What a cool restaurant and just beautiful historic house! Earnie is a charming host and it was so fun to hear his story and how he saved this place. We need more people like him! So dinner and service... Janice sp? Was a joy and very knowledgeable about the wines and entrees. The food was great and service was laid back and relaxing. We were not rushed and just enjoyed our time in this historic place. In the end we got to try some killer homemade ice cream. Wow!!!!!! read more

The Sims House - The entrance - American Near Me - Jupiter, Florida

We had a lot of fun at Sims house the other night. We sat inside because we wanted to experience the total feel and ambiance of this historic restaurant in a house. The food was very good. The waiter a young eager man was a little rough around the edges and seemed he would be more comfortable as a waiter at Dennys. Sims house is pretty expensive but the quality was there. Unfortunately the wine list was very expensive serving $14 retail bottles For yikes! $72!! We all agreed the dinner was a great experience. Would we rush to go back??? Not sure read more

I had the worst dinning experience of my life at The Sims House. My husband called ahead to make a reservation, and when we arrived, they rudely told us we did not have a reservation. After speaking with another staff member, they confirmed we did in fact have a reservation and led us to our table. After that, we proceeded to order two different red wines, which were some of the worst glasses of wine I've ever had in my entire life. They were also hot. Not room temperature, but hot. After that, we proceeded to get the meatball appetizer and the truffle fries. The meatballs arrived and were cold/frozen in the center. The ricotta that came with it was also frozen in sections. The truffle fries were something I could have purchased from the grocery and heated up in my air fryer. At that point, my husband and I decided we would leave and get dinner elsewhere. We have never left before entrees before. I was hoping to have a great experience at this historical home in Jupiter, but I was left extraordinarily disappointed. read more

Absolutely amazing and such a unique experience! There is nothing like this place, so much charm and history. It's family owned and run, food is incredible. Our server was John, he was great! We will 100% go back. read more

Please, please, please make a reservation and go! The menu is limited but amazing! We shared the Filet Oscar & the Snapper Piccata, both were out of this world. It's a 100 yr old historic house, small but quaint. Seating indoors or outdoors. Reminded us of the keys, but better food. Just go! read more

Wonderful evening. I love the passion the owner Ernie and his lovely wife Johna have about preserving history. I know he fought for a long time to keep Jupiter from tearing the historic home down. Several members of their family work there. It makes for a lovely intimate restaurant. The ambiance is great. Ernie was kind enough to share the history of the Sims House with the patrons. The food and wine were excellent. We are definitely going to return. read more

I just called this utterly pompous place with my 315 area code but I'm a born and raised Floridian... they were so rude and offensive! I just asked what the average price per person was and they told me it's best that I do not to come! I dine at Michelin star restaurants and have been in the hospitality business for 30+ years! I have never been so offended in my life! Just cancelled my reservation. Please avoid this place at all cost! We HAD a reservation. Your answering service wouldn't answer a simple question and was totally rude! And HE IN FACT did say "we suggest you do not come"! My entire family heard it! Hence my utter disgust and disbelief! read more

Our first time at this under the radar gem. One of the best restaurants in Jupiter. Exceptional service, food and ambience. Beautiful courtyard oasis in Jupiter. Outstanding team from welcome to conclusion. NYC quality with locally sourced food. Very impressive. We will be back again! Highly recommend. read more

Lovely historic setting on the patio. Food was delicious-2 fish dishes Mahi was especially delicious, and the skirt steak was great. Such an eclectic place, that we all enjoyed, even the impromptu speech about Jupiter history given by the owner was appreciated by us on our first visit. Service and the whole atmosphere felt very personal. We'll be back with more friends! read more

Delicious food. Great service from Alex. Would strongly recommend going for a quiet, calm night. Beautiful location with great solitude. read more

I had the pleasure of eating at The Sims House last night and it was an absolute amazing experience. From the moment we walked in I was greeted with genuine excitement and warmth. This place is a true Gem to the community and I am happy that it was preserved and nurtured by passionate people that make you feel at home no pun lol. The Lemon Caper Fish Piccata over Linguine was amazing! Looking forward to coming back again, can't wait to try the churrassco. Thank you Ernie, Jon & team for the impact that you provide in the community. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for so long and my only regret is not making a reservation sooner! The service was great and ambiance is pure Jupiter: beautiful and laid back. The food was great as well; we got the Mahi-Mahi, Shrimp Scampi, and Steak Churrasco and all plates were cleaned. Highly recommend going and supporting this business. read more

The space was very nice. It was a beautiful evening with a nice breeze and we had an outdoor table. Our server was a very nice kid. Those were the highlights of the evening. Apps were ok. Edemame were ever so slightly overcooked. They were spiced with Siracha. I liked it but others thought it too spicy. Shrimp ceviche was good + but I never had ceviche served with waffle fries. Didn't really go. Seared Tuna was cooked very nicely but had a sauce on it that was way too heavy for the fish and over powered the tuna. On to the mains. 3 had the fish special that was yellowtail snapper, served over linguine. It was swimming in the picatta sauce. And for $56 for a piece of fish and some pasta, they should have served it with KY! Although you might want that much sauce for the linguine, it was way too much for the fish. Last one had a salad with grilled salmon. Salmon was cooked perfectly but for an $18 charge for the salad, they could have included a few more leaves of lettuce. We brought our own wine and paid a $50 corkage fee. However that was worthwhile as their wine list was more than 3 times retail and offered pretty poor options. Don't get hypnotized by the house. But, the only reason to dine at the Sims house is if you want to drastically overpay for mediocre food and wine. Come to the think of it, not unlike many other restaurants in this area! read more

Very nice small restaurant in an old home. Not sure about the inside dining outside. It was wonderful and gorgeous night. Downside - was greeted by young man in jeans and a T-shirt and sat at the table with a burlap covering My wife had the lobster/fish dish and I had shrimp on lemon pasta. Both were very good but expensive for what you got .Also wine was $18 a glass. By the time we were done the two people diner only with two glasses of wine each was $178 - ouch. Probably will not be returning. read more

We were very excited to go here. Nice to hear the history of this location and a nice atmosphere. They do offer a "secret" menu but be careful prizes are also secret. The starters were nice but the piccata from secret menu was not good at all and that for $56. That's insane. Even the top restaurants in Jupiter don't charge that much. Glass of wine $18.. Be aware if you wanna make reservations and you don't have a 561 area code he is not going to respond!! read more

The history of the this house is cool. The ambience is quaint and relaxing. The staff is very nice and attentive. The food is over priced for what you get. It's a great spot to stop for drink or two and an appetizer. read more

Truly a gem of a place! Hidden treasure local restaurant that encompasses the history of its past into its core and the owners took the time to share some of that historical knowledge with everyone and took the time to share their vision which was such a special touch. Highly recommend read more

Wonderful private dinner in a historic dining room. Ernie entertained our group with history of The Sims House which made the evening extra special. Delicious food, excellent service, highly recommend! read more

Excellent food and service. Staff was great and the owner stopped by to chat. Nice guy. Go to this place!

I have wanted to go to this restaurant based on all the wonderful reviews. they only serve beer and wine. their wine list was a bit pricey, . Ordered 3 appetizers fried calamari, muscles, they do not serve bread, wish they did to dunk in the sauce from the muscles The third app was a short rib and black bean egg roll, that was very good. one person ordered the shrimp fra di avlo in a red sauce over linguine, which he showed the waited the picture which he saw on their web page, the waiter asked the cook if he could do it. We were told yes but they brought out lemon shrimp butter over linguine We shared 2 desserts, but they do not serve coffee. The yard is very nice to eat and relax in. Amazing the owner reached out to me today to invite my husband and I back as his guests because he wants to make my husband the meal that he wanted, I have to say that is very kind and generous of him. He truly cares about his clients Looking forward to sitting down with Ernie read more

Always a great meal. The fish is fresh and steaks are high quality. It's always fun to see what specials they put together. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Ernie always has a good story. We continue to go back and bring new people with us every time we do. read more

Great experience. Locally run restaurant with warm friendly staff. An old piece of Jupiter transformed into a great dining spot. The food was great, lots of specials. But it was the staff that made it such a great experience. Will gladly return! read more

The best unique special dinner experience. The food was amazing the vibe was fantastic. So different than the commercial experience we are all used to here in Florida. Will definitely be going back soon. The fish was perfectly cooked, the pork belly was amazing and the desert was fantastic. Can't wait to go back! read more

Always great food, attentive, and pleasant staff and super relaxing ambience. We absolutely love this little hometown treasure.

Cool location... but definitely overpriced. We ordered the specials (we never received a menu, thought it was specials only). We paid $44 for a very thin chicken cutlet with a side of potatoes.. no special sauces, no love in the dish. My husband got what he thought was fra'diavlo which was actually fried calamari, & squid with pasta & jarred tomato sauce- $55. We can go to Buccan for a better price. I have previously worked in the biz for 8 years and continue to do the books for a high end restaurant, so I'm used to the time & love that should go into dishes over $40. ( and I know the cost of food & labor) I don't want to bash them but we'll never go back & suggest others to only stop for a drink outside. We honestly felt robbed- we were shocked getting the bill after what we were served. I hope they can either drop their prices or make the food worth the $200 we spent- which is why I wanted to share my thoughts. (The table next to us got very quiet & whispering once they received their food & I think they were disappointed too.) read more
