" Beautiful restaurant with great service and even better food! My friends and I tried a few different dishes and shared them all, and I must say, everything was fresh and well-prepared. The octopus was a standout, so tender and flavorful. The only criticism I have is that the space can feel a bit noisy when it gets crowded. Overall, a place I’d definitely recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited Simar for my sister's birthday dinner, and I can honestly say it was a delightful experience! From the start, the complimentary seafood broth was a welcome surprise, packing a punch of flavor. We all tried different dishes: the paella, grilled octopus, and shrimp tacos, and while everything had good taste, the paella didn’t remind us much of the traditional version. The service was excellent, especially from our server, who was attentive and friendly. We will return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simar is a wonderful seafood restaurant with a lovely vibe. We dined here on a Saturday night and were impressed with the menu options. Our group shared various plates and everything was delicious! My favorite was the mixed seafood platter—it was plentiful and satisfying. The only drawback was finding a parking spot nearby, which was a bit of a hassle. Overall, I would come back again for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to try Simar Seafood after seeing all the positive reviews and it didn’t disappoint! The moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with smiles and made us feel right at home. We ordered the calamari and tacos, which were both delicious but I'd say the tacos were a tad salty for my taste. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, perfect for a family meal. Overall, a good experience with a few minor points on the food being slightly over-seasoned. I would definitely recommend it to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just ate dinner at Simar and I must say it’s top-notch! The freshness of the shrimp and the flavors were incredible. We ordered a variety of small plates to share, and they were all flavorful. I particularly loved their ceviche, which was fresh and zesty. The wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu—I really appreciated their suggestions. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming as well! Will definitely return for more! " (*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*)
