Non elaborate food type of restaurant. Dining room area is very modest with just what it needs to function. It is what it is. Steak, salad and bake potato. Salad is simple served: Lettuce, a tomato edge and desired dressing. Same with the stake. Your beef with bake potato (butter and sour cream as an option). That's it.

I said "surprise me" and he and the team did so and also were highly impressive.

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.
