Simon Parrilla Bar & Grill

Food was good, Service needs improvement.- This is one of my favorite restaurants when I visit Colombia. Food was just as good but either the restaurant is too big, too wide to handle ( which i ll be surprise bc the ones in Colombia as as that big) or they were under staff. My server and other servers walked by my table and always avoided eye contact with us unless they were coming to deliver a plate. Once that was done, no follow up or checking on us. Even to close us out i had to chase a manager to get the bill delivered and still waited 10 mins and chased a server to close out my tab. They need to work on customer service and train people specially if must of their staff are very young employees.-Other than that, food was super tasty, generous portions and drinks were really good.-Ambiance was super nice, with good background music and beautiful decoration.

We went here to celebrate a friend's birthday. They were able to accommodate our large group of 14 adults within an hour's notice. When we arrived, we were promptly seated outdoors. The inside is spacious with lots of seating and they had live music playing inside that day. The outside patio had a dj playing reggaeton music.The drinks were strong and promptly served. As for the food, it was delicious. My Colombian friend approved and she is very selective about Colombian food in the area. The service for food was a bit slow but somewhat expected with the size of our group.2 of my friends ordered the fried fish. The presentation of the Mojarra Frita was impressive as it was skewered on a stand as if it was swimming above your plate. It was served with rice, plantains and a side salad. Cue the song lyrics, "But First Let Me Take a Selfie!". After the photo worthy pics were done, kissing their fish, they proceeded to devour it, face and all.Another friend ordered the grilled chicken breast. The same sides were served with this dish as well. She ate the chicken and seemed to enjoy it. Personally, I would have ordered it with some sort of creamy garlic sauce, which they do offer. It was served very plain with no sauce.The empanadas only came with beef. They were large and had a generous amount of a beef and potato filling. Perfectly fried and served with 2 sauces. They were delicious.Since I couldn't decide on what I wanted, I went with the Bandeja Paisa. This provides a variety of a few meats, along with the usual sides. It was served with a nicely seasoned tender steak, cooked to your desired temperature. It also came with a Colombian Chorizo sausage and fried pork rinds for the meat. All excellent. For the sides, it came with plantains, rice, beans and an arepita. The rice was some of the best tasting rice I have had in a while. It was perfectly cooked, seasoned with salt and I believe butter. A fried egg was placed on top. I only wish the egg was runny, although some may have preferred it cooked this way. The beans were also very good.I would definitely come back to this place to enjoy the music and great food.

Wow, SOOOOOOOOOOO glad we stumbled on to this restaurant, and what a discovery experience this was!!Atmosphere? Uh, eclectic, fun, colorful, and homey feel. Service? Sweet, friendly, and attentive!Food? Whoa...!! There were just absolutely nothing that we didn't like. Our Fav had to be the Empanadas. We ate the 4 that came with the appetizers, AND, had to order another 4 for the road. Yes, it was THAT good!!Main entrees, we had 1 lunch house special combo of sautéed steak bits & onions, chicken soup, salad, rice & beans! Cleaned it!! Wife had the grilled chicken breast combo plate. Large portion, took half to go for later

A very typical Colombian restaurant. Friendly staff, traditional plates and great lunch specials. Not very cost friendly but worth it.

Omg omg how do I even start...this is my second time here. And I only came here because a friend of mine was having a birthday celebration. First the waitress that we had looked very annoyed with us, which I didn't like. We'll talk about that later...Anyways my friend he ordered two trays of Simon's Picada and 2 buckets of corona beer and 1 glass sangria. His friend ordered 1 more bucket of beers after the two buckets were done. All together we had 3 buckets of beer. I ordered one can of soda which I paid separate. The Picada was ok the meat was bit tough and the sausages was over cooked. The chicken was good though. But the food actually got cold very fast. I don't know why. ( but when the waitress brought it, it wasn't very hot either.) we sat outside and they were playing soccer game on the big screen tv . While that was being played the DJ was playing music so so loud we couldn't even have a conversation with person next to you. So we are ready to leave and I'm paying for my soda which was $3.75 for 1 can of soda....then the waitress told my husband that he had to pay for 1 bucket of beer that he never even ordered. Everybody on our table, which was 10 of us. All said we had three buckets of beers not four..she insisted on saying that we ordered four buckets of beer.. first she didn't come to our table to ask if we needed anything. She didn't ask if we wanted water. She was walking around and I had to ask several of other waitresses to get us things. It just was a hot mess! I was very disappointed in that place and I don't think I'll be coming there again. I would definitely NOT recommend this place. It was entirely too many people cramped inside. There was not enough servers there and they were just literally running around. Over all the place was too dark.( when you first you walk in) The music was way too loud, and the service was subpar. And the food was mediocre. The fact that they try to charge us for something we didn't purchase it so unacceptable and classless.Please please check you bill before leaving make sure you are not charge twice .This is just my opinion and my review of the establishment.

Omg first time here this place is amazing everything was fresh and cooked perfectly!! Cant wait to come back. The service was perfect.

The food was excellent, the music was good, the alcoholic drinks were good but the service wasn't good. I had to get up and look for our server 4 times (including the time we wanted to pay) she literally only came to take the order and never checked on us ever again. We spend $163 and would had left a good tip had the service been good but she wasn't good at all. We have come here other times and had never had bad service until today.

Fantastic ! Great service and the food was on point ! Definitely a place we would be coming back to. The ambiance it's great very cultural and fun. Everything was really clean and the waitress (Juliet) was fenomenal attentive and did great suggestions.

Sería muy buen mejorar la locación .Estuvo bueno el partido, debería poder cobrar la entrada del cover con tarjeta , no había datáfono y le cajero estaba malo.Daban una cerveza x el cover .

el servicio totalmente asqueroso y las meseras unas faltas de respeto. ordene unos trayendo y no me dieron salsa, la volví a pedir y me la tiraron, luego pedí mi reembolso y ni siquiera ofrecerieron una disculpa. Sinceramente el peor servicio que he recibido. NO SABEN TRABAJAR BAJO PRESIÓN
