Your waitress that hosted table 31 smelled of weed and had the worst manners. As I spoke with the hostess and security she came running over and began speaking at me as if I weren’t a paying customer and was asked by myself and the security guard to move away. She wouldn’t leave until her words were heard. She walked away from a table she was serving to come share her kind words. All because we asked her for a picture she said not at the table come let’s go somewhere nice as we got up and began to walk with her she walked away without notice and began taking an order. All she had to say was no or just finish us out we paid we left a decent tip the whole

We had a small family dinner get-together, and all the entrees were delicious. Diamond, our server, was pleasant, and the manager was attentive. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

First time at The Simpsons and I must say it was excellent!! My husband and I had no regrets. The food and drinks was the best so far in all the Jamaican foods we ate in Brooklyn. The server was always checking in to endure all was ok , never felt ignored . Was recommended by a friend to us and we already started telling friends to check it out.

Nice place for a quick dinner. Had the jerk chicken could’ve been cooked longer, but the rice and beans and sweet plantains were the best.
