" Tonight was our first visit to Simar and we were in for a treat! Our server made fabulous recommendations. The grilled shrimp was juicy and seasoned wonderfully. Our appetizer of calamari was well cooked; tender but still crispy. I loved the vibrant atmosphere and cheerful staff. The only part we didn’t enjoy as much was dessert; it was okay but nothing remarkable. We will definitely be returning to experience more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friend and I stumbled upon Simar after searching for a family-friendly seafood restaurant, and wow, what a find! The playroom kept my little one entertained, while we savored delicious lime-grilled fish and vibrant ceviche. Service was friendly and eager to please. The decor felt warm, making it a perfect dinner spot for families. I must say, the seafood here really felt fresh! I’m excited for our next visit soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had an amazing dinner at Simar and I can't stop talking about it! All the seafood we've tried was fresh and expertly prepared. We had the ceviche and mixed seafood tacos, both bursting with flavor! The restaurant was buzzing with energy, and the decor gave it such a vibrant feel. The only critique I might have is that the stairs leading to the restrooms could use better lighting. That said, it was an overall fantastic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved our dinner at Simar! The fresh chowder served along with the tortilla chips was a great start. I had the lobster and shrimp combo, which was packed with flavor and the portion size was very filling. My husband decided on the mixed seafood plate and was all praises as well. Everything feels modern and clean inside. Carlos, our server, was very attentive and made excellent recommendations. I can't wait to come back and try the octopus! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience! The ambience was beautiful and laid back. Carlos, our server, was amazing—so helpful and attentive. I had the coconut shrimp, and while they were a bit sweet for my taste, they were still tasty. The rest of the group enjoyed their seafood dishes immensely. I’d recommend checking out Simar if you’re in Austin; the service alone makes it worth the trip! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family had an excellent time at Simar! We dined on a Friday night and were thrilled with the live music in the background. Orders ranged from tacos to seafood stew, and everyone was satisfied with the flavors. Our server was very friendly and attentive, ensuring drinks were filled and food served on time. The decor was nice too, creating a warm family-friendly environment. I would recommend the shrimp tacos! They were delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Simar after the rave reviews from friends and what can I say? It definitely lives up to the hype. The seafood was incredibly fresh, particularly the grilled octopus! It was cooked to perfection, tender, and seasoned just right. The drinks were equally impressive, with an extensive cocktail menu. Service was top-notch; our waiter ensured we were never left wanting. The only downside was the ambiance; while it was nice, it could use a bit of coziness to match the delicious food. Overall, I highly recommend giving it a try! " (*Curated Review*)
