One word, amazing!! This cozy little spot is worthy of a visit during your travel plans to the island. You can’t beat local oysters, seriously, these little babies are sold all over the place, and you are getting them water to table. They were wonderful, we ordered a few freshly chucked and broiled, delectable! Then came the Caesar salad, it was the best that I’ve had in a while, and highly encouraged. And now for the knockout dish, steak, their sirloin pepper steak was on point and cooked to perfection. Thanks for the wonderful evening and experience.

We ate in this restaurant during a particularly frenetic evening, but despite this we were treated to friendly and personalized service from the waitress/barmaid who went out of her way to make everything work! The food was excellent; My partner's salmon was perfectly cooked and my ribeye melted in your mouth, not to mention the potatoes! Good choice of wine and local microbrewery beers which are very delicious. I would come back without hesitation.

The server was fantastic, she knew the menu very well and answered all questions. We did visit for seafood and they were out of lobster. Appy's were very good but when our mains arrived it was warm but not hot.

Stepping into the dimly lit ambiance of this steakhouse, we were immediately captivated by its elegant and mysterious allure. The dark interior exudes a sense of sophistication, creating an intimate atmosphere perfect for a memorable dining experience.From the moment we were seated, our server, whose name was Kelly, effortlessly elevated the evening. Her warm demeanor and impeccable attention to detail truly set the tone for the entire meal. Kelly’s extensive knowledge of the menu and wine selection ensured that each dish was expertly paired, enhancing the flavors and overall enjoyment of the meal.As for the food, it was nothing short of extraordinary. The steaks were cooked to perfection, each bite bursting with flavour and juiciness. The sides were equally impressive, complementing the main course beautifully. From the creamy mashed potatoes to the crisp, fresh salad, every dish was crafted with care and attention to detail.Overall, our experience at this steakhouse was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of the dark, inviting atmosphere and the outstanding service provided by Kelly made for an unforgettable evening. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply craving a delicious steak dinner, this establishment is sure to impress.
I am very impressed with Sims' lunch!!! The lunch menu features delicious choices under $20, the atmosphere was pleasant with music playing softly, quiet/happy diners nearby and the service was the best! Thank you Sarah H! I ordered the Beef & Broccolli, and it is divine, was full of flavours and on top of ramen noodles. Expertly prepared. So good. Everything was perfect. This is a unknown lunching gem!! Highly recommend checking out their lunch offerings. You'll be impressed, like me.

No soap in the men's washroom, ran out of fingerlings ( French fries)Don't support birthday celebration by giving birthday person a birthday slice of dessert, then change there minds in a pathetic attempt of customer service by giving the birthday boy 2 strawberries and 6 blueberries with a about to fall over candle. Such a pathetic attempt at proper restaurant customer service. Just bring a piece of cake?! I don't understand the thought process. Now my pasta, it was just short of ok and no problem charge 50 bucks for seafood pasta but at least add some shrimp and give a sailor's plate full. It's pasta for heaven sakes.Man that portion was small and missing a key ingredient. My wife said the crusted halibut was just barely good and dry along with her undercoojed red potatoes and suggested it be a larger portion as well. Do you see the frustration?For 4 people 3 appetizers and NO booze 350 bucks.

I proposed to my now-fiancée at Sim's during the holidays. The staff were fantastic in ensuring we had the perfect table for the occasion. Originally, I had planned to propose outside after dinner, but the weather had other ideas. On the morning of the proposal, I contacted Sim's to change plans and do it inside the restaurant. They were amazing in helping with my proposal plans, even coordinating with my photographer's arrival just before the proposal. The meal was also absolutely delicious. It turned out to be the ideal experience for a truly memorable moment, and I appreciate the staff's effort. Highly recommended.

Six of us were there for lunch. After being seated and ordering we had to wait over 30 minutes to receive our food. No explanation was offered just an apology. We ordered the fish and chips, a hamburger and a seafood chowder appetizer. Nothing complicated. The seafood chowder was okay but the bacon taste overpowered the seafood flavors. (If you like seafood chowder the merchantman serves a better one).
