I decided to try this place because of all the positive reviews, and it did not disappoint. My meal was delicious, the atmosphere relaxing, the service impeccable, and the owners are charming. Be cause of my great experience, I returned the following evening. My second meal was just as good as the first. Whenever I am in Fort Madison again, I will definitely have dinner at Simple Table by Hitomi. An excellent find!

I entered the restaurant behind a man and woman and stood in the waiting area. There were 2 people at the bar and one guy sitting at a table but no hostess, waitress or bartender to be seen. After about 5 minutes, I called out "Hello, is anybody there?" Eventually, the waitress appeared and asked the woman in front of me if we were together. The woman said no, that she was there with her son and then, in a very loud, nasty voice, "I wouldn't have screamed at you like she did", looking at me. The waitress turned her back on me and took the woman to her table without greeting me or acknowledging my presence. Not enjoying the vibe, I left. Get it together people.

We waited a while for menus and when I asked the waiter how long the merlot had been open, he said "a couple weeks", with a shrug. I was certain that I would not be drinking there and probably no food either. I asked if he would be willing to open a new bottle and his response was direct and to the point, which I appreciated. Nope, he wouldn't and since it was Sutter Home, how good would it be anyway? We were welcome to go somewhere else. We did! Went to the Fort Diner and had a great! Cheap! Cajun! Burger! Great service, lots of friendly personality at the grill and I'll go back again! Any day! Thank you for the meal!

Music blasted making conversation non existent. Service was lackluster. If you were not a regular, you basically did not exist. Margarita was a minus ten, and that is being kind. I give kudos for the games on the side room.....nice touch but nothing else makes you want to stay to play the games.
