So it's funny because, I think I enjoyed my to-go catfish and okra more than sitting down! To go…read morewas much more crispier and satisfying. Of course catfish is a "muddier" fish type so I expect some graying or pieces not as flavorful, but it was maybe a 6/10 in-restaurant versus 9/10 at home/takeout. Service was average and our waitress was helpful and polite. Music was mostly R&B and a little louder at times depending on the song, but palatable aside from a few unnecessary rap songs that weren't really the vibe for me, personally. Veggies with teriyaki were just okay, and 1/3 of the cup had olive oil base that could have been drained or replaced with more sauce/seasoning. Shrimp was my favorite, 10/10! And those egg rolls! Our mom in law date was made successful from those, definitely .

After enjoying Sunday dinner here previously, we came back to Simone's Kitchen & Cocktails to…read moreexperience their Saturday brunch, and overall, it was another solid visit. We were seated immediately, and our hostess also served as our waitress. Despite wearing multiple hats, she did a great job making recommendations, and every suggestion she made turned out to be a winner. The atmosphere had plenty of energy thanks to a live DJ, giving brunch a fun vibe. My only complaint was the volume. The music was loud enough that it made conversation at our table difficult. To drink, I ordered the It's a Henny Thang, while my wife chose the Rosa Goddess. Both cocktails were excellent and easily among the highlights of the meal. For brunch, we ordered the SKC Salmon Croquettes, Cajun Catfish & Grits, and SKC Chix & Waffles. The Cajun Catfish & Grits was the clear standout. The catfish was crispy, well-seasoned, and paired perfectly with the creamy grits. If you're visiting for brunch, this is the dish I'd recommend first. The Salmon Croquettes were also good. While they didn't quite reach the level of the catfish, they really came alive with a splash of Crystal Hot Sauce, which added just the right amount of acidity and heat. The only disappointment was the Chix & Waffles. The waffles were good but not particularly memorable, and the chicken wings didn't have quite the same wow factor we experienced during our previous visit. Overall, Simone's continues to impress with quality food, creative cocktails, and friendly service. While not every dish hit the same high note, the catfish and grits alone are worth the return trip, and the cocktails were outstanding. Recommendation: Order the Cajun Catfish & Grits, don't skip the cocktails, and if you prefer a quieter brunch, be prepared for the DJ to bring plenty of energy.

Ordered Mahi MahI then the server came back and said they were out. I said I would take the Tilapia instead so she said do you want the steam rice and broccoli that came with the Mahi Mahi. Since it took awhile for a server to take our order in the first place and I no longer had a menu so no idea of what other choices I had, to make it easy, I said yes. They charged me extra for the broccoli. It might have been a good idea to let me know that before suggesting it. My husband had the Lasagna. It was just ok as well. Service all the way around was somewhat slow. Food was not worth the price paid. Definitely won't be back.

The prices in generally are pretty great for the serving size. I'll definitely be back!

Not very welcoming, I felt more rushed. I ordered a Turkey sub and fries for lunch. The sandwich was nothing special. It really looked like a sub you make at home with cheap packaged sandwich meat and slice cheese. The meat was only a very few slices. The fries were ehh... they charged .50 for a cup of ranch for the fries which was fine. I've seen these in many cities that I've traveled in. I'm not sure if they all have the same practices or not. It's just seemed mediocre. Maybe I just didn't make the best menu choice...‍
