We ordered the brussel sprouts, kale salad, and rutabaga soup. My husband had the ahi tuna burger. Everything was excellent.

So you really have to either try and see which ones you like, or do some research before and see what they are famous for. Here are the ones that I liked for brunch: espresso martini, French toast, Croque Madame. I do not recommend their omelettes in general.

The food was excellent, although the fries could use some improvement. The staff was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this place. read more The food was excellent, although the fries could use some improvement. The staff was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this place.

My husband had mussels which he was craving; he loved them! I had the sea bass special; absolutely delicious! I had the pinot grigio; wonderful! Taylor was very attentive and professional. Thank you! We will return! ??

There is now additional seating on the second floor with beautiful views of the street and park. The chairs upstairs also have wheels, which is a nice touch. The food was amazing as always. The raw oysters for starters were cold and delicious, and the pickled vegetables were crispy and not too tangy. The local lamb was slightly tough but still flavorful, and the lamb back was incredible. The bitter greens and large couscous complemented the meat well, although the sauce could have been more flavorful. The dry-aged steak was superb, cooked to perfection, and the potato gratin was tasty. One thing we appreciate about Simeon's, along with their attention to detail, is the portion sizes - they are just right. The main courses are served in a way that allows for an appetizer and a small dessert without feeling overly full.
