"The food was superb, as you 'd expect from a chef of this calibre. However that is where the 'wow ' dining experience ended. I 've not been before to Simpsons, but have eaten at other Michelin starred restaurants. On arrival we were greeted by the wonderful concierge who we couldn 't fault for professionalism. We were told our table was ready but we could have drinks in the lounge first if we 'd like. The 'lounge ' area, if you could really call it that was cold, sterile and reminded my wife an I, of sitting in an NHS dentist waiting room. Worn floors and scuffed skirting, totally lacking in any sort of atmosphere or 'theatre ' befitting somewhere that I was about to spend upwards of £100 per head on dinner. Drinks were served and were delicious. We decided to be taken into the restaurant due to the unwelcoming atmosphere in the lounge area. I was expecting great things, but yet again was seriously disappointed. It took us some time to work out what it was about the dining area that jarred, and didn 't work. The awful colour scheme, the lacklustre tables and clinical, although comfortable, chairs. And then we worked it out. It had the same feel and ambiance of the foyer area of the Core theatre in Solihull, the sort of place you would spend as little time as possible waiting for the intermission to be over. From the glaring, cold lighting in a 1990 's style, the pine beams reminiscent of functional expansive opera house ceilings, the totally lack of heating! I have had the pleasure of dining in a huge variety and style of eateries, and this was by far one of the oddest places. To spend no small amount of money on a meal should be an experience, to delight all the senses, and the food element of this was exquisite, but that is unfortunately where the experience ended, having the feel and atmosphere of a school canteen rather than a Michelin Starred restaurant of some renown. The waiting staff were attentive and professional from beginning to end. However could have been a little more 'polished ' in the finer details. Spilling the wine down my wife 's glass, splashing sauce on the table cloth. These may seem like minor grumbles, but were I wearing a very expensive suit, these would definitely not have been.

Went to Simpsons to celebrate my husband's birthday and had made them aware of this too. The food was brilliant but felt let down that the occasion was not recognised at all. A small birthday cake as a token would have been lovely. We also went for a meal here 2 years ago for my husband's birtgday and I felt the staff had been better and more attentive in the past and had acknowledged his birthday with a small dessert, which at £130 per person for the meal is not too much to ask!

This remains one of my favourite restaurants in the UK. The core is superb ingredients, expertly cooked, and served with skill. They are not trying too hard. The house and dining rooms are gorgeous. The staff are knowledgeable, professional and attentive. Oh, and friendly. I’ve become disillusioned by much more expensive restaurants which used to have a reputation for excellence (like Le Manoir), but at half the price Simpson’s delivers. Consistently.

Glorious and sublime food … but … felt the ambiance today just not quite ‘there’ one service member we found quite surly and cold in approach and wine got forgotten about despite ordering. We missed having pristine table linen as in covering and the room just felt a little cold and soulless. You don’t go to a Michelin starred restaurant and not expect to pay handsomely however I concur with other contributors who have reviewed in that it’s actually getting way too pricey … lovely Christmas treat for myself and my family though and we enjoyed ourselves just didn’t get the wow factor with the experience as a whole ….

My girlfriend and I came here for a birthday meal. We were both quite impressed by the building and the decor. The staff were polite and friendly. We both opted for the taster menu, I chose the plant based one along with the wine pairing. The food was ok, colourful, and flavoursome, but there was nothing to get exited about. I really can't see how you can charge £130 pounds for the plant based menu. It really doesn't show. Two of the dishes were a rissoto, and I felt that most of the dishes tasted the same. My favourite part of the menu was the wine tasting. Which at £95, I thought was quite reasonable. Vegetarian options: There is a plant based menu, but it is very expensive and not worth t...

Good evening, We have just visited your restaurant this evening and felt compelled to inform you of the excellent service we received during our meal. The meal was fantastic and our preferences were accommodated without question. I have to congratulate the kitchen staff as the food was first class the ‘nibbles’ were fantastic and the cod was my favourite dish and I don’t even like fish!
