The food was superb, as you 'd expect from a chef of this calibre. However that is where the 'wow ' dining experience ended. I 've not been before to Simpsons, but have eaten at other Michelin starred restaurants. On arrival we were greeted by the wonderful concierge who we couldn 't fault for professionalism. We were told our table was ready but we could have drinks in the lounge first if we 'd like. The 'lounge ' area, if you could really call it that was cold, sterile and reminded my wife an I, of sitting in an NHS dentist waiting room. Worn floors and scuffed skirting, totally lacking in any sort of atmosphere or 'theatre ' befitting somewhere that I was about to spend upwards of £100 pe...
Good evening, We have just visited your restaurant this evening and felt compelled to inform you of the excellent service we received during our meal. The meal was fantastic and our preferences were accommodated without question. I have to congratulate the kitchen staff as the food was first class the ‘nibbles’ were fantastic and the cod was my favourite dish and I don’t even like fish! A special shout out to the waiting staff that made our evening , Harriet very friendly and attentive as was Jessica , josh and Sara were the perfect hosts. Lastly was Freddie;friendly ,great fun and engaging a true asset to your team! I wanted to share this positive experience as far to often these day people...
My girlfriend and I came here for a birthday meal. We were both quite impressed by the building and the decor. The staff were polite and friendly. We both opted for the taster menu, I chose the plant based one along with the wine pairing. The food was ok, colourful, and flavoursome, but there was nothing to get exited about. I really can't see how you can charge £130 pounds for the plant based menu. It really doesn't show. Two of the dishes were a rissoto, and I felt that most of the dishes tasted the same. My favourite part of the menu was the wine tasting. Which at £95, I thought was quite reasonable. Vegetarian options: There is a plant based menu, but it is very expensive and not worth t...
Glorious and sublime food … but … felt the ambiance today just not quite ‘there’ one service member we found quite surly and cold in approach and wine got forgotten about despite ordering. We missed having pristine table linen as in covering and the room just felt a little cold and soulless. You don’t go to a Michelin starred restaurant and not expect to pay handsomely however I concur with other contributors who have reviewed in that it’s actually getting way too pricey … lovely Christmas treat for myself and my family though and we enjoyed ourselves just didn’t get the wow factor with the experience as a whole ….

This remains one of my favourite restaurants in the UK. The core is superb ingredients, expertly cooked, and served with skill. They are not trying too hard. The house and dining rooms are gorgeous. The staff are knowledgeable, professional and attentive. Oh, and friendly. I’ve become disillusioned by much more expensive restaurants which used to have a reputation for excellence (like Le Manoir), but at half the price Simpson’s delivers. Consistently.

Went to Simpsons to celebrate my husband's birthday and had made them aware of this too. The food was brilliant but felt let down that the occasion was not recognised at all. A small birthday cake as a token would have been lovely. We also went for a meal here 2 years ago for my husband's birtgday and I felt the staff had been better and more attentive in the past and had acknowledged his birthday with a small dessert, which at £130 per person for the meal is not too much to ask!
