinks all together, they came out one at a time. They were good, except the espresso martini was terrible. We had samosas and margarita pizza. Samosas were good. The pizza was just sauce less cheese pizza with basil thrown on. No tomato or mozzarella was added. I wouldn’t return.

The food was good but very overpriced!! While the server was pleasant the service was terrible. Took a while to get a second glass of wine as well as an extra order of bread. Sadly we won’t be going back!

Service was slow, die to under-capacity or inexperience of staff We booked for slot at 8pm, got or meal at 10pm, which was an online ordered rib-eye as they had run out of steak… Creative solutions, willingness, but please don’t ruin people’s evening like that

We sincerely apologize for the complications you experienced during your visit. Unfortunately, even with as much preparation as we did for Valentine's Day, we were underprepared for the evenings' rush as well as training new staff at the time. Again, we are so sorry for the poor experience you had that evening.

Worst restaurant experience in Houston. Food was bad and cold. Service extremely horrible from the beginning to the end.
Simone on SunsetResponded on March 5, 2025
We are so sorry to hear about the negative experience you had! Unfortunately for reservations we only allow a 15 minute grace period and if you aren't there in that time, we do have to give up your spot, especially because it was an extremely busy night, we had to get other people seated. We do apologize for the inconvenience that caused for you and the poor experience you had.

Food was tasty, music perfect , place has enough room and the seating is good. In order to get drinks I had to go to the bar for them seating on it. I don’t know if it was the lack of service or service in training … took an hour to get drinks and another to get food. It wasn’t too crowded. I’ll will give it another try … besides the service everything else was very nice. I’m hoping they got it together ❤️

Absolutely horrendous experience! My girlfriend and I spent 45 minutes of our lives here that we may never get back again. Had a reservation but when greeted by hostess no table was available so we were seated at a high top in a secondary room. There was no waiter for our entire room until one couple forced a bartender to start taking their order and he felt guilty so he made rounds around the whole room. I was told on the phone we wouldn’t have to do the set menu for Valentine’s Day but the bartender told me that wasn’t the case. My girlfriend and I placed drink orders that didn’t make it to the table in 15+ minutes. We never even got waters. We saw one couple get the courage to get up and leave so we followed suit. Spent $5 tipping a valet who provided the best service of the evening. Zero stars.

We booked a prepaid 3-course Valentine’s Day dinner at Simone’s and man - I was really looking forward to it. We were quickly and severely disappointed. We were seated immediately and then nothing - no one came by to offer us a drink, a water, take our order. We noticed that no one else in the room had drinks or food either. After about 30 minutes I approached the hostess to see what was going on and requested a refund as we were pretty set on leaving, but she grabbed who I assume to be a manager and he apologized and said he’d come to our table to take our order right away. He did - and then we STILL waited another 30 minutes for even a water to arrive. Yes, we sat there for an hour waiting for a water. Eventually everything came out and the food was okay, but not worth the price of the event or the disappointing experience. Others there were clearly frustrated too: some left, some never received one of the courses and had to request them multiple times, some people (including us) ended up receiving parts of our meal before others who had been there longer. If you’re putting together a special event like this, your service has got to be on point. Will not be back.

Very poor all the way around. Valentines dinner. Small crowd. Fixed menu. Food was cold and tasteless. Wait staff appeared to have no clue as to what they were doing. 2.5 hours total experience and it was bad from beginning to end. Seriously it was like we were in an episode of Gordon Ramsey kitchen night mare. Do yourself a favor and do not go.
