I love this restaurant, it's one of my favorites. However, I was disappointed in the Thanksgiving meal. The turkey was over salted (and the portion was small). The mashed potatoes were runny and the stuffing was just ok. I did love the pecan pie. I guess the old saying, you get what you pay for rings true for this special event. I would not come back for the Thanksgiving dinner again, but will be back for all else.
My drink only arrived only after the appetizers had been consumed. They forgot my food entirely when the entrees arrived...and finally showed up after everyone had finished. My friends ordered glasses of wine, but those too were an afterthought, served way after the entrees had arrived. And the food?....inedible. DRY DRY DRY overly-salted duck. The heaters ran out of propane and we were freezing. DON"T GO. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
Love this spot. Went for happy hour and got the Parisienne soooo delish! Prepare to be in a food coma after haha

Some people just work in the wrong industry. Bartender when we went did not see customers at the bar that were waiting for menus, to order, etc. When he finally came around he would take one order and walk away while we were also trying to order food. And when he brought the drinks, he was short and didn’t want to be bothered. So we closed out and went to the Culver Hotel

Definitely recommend coming here for happy hour - the food and the pricing on that menu is incredible. Other items are a little pricey for what they are but everything is delicious.
Delightful lunch with my best friend a glass of champagne a lovely patio. We were very happy as usual.
This was not good.
Tried Simonette on a whim as I was attending a film festival at the Culver theater and I now consider it a main go to when I'm in Culver. Excellent in all categories.
Incredibly loud, incredibly slow, duck was overcooked beyond recognition. Overall not great.
It was a true disappointment. Simonette had been a sure bet in my mind, ever since last March when the food was a sure thing. Yesterday, however, it was a disaster. The trout was paper thin, drowning in so much of lemon “sauce” I had to return it. The burger I ordered in return was barely eatable.. the service was slow and no ambience can substitute the lack of what I came there for- food.

The perfect spot for a work meeting. Ask to sit "outside" which is really a back area with a beautiful tree and great atmosphere.
Our experience to celebrate multiple bdays there with a party of six was wonderful! Great food, attentive staff and fun and lively atmosphere.
My favorite creme brulee! With espresso 🤌
Had an absolutely lovely dinner celebrating my son's 13th birthday. Great food, great service, loved the whole thing! Thank you!
This has never happened to me before. As our meals came out we were told there were no more of one of the dishes. What was my guest to do at that point? Terrible communication between the kitchen and waitstaff. Clearly, they are understaffed. They tried to make it right but by then it's way too late.
