    Came here to have a nice night out while in town & was delighted with the service & food. Drinks were delicious, the food was even better. The roti with curry was wonderful and we tried several tapas & entrees to share as a family. Dorothy took great care of us!

    What's not to say about this wonderful new addition to #stsimonsisland #yum #nomnomnom #ambience #farmtotable #foodie #creative #rundontwalk Tonight a girlfriend and I enjoyed the following shares along with a #localbrew #cocktail This place is something special to write home about. Not your normal if your Budget is ramen noodles but well worth the #gourmet #special #feels you get for the time we spent . I did see a family with young children walk in and out but my thought immediately went to the days of peanut butter and chicken fingers and if this is your grab and go moment go elsewhere. If you'd like a little #iamworthy #enjoy the #packedhouse we experienced tonite. We sat at the bar with plenty of seating (but all the inside and outside tables were full and we were #earlybirds) the waiter in itself was entertainment snd while it felt very planned and exceptional it also had an easy slide into your favorite jeans kind of comfort. #highcotton #loveit #comeagain and I hate to tell you how much i like it incase you take my seat next time. :) Once again #georgiaseagrill #threelittlebirds #zackgowen has #hititoutofthepark Was super surprised how much i liked the roti and curry Shrimp were cooked to #perfection and I'm no snob but I'm nuts about not under nor over cooking #local #cuisine that just takes #attentiontodetail #angelsellsstsimons #weloveithere #realtor #realtorlife

    The tapas are a bit small and over priced. There are larger cities with better food and drink pairings but over all it's tasty.

The flavor is surprisingly good. I will add the chips are not greasy and very tasty. Side salad is a great side option. We also loved the lemon pepper chicken wings. Very crispy and not greasy. The Havarti grilled cheese sandwich was also a hit. Handhelds were priced $15-20. And the entrees were $20+. Highly recommended this restaurant and bar. The store is a plus to the dine.

We sat at the bar but learned the Tuesday special was a flight of three bartender choice wines 2 oz pours for $15. Evidently the Wine tasting thing was not current. We've seen many restaurants don't update their web site so it's always a gamble when you show up. Not sure if it was an open table thing or the restaurant. Either way we enjoy wine so my wife ordered a red flight and I ordered a $6 happy hour Italian Pinot Noir. The Pinot was fine and decent pour and my wife sampled the flight. One of the wines was a little off and we both thought it may have soured. She mentioned it to the bartender and he shrugged it off and said it wasn't an old bottle. Mentioned it again and no big deal. Might have been nice to at least offer something else. I'd recommend ordering a glass of what you like rather than waste the $15. For dinner I wanted to try the seared pork ribeye but they were out of stock so I settled for the short rib sandwich on ciabatta bread. My wife ordered the beet and goat cheese salad which she enjoyed and thought was fine. The short rib sandwich was tasty enough but the bread was soft like it came out of a plastic bag. I was hoping for a better quality bread which is important for a sandwich. It wasn't something I would order again. Overall it's a really quaint place with isles of olive oil and items to purchase but the experience was a 2.0 and the food average 3.0 at best. I really expected a bit more especially from the look and feel of the place. Not sure I could get around to wanting to go back to try anything else on the menu. Bartender was nice but overall just not a good experience after a long day of work. I feel bad to leave an unsatisfactory score but I upped my 2.0 to 3.0 as ratings are important and it's probably at least a 3.0.

This mgmt change has without a doubt destroyed this place. We were seated outside-- our waiter (Johnny) came up to us (15 min later) with dirty dishes in my face taking drink orders. Our drinks haven't come for a total of FORTY THREE MINUTES. We checked in with them at the 20 minute mark mind you, so we gave them a reminder in case they forgot about us but instead passed it on and doubled it for the timing! There is no excuse for this. We all got up and left the table and saw our waiter inside chatting it up at the bar with his coworker holding our drinks. When I made a complaint to mgmt, it was even recognized that they've had issues with Johnny and said sorry. The whole entire staff just seemed very unbothered and aloof to everything. We have some friends who live on the island and when we asked them about the King and Prince, each and every one of them talked about how its now a shithole. They've heard stories about the staff, below average food/drinks, and overall atmosphere that has seemed to have declined when mgmt changed in 2024. So grateful for the lovely memories The King and Prince had to offer us all these years. Super sad to see what it has become and will likely get worse.

We arrived for an early dinner and we're greeted by the hostess and bartender. Everyone was very welcoming and they offered us seating anywhere in the bar area. Even though we didn't have a reservation, we were offered seating in the dining room. Once we were seated, we ordered wine and the Apple, Pecan, and goat cheese salad (split in two plates). The server brought us both a very nice portion and we thoroughly enjoyed the salad as it was fresh and very tasty. My wife ordered the Shrimp and Grits which they are known for as being notable and I ordered the Seafood Pot Pie. The shrimp and grits were excellent with a heap of blackened shrimp over a flavorful Gouda course grits. The shrimp were cooked just right. The seafood pot pie had the blue crab bisque as the base and loaded with shrimp, white fish, salmon, and small scallops. It was topped with a puffed pastry square. The pot pie was also an excellent dish that I would definitely recommend. Next time I may come back for the crab bisque as an appetizer. This is a very nice place, with great atmosphere, and very friendly service. I would give it a 5.0 and recommend you try it.

    Five stars, no notes…read more Ok, I have notes. This is the best fine-dining experience on the island. Yes, Woodside exists, and is quite good. But Delaney's is better. First, the service. I ate here twice over the course of a week, once at the bar, and once in the dining room. Michael took great care of us at the bar, and Devin was fantastic in the dining room. Also, a shout out to the short little Hispanic fellow who delivers those delightful warm rolls--incredible! The second time I visited, we had to wait a few minutes while our table was prepared. In maybe six minutes total, no less than seven different servers approached us to make sure we were being taken care of. Forget about the menu you see online. The specials are where it's at. Both meals I had, there were at least five appetizer specials, and nearly double that for mains. I won't go through a blow-by-blow of every dish, but suffice it to say every single thing we ate was perfection. And even after salads, our mains, and sharing two desserts and three appetizers, we left feeling satisfied but not bloated, a testament to the quality of the food. GO TO THIS RESTAURANT.

First I have to give a shout out to our waiter Devon. He managed to list all the specials slow enough that I was able to keep track and remember them. Usually I give up about half way through. Anyway, his service was also excellent. I ordered the duck which I have had there before and oh my goodness it was even better. The outside skin was grilled perfectly and had a nice bite to it. My husband had the pork steak schnitzel. He shared one little piece with me and it literally melted in your mouth. I told him next time I was getting it - it was that good. So big decision next time I go back as I loved loved loved the duck. We typically don't order dessert but hey it was Valentine's Day. My husband ordered the key lime pie which was monumental as he is super picky and never ever has anything good to say when he does get it. That changed- he declared it was real key lime pie and would order it again. My chocolate Guinness cake was also excellent. So as you can tell, I definitely recommend this place and the fact that they just keep getting better is phenomenal!
