My friend and I met for our June birthday celebrations and everything was perfect. We arrived during happy hour and took advantage of discounted wine and appetizers. We ordered bacon wrapped peppadew peppers, Asian hot cauliflower wings and filet (mignon) tacos, which we’re substantial and flavorful. For dessert we had chocolate mousse and key lime pie. Everything tasted great and was a good value. The service was friendly and attentive even though it got busy. Take a moment to read about their 4% service charge on all checks. Simmer makes a good case for supporting staff and keeping costs down elsewhere and that care shows through.

Fun selection and great service. Tasty peach margarita and buffalo rib. I wonder if you can get Nashville hot cauliflower wings. I didn’t notice the happy hour but it was nice to get $2 off the signature cocktails.

We loved it! We got the lunch specials. The chicken and also the caprese half sandwiches. Amazing. Husband said the chicken and apple sandwich is his new favorite sandwich of all time. The crab Rangoons were so good. Served hot and the dipping sauce, though unique, paired perfectly. Also recommend the chocolate mousse and the simmer slammer. We will be back!

Brock crushed it. We come here frequently and it is always great. The Brussels sprouts are glorious. The variety is excellent. It is a high quality local restaurant with an upscale but comfortable atmosphere.

Great set up! Enjoyed the peach themed menu this time of year. Outdoor seating was also great, a lot of space and not on top of the other diners. Service was good and easy to get in and out of. Highly recommended!

This is the best food I’ve had out of several restaurants between Denver/Aurora & Fort Collins. The steak on my salad was out of this world. The service was top notch. I’ll be going here over and over again. There just aren’t words for how amazing the quality and flavor was!

Can’t say enough good things about Simmer. I’ve yet to try everything on the menus but I plan to. The atmosphere to the cuisine is excellent but the real preponderance has to be the staff. We have a 1 1/2 year old which can make dinning out difficult but Deanna, Reagan, Mia, Lauren, and Sydney have all been very kind and accommodating. 11/10 would recommend

We had a great experience here! Good vibes. It smelled great right when we walked in, servers were awesome, and the food was all delicious! Lots of gluten free options. Highly recommend the devils on horseback appetizers.

Had a wonderful dinner here. We were lucky enough to grab a patio table and get in on happy hour. You gotta try the devils on horseback appetizer, they are absolutely fantastic. Cocktails are dangerously good! My wife already wants to go back

Good menu and food. Nice facility and outdoor seatnig. Service was distracted by other duties (bar tending and putting supplies away) but ok and nice. Food was good to very good. Rated low because of a 4% price increase they add to the bill when paying. This should simply be added to the prices shown on the menu. They say it is for the kitchen staff but of course that is a cost of doing business that should be managed in the price. Too bad because otherwise it would be rated 4 and we probably would go back.
