   Absolutely amazing, the steak, the jerk lamb chops, the mac and cheese, the cocktails. Definitely a place you can sit in for hours. Great vibes, very comfortable, super suggested. If you’re going to Barclays Center and need to pass time before an event, come here! Make sure you make reservations and beware, ordering certain menu items come with a wait time longer than usual but I’m telling you, promise me you’ll trust me, IT IS 100% WORTH the wait, especially if you’re ordering the lamb chops. Such a perfect place to pass time before an event at the Barclays!

   I was little irritated at first because my reservation was set for 7:30pm for myself and my wife, we were made to wait in a very small space with about 10 other guests who were also waiting, they finally seated us at about 8:00pm. The food and the service were pretty good although my wife said the jerk oxtails were a little on the salty side. Overall it was a good experience… Probably will dine there again.

   The appetizer platter is a great choice to consider. The Brown Stew Red Snapper was delicious.

   We were a party of 5, staff was welcoming and seating was prompt. What impressed us was the service and Yadira, our server, who was war, attentive and made suggestions which were all excellent. Yadira is an extra miler even with several tables to serve she always check on us!! My family will certainly return to Simpson as well as recommend it.

   The food is always good here and the service is always wonderful. Sometimes the music is too loud. I have been here a few times and I’ve enjoyed each time.

   The wait was too long. Had a 5pm reservation. Arrived at 4:45pm but wasn’t seated until 5:30pm.
