I have been enjoying the fruits of the cooks, servers, and front-end staff's labor for years. Over 5 years. Since becoming a teacher, I am required to leave home earlier, compared to my schedule in previous years. For the past 2 years, I look forward to visiting Simmer Down restaurant to purchase my breakfast. The variety and delicious food selections are abundant. The cook has gifted hands. The servers are pleasant and attentive as I communicate my order. The cashier, usually an assertive, stern Caribbean woman with a serious facial expression and a gentle approach to customers, ensures customers are aware of the cost of orders. She also ensures optimal financial gains for Summer Down, as she could be heard informing her colleagues of the accurate costs of products. Simmer Down is worth visiting for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I particularly enjoy that music is played throughout the day, rather than the news. Music adds a warm welcome upon entering the restaurant. While I've tried every dish excluding the shellfish, I recommend the vegetable chow mein, curry chicken w/potato, macaroni salad, and plantains. The cornmeal porridge and bread and bun are always fresh and well good. Edit on January 22, 2024: I recommend making all purchases with cash. This establishment apply a surcharge for all debit/credit card transactions. Sometimes up to .89 which is significant compared to other businesses.
