They say when a Resturant is crowded, the food is great…. Well they weren’t lying! Rum punch was 10/10, oxtails were a traditional Caribbean flavorful with ginger and peas! I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and my waiter Mike was the best! I definitely will be going back!

My husband and I visited this restaurant three times in one week while on vacation in Brooklyn, from Miami, Florida where we resided and every experience was exceptional. The scenery was beautiful, the space was open and comfortable, and from the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth. The host and servers made us feel genuinely welcomed each time. The customer service was truly outstanding.
A special thank‑you to Sherice, who served us twice that week, and to Jared, who took care of us on our third visit. You both showed such genuine hospitality, and it was a pleasure to dine with you fort lunch and dinner.
The food and drinks were absolutely amazing. The flavors were spot‑on, the portions were generous, and it felt like one of those meals that stays with you. My husband and I are from Jamaica, and we have to say we felt a little touch of home. The dishes carried that authentic Jamaican soul, with an extra special twist that made the experience unforgettable.

10 outta 10 would recommend.
A time was definitely had. We made a reservation ahead of time, which was perfect because we were seated immediately with no wait. Living in NYC, you already know that even with a reservation there’s usually some wait, so the fact that there wasn’t one at all really set the tone for a great night.
The atmosphere was really nice. There was good music, great energy, and a fun vibe all around. The food was good, and our server Mike was absolutely amazing. He was super friendly, attentive and made sure we were taken care of the entire time without ever making us feel rushed. Allan was also great because he cleared the dishes that were used in a timely manner and kept everything neat and organized for us. Ben, the person who brought out our food, was amazing as well and added to the overall positive experience.
One of my favorite parts was seeing the security dancing to the music because it honestly added to the energy and made the whole place feel even more alive. Overall, I had a great time and really enjoyed the experience. I will definitely be going back.

My husband and I came to The Simpson’s for lunch after a long morning. Our server Adrian was amazing. He provided excellent service and was always attentive to our needs. Our food has always been outstanding and Adrian’s friendly, attentive service matched the quality of the meal. Thank you Adrian for making our time there so relaxed after a crazy morning.

Amazing place, food is very good. Macaroni and cheese wasn’t as great as I expected but it was good. The oxtails were fantastic, but I don’t think the macaroni next to the oxtail makes for a very good matchup.
The 10 pound lobster was good, didn’t seem like 10 pounds of lobster to me though. That coconut curry sauce was excellent. Salmon dish was excellent, nice proportion size of salmon. If you get the kids chicken meal, be surprised that you’re gonna get a lot of chicken strips good amount of fries.
Very disappointed, we didn’t get to have the tiramisu and the lava cake. They ran out, ;( whatever happened. Server was good, good energy. Took way too much time clear dishes from our table. Had to remind him a few times. Low selection of sparkling wine, mixed drinks were good. Good music along with the atmosphere.
Take your family and friends here for nice evening.

My server Adrian was a gem!!🫶🏾 I have stomach issues and Adrian went above and beyond to ensure that the food that I was interested in/ordered would not affect my stomach negatively. He ensured that my party and I was well accommodated! Though this was my first encounter with him as a server, I can infer that he takes pride in providing top tier service🤩 The restaurant’s ambiance and music selection was pretty good as well. I can’t wait to visit again🥳
