We were a little concerned after we saw all the negative reviews here, but our lunch at Simon was a wonderful experience. The hostess was warm and friendly, and service was attentive but inobtrusive. The tuna dynamite and heirloom tomato-burrata salad were delicious appetizers. My husband had the filet mignon ""cobb"" salad for his main course, which was well executed. I had the angus burger. It was very good, but as my husband said, a burger half the size at 2/3 the price would be even better. It's absolutely enormous, and I think it was about $17.\r

It wasn't on the dessert menu, but we asked for the junk food sampler and the kitchen delivered. What a blast! \r

Loved the bread basket. The little rolls taste like soft pretzels, and the oniony cornbread was delish.\r

Loved the bathroom! Whoever designed the ladies room put as much care into the design and materials in there as most places put into the main restaurant. The diningrooom is beautiful, and we had a great view of everything from our circular banquette.\r

We were a little concerned about the valet parking, so we parked across the street at the mall for $1! I highly recommend this option if you're not in heels.\r

Simon ain't cheap. Lunch for two without any alcohol was over $100. Still, the food was excellent, the service top notch, and the ambiance fantastic.
Pros: Food, ambiance, excellent service, clean and stylish bathrooms
Cons: We parked across the street to avoid problems with the valet, which seem to be rampant from what other reviewers have said.
