    One of my favorite restaurants in NY. Sunday brunch feels like a big extended family. Great food, multi-generations, cozy and modern with the best energy. Best French Toast. Amazing grilled cheese with tomato sandwich . It’s all good no matter when you go. Classic NY.

    My first time @ the Simpson and my overall experience was really good. I made reservations and I was concerned about a wait although I had a reservation because of the amount of people waiting for a table when I got there. Thankfully, we were seated promptly. My wife and myself had the Rum Punch and it was fantastic. We had the bourbon bbq wings as an appetizer and it was good. Service was fantastic as our waitress was very attentive to us. Overall, the food was very good. I would go back again based on my experience.

    What a delightful outing! I thought every dish impressed but none as much as the crab fried rice. From the chive work to the perfectly picked and sauteed MD crab, this dish hits! Our server, Isabel, was soulful and helpful. The only two notes we've have were that it was odd to receive the delicious broccolini way before everything else (twice actually as we loved it enough to order a second plate) and the Ramos Gin Fizz was just good, not great (Try one at Tooker Alley if you can).
