    Our table of 3 attended one of the Simpl Exchanges, this one was with Dwight Smith. The food was so delicious, well-plated and unique. The service here is always friendly, attentive & considerate. Simpl Things is my personal favourite bar / restaurant in the city and I look forward to every opportunity to enjoy the ambiance and menu offering. Their commitment to providing varied experiences throughout the day / week is highly appreciated and ensures a unique experience, no matter when you visit.
