Simpsons Restaurant

This was a wonderful indulgent treat, gifted by a good friend. We had a 3 course lunch, where the plates were small, but there were so many little extra courses we certainly did not leave hungry. For me the many tasters was wonderful as I can get bored of one large plate that loses its individual tastes. The service was immaculate, I even had a footstool for my handbag!

Simpson’s is a true gem and fully deserving of its Michelin star. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable, with Lucas ensuring every detail of our evening was flawless. His attentiveness and warm demeanor made us feel truly cared for. The dishes were stunning, both in presentation and flavor, showcasing the chef’s exceptional creativity and use of seasonal ingredients. Thomas, the wine sommelier, elevated the experience even further with his perfect pairings and insightful recommendations. His passion for wine shone through, making each selection feel personal and memorable. The ambiance was elegant yet inviting, creating the perfect setting for a special night out. Simpson’s is an absolute must-visit for anyone who loves fine dining and extraordinary service!

Faultless. Visited for my wife's 40th birthday, and was welcomed with a "Happy Birthday", a card from the team and left with a small box of chocolates, really helping to make it feel special. The food was amazing and as it was a Thursday lunchtime it was quiet, so felt like we had the place to ourselves. Highly recommend, and my thanks to the team.

A few months ago, I had the pleasure of experiencing a tasting menu at Simpsons with my family. Created by Luke Tipping, the menu was outstanding—every course was thoroughly enjoyable, with perfectly balanced taste, texture, and aroma. The service was exceptional from start to finish, with the front-of-house team being both welcoming and attentive. I’ll definitely be back again 💯

Celebrating an anniversary. The kitchen is headed up by Luke Tipping. With a very talented young brigade. Options for dining are a 3 course lunch. A classic 5 course or the Prestige tasting menu,which we chose. To begin the meal,three delightful canapes,followed by fresh homemade sourdough and black olive rolls. Served with mushroom butter and a roe dip. First course was a tasty bowl of mushroom set custard. Followed by a very pretty salmon & lobster ravioli. Next, was a little surprise extra dish of scallop with fermented carrots and black pudding. The fish course was Sea Bass with spinach cooked in goats cheese.Although it was nice,we're not sure if this combination works. A very healthy,refreshing beetroot dish was next. The meat course of Highland venison was succulent and tender. Pre-dessert was a burnt cream served in an egg shell. For the finale,an outrageous Tiramisu Souffle. With a chocolate sauce & amaretto cream. It was a very enjoyable lunch with excellent service and a pleasure to meet two young,very talented chefs, Evan & Jordan.

After two weeks of leftovers and beige dinners this was a great way to round off the Christmas festivities and start the New Year. Great evening @simpsons_restaurant Birmingham and thank you to front of house Freddy (due to be a dad any day now), waiter Lucas (good luck with the accountancy training) and Sommelier Thomas (good luck in the new role) for their friendly yet professional service. From the moment we arrived, the snacks, Prestige Menu with wine Pairings was faultless. A rare treat and great experience. Thank you for a wonderful evening. We will be back.

The Simpsons Restaurant is a delightful dining spot with a charming venue and great location. Having visited a few times, I can say this place offers a first class experience. The atmosphere is both elegant and welcoming, making it perfect for any occasion. The attention to detail is evident everywhere, from the clean facilities to the polished utensils. The food is outstanding, showcasing the best of British cuisine with high quality ingredients. While the prices are on the higher side, the exceptional food and overall experience make it worth it. The desserts are exquisite, offering a perfect blend of flavors and textures that make each bite a perfect end to the meal. The staff are attentive and professional, adding to the restaurant's perfection. Even the restrooms are immaculate, reflecting their high standards. In short, The Simpsons Restaurant is a place where great food and excellent service come together. It's a spot I would happily visit daily, knowing each meal would be fantastic. A very Rare 5 star rating from me.

Immaculately cooked food. Super helpful and welcoming team. Lovely environment. Top class.

Massively excited to try this place out-for a one off collaboration with one of my favourite restaurants in Chester, Sticky Walnut. The restaurant is in a converted Georgian building and feels quite homely. The restaurant itself is in a large extension that's quite modern, but warm and comfortable. I started with the seasonal cocktail -apple and cinnamon with grand mariner. Tasty but nothing special-I'm spoilt these days! Our meal was a set five courses, which I found out by phoning up to ask. However, when we were eventually seated and asked if we wanted the wine flight to go with the meal, I asked if I could see the wine list and the menu too first-thought that was a little odd. We sat for a good while and initially we felt a little forgotten about. Nevertheless once the food started coming it was great. I don't think I would have chosen half of it, but it's good to try new things, especially when you know the chef! We chose a nice bottle of Austrian red which went surprisingly well with each course. A fun evening! I would like to go back on a 'normal' night too, although I feel it's a place for special occasions.

I try and visit Birmingham's finest at least once or twice a year. Simpson's is the most established of this set, although I think of it as being out of town, situated as it is just a little bit beyond 5Ways into leafy Edgbaston. There is a car park on site outside although driving into it is one of the scariest driving moments I have had; I drive up the hill, onto the drive and to find the cars parked tightly on a curve. I try and find a space amongst whilst a. not marking my car and b. not hitting any number of the very expensive cars parked here on a week day lunchtime. You can imagine the food in a Michelin star restaurant and of course that's subjective but almost always will get 4 stars from me anyway. For a closet vegetarian (not a huge meat eater) I don't always get on with most Michelins because of their French influence and therefore little or no vegetarian menu. So I often end up having fish as a starter and main course as I did here, as wonderful as it was. The other issue is the desserts tend to be chocolate or fruit based neither of which I am a fan of either but I they bought out a sorbet/ice cream concoction for me. The food as you would expect is perfectly cooked, melt in your mouth goodness. However, to me that's about 60% of the experience, the rest is the service. From the minute I walked in, I a guided to the sofa and offered a drink and then bought into the lounge to await my dining partner. After choosing from the menu, we are effortlessly taken to our table with a view and our knowledgeable and friendly waiter brings our starters promptly. The bill goes over the £100 mark for two but even if it's not your thing, I feel it it's worth doing at least once.

Simpsons Restaurant was created by Michelin chef-patron, restaurateur and mentor to many Birmingham chefs, Andreas Antona. He first achieved his Michelin status in his 'Simply Simpsons' Restaurant, located in Kenilworth, Warwickshire. I knew this place was opulent and it felt good to be dining here. I had the slow cooked cheek, bavette à la plancha, Swiss chard, beetroot, grilled onions, red wine at £24.95. For someone to achieve this with no formal training reflects a deep rooted talent. The whole plate was mesmerising and it tasted so perfect and clean, the opposite of a greasy spoon breakfast. I was a little disappointed with the lack of choice on the desert menu, but in defence I do have a sweet tooth. In the end I choose Valrahona Macae and Praline Delicice. Mandarin, lemon thyme sorbet at £10.50. I enjoyed its delicacy. If you have some cash and want to impress someone then take them here.

I have been going to Simpsons for a really long time and what never ceases to amaze me is that every time is as good as the first time. The food here is incredible and can only be rivaled by the amazing service. One of the other things I like is that staff turnover is very low, so you can often be served by someone you have had previously. The chocolate bomb with the hot fruit sauce is probably one of the nicest sweets I have ever had.

Quite simply put Simpson's is without doubt the finest overall dining experience in Birmingham. The Food, Service, beverage offering and surroundings are of the highest standard. The building is listed and provides the perfect backdrop to a fine dining meal with a conservatory areawhere diners can view the chefs working in the spotless kitchen. On warm days guests can eat in the garden which is beautiful and take coffee in either of the summer houses in peace and tranquility. The menu is seasonal and although expensive (starters £7-13 Mains £17-25 Puds £10) still offers great value for money as it is some of the finest food I have eaten (including 3* restaurants). Lunchtime set menu is brilliant value at £30 for 3 courses. Service is highly efficient but not to starchy. All in all Simpsons is about as close to a complete dining experience as you will get outside of London.

We visited Simpsons on our wedding anniversary on a Tuesday evening (booked 3 weeks in advance, the polite gentleman on the phone said they were nearly fully booked already). Arrived 20 minutes before we were due to dine at 19:40 (after driving round the restaurant 3 times to try and find a car park space). On arrival we were greeted by a pleasant gentleman who placed us at the bar area, which was a very nice place to be. After a 10 minute wait we were taken to our table which was located in the main part of the restaurant near the kitchen. As soon as we sat down we were advised that as it was our first time at the restaurant we should consider the tasting menu, so the tasting menu it was to be at £70pp (it didn't take my wife and I long to be convinced by all those wonderful sounding dishes), we also went for the accompanying wine selection at an extra £45 pp, we thought this was quite reasonable as the cheapest bottle of wine on the menu was £30 (and believe me I looked through the book, yes book! If they haven't got the wine you want in their book then it doesn't exist!) The food arrived 1 by 1, I'm including only a fraction of the courses in this review as there were so many. We had foie gras ravioli, seared tuna rolled in wild sesame, sweetbreads, the softest beef, perfectly seared scallops, goats cheese, two desserts, coffee and petit fours. Each of these courses was accompanied with various purees, compotes, & tempura. One of the highlights were shavings of very tasty goats cheese that lay around the plate, what turned out to be a foam of goats cheese on the middle was accompanied with beetroot crisps on top, this was then accompanied by a beetroot sorbet, which was unusual but it worked well (even though I'm not a huge fan of beetroot). My favourite was the seared scallops with pureed cauliflower, tempura cauliflower and a raw slither of fresh cauliflower, it was a cauliflower overdose that suited me perfectly! When the waiter delivered the dishes he explained how each dish was made and what the ingredients represented in regards to our taste buds, plus. the wine waiter also explained how each glass of wine we had (different glass for nearly every dish) was specifically chosen to that specific dish to make our taste buds go wild with flavour! and he was right, the flavours of the dishes combined with the wine was exquisite, and it was all presented beautifully! The staff were friendly, polite, and experts in their field without been pretentious, even the water waiter was efficient. The only down side of having all those various waiters in such a medium sized restaurant is that you're never left on your own for more than 5 minutes (which is not a bad thing, it's just a little annoying). Everything was perfect, the Michelin stars are clearly visible here! And although not the cheapest establishment to dine in, it was worth the money! The decor was smart & classy and you never felt uncomfortable. Highly recommended for those special occasions or if you fancy a special treat! The bill came to about £240 + 12 % service charge

Quite expensive but some of the best food in the midlands I walk past most days always see the staff working really REALLY hard in the kitchens I love this restaurant and the waiters!!

Beautiful in every way. Amazing food & service.

have been to Simpsons on 2 occasions. A very very special place cannot fault the food, service or quality.

An excellent meal. Waiter and table service is top notch. The food is reasonable price for this standard of resturant. Check out the set lunch time menu. Its great food with serveral mini courses inbetween your set ones. Fantastic pprice too.

I've visited Simpsons a total of 4 times, 3 times in the evening a la carte and once on a Saturday for the set lunch menu. Every time we've visited, the service has been second to none. The food outstanding and even when I have had an issue (very tough and overcooked belly pork on the set lunch menu) the service was amazing as they were happy to rectify the problem so seamlessly. I would recommend this place over and over again - whether for a romantic date or with work colleagues. Wine list provides good choice, waiters always happy to assist and very knowledgeable, and do make sure you don't miss out on the cheese board. Absolutely heavenly place.

Excellent food, relaxed setting with first class service. Quite expensive but well worth a visit for a special occasion.
