What a fabulous place! Genuinely great vibes, food, and people. Probably the best espresso martini I’ve ever had, and the fries are phenomenal. Vanessa was our server and she handled everything like a champ. Love it here!

Had lunch there on a Saturday afternoon. Valet parking was already full, and it took us a while to find street parking, because the majority of streets in this neighborhood are permit parking only. We had the croquettes, gem salad, moules frites and the Parisian burger. Overall ok, but nothing exceptional. Recommend stopping by if in the area, but wouldn’t make a special trip for it.

Taking place at Palihotel, Simonette clearly delivered that classic elegant brunch vibe. Bit of feeling teleported into a French cafe, making it perfect spot for chillin' weekend brunch with my friends.
Scoring more wins, the foods were also palatable. Some of us went for their Americaine burger which came in pretty filling portions, especially as it's also served with generous fries (you could open for salad substitution as well!). My friends who opted for it said the patty was juicy and the sauce was flavorful.
I was more of the dainty side, picking their Steak Tartare Crostone, which was surprisingly not as light as I thought. Abundantly served steak tartare on top of a slice of sourdough with a hint of truffle. Simple yet doubtlessly delicate choice!
More speedy service could make it deserve the fifth star :)

Had the Parisienne Burger at Simonette during happy hour ($10). Juicy, flavorful, and perfectly messy in the best way. It’s everything you want in a burger. The sesame bun was soft yet sturdy, and the sauce-to-meat ratio was spot on. Great vibes on the patio too. Highly recommend stopping by for this deal. it’s a steal for the quality

Simonette is beautiful inside, and I delayed my lunch to coincide with their Happy Hour starting at 3:00. I was motivated by their great burgers.
Today I tried a Parisienne burger. It’s July 4, 2025, but there aren’t cookouts in my social calendar. I thought I’d celebrate the (French) people who crafted and gave us the Statue of Liberty.

Petite.
Not even have a lobby, but I love this type of French style.
I loved my seating. No body bothered one another. Sometimes through arranging the seats, you can tell a waitress’s intelligence. I loved my blue corner especially when the sun was out.
Simple breakfast to start a great day. Nothing could be better than this.
It is not 5 star, but really satisfied me.

Delicious salmon and sorel entre paired with a twist on an old fashion made for a delightful dinner. The French onion soup was phenomenal and practically a meal unto itself! The atmosphere was on point without being pretentious, and service was friendly without being at all intrusive.

Meh. They didn't have the core ingredient for more than half their specialty drinks, the menu was small, and candidly the food (avocado toast in this case) was under salted and bland.
Attempted to walk in for dinner at 5PM on a weeknight and was told the wait would be an hour and that ALL of their burgers (which make up the majority of the happy hour menu) were already sold out. Host was also fairly rude. Not a great first impression of what I’d hoped would be a new local neighborhood spot.

The happy hour deals are INSANE. I had the Parisian burger for $10, cocktail of the day for $12, fries for $5. I would probably only go for happy hour because the regular prices aren’t worth it. The service wasn’t great but not terrible. The vibes are nice as well.

This has been my unexpected favorite lately — great patio vibes and perfect for weekend brunch or a casual coffee break.
