Our aim at Simmer is simple – providing you with the honest-to-goodness pleasure of eating and drinking while you relax in your favorite neighborhood bar. Whether you’ve come for the food, drink, or both, we hope you will feel right at home. When you step into Simmer, you’ll be greeted with a friendly smile. We’ve fashioned a warm, comfortable dining room that spills over into a spacious outdoor patio, complete with an open fire pit and tranquil water feature. Enjoy “Happy Hour in the Round” during the warmer Colorado seasons when we open up our overhead doors at the back of our bar, creating 360° of indoor/outdoor seating. Whether you are looking for an upscale décor restaurant for a date night, a casual vibe for a business lunch, or a laid back ambiance for a fun night out with friends, Simmer is the choice in West FOCO.

    Ok salad but not really worth the price especially with the added cost of shrimp.
    SimmerResponded 4 days ago
    Thanks for visiting and the feedback. I'm sorry the salad was not up to standards. I'd like to remedy this and will reach out privately. Again, I'm sorry.

    I met a friend for dinner. Our wait person was superb. She was friendly, helpful and attentive to us throughout the evening. I had beef stew and Brussels and I was very happy with both. The tempranillo was a nice compliment to both. My friend had a burger and a beer, and she was equally happy. Thank you for an enjoyable evening!

    The food was good but what made our evening more enjoyable was our server Maddie. She was fun to talk to and has a great sense of humor.

    Food was OK (nothing special), drinks were pretty darn good, but when we still lingered at 8:30 (we had a 6:30 reservation so not a looong time), an employee (my husband saw him in the kitchen) walked in like a customer and said, "oh, I didn't think you were still open." Would have been better if our server had asked us to leave. Left a pretty bad taste in my mouth.
    SimmerResponded on December 30, 2024
    Hi Lisa, Thanks for visiting and your review. I'm very sorry about the behavior you experienced last night. I appreciate the information and will follow up on this right away. This is not how our team should have behaved. We will use this to make some improvements. Sincerely, Chris

    Once again, Simmer did not disappoint. The wine was great and the food reflected their ongoing efforts to subtly take their menu items to new heights. Service was terrific, and it continued to reflect the attitude and tone we have grown to expect there. Another pleasant evening!
