I had an early dinner at Simmer Down with a group of five celebrating a friend's birthday. It was a…read moreSunday evening, and the restaurant wasn't busy, which made for a relaxed experience. Since it was my first visit, I appreciated that our waitress took the time to answer questions and help me navigate the menu. She was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. I started with the onion petals, which were delicious and a great way to kick things off. For my entrée, I ordered the steak kabobs cooked medium. Unfortunately, they came out closer to well done. They still had good flavor, but I wish they had been a little more tender. The salad bar lived up to the reviews. It was fresh, well stocked, and definitely worth the trip. As a nice touch, they brought out a slice of strawberry cake for my friend's birthday. I stole a bite and can confirm it was pretty tasty. Overall, this is a great local spot with flavorful food and fantastic service. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the steak was overcooked. I'd definitely come back and try it again.

The building has a classic charm with a hint of elegance that elevates the dining experience. Okay, let's get into the food- the southern strawberry cake was absolutely delicious. Each bite took my palate on a joyride of goodness. The mashed potatoes were velvety and delicious- smit was the best mashed potato I've ever eaten. The redfish and crab was the perfect combination. The fish was fresh with just the right amount of flakiness. The cheese grits were very tasty too. Definitely a southern experience worth having.

I had a perfect dirty martini and my husband had an excellent old fashioned ( chose not to do the smoked version. ) We were seated at the time of our reservation with courteous and prompt attention from our waiter. He informed us of all the specials and gave us the right amount of time to relax before ordering. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. I like the atmosphere, not too large of a dining area, I like the separate room of tables, with a fireplace, along with the area of booths for a more intimate setting. The bar itself is large and has seating on the outskirts of it as well.

I ordered fried Catfish filets and fried green tomatoes [ I figured if I'm gonna eat fried food, I may as well go all the way :) ] Well, the tomatoes were fried perfectly, lightly breaded, my only complaint is that they were so over salted I couldn't finish it. The fish was a bit better, cornmeal breading again a bit heavy handed with the salt, but passable. I'm sure my pressure will top out soon..My guys both had cheese burgers and fries and said theirs were fine. Tomorrow I'll try another place for lunch
