Simone on Sunset

We visited Simone on Sunset for my dads birthday celebration. Nice, tucked away location in Houston. They were able to accommodate our party of eight in their main dinning area. My first impression when walking in was chill and romantic, but as the night progressed you could see more guest and noise levels rose. They didn't have much of a menu, but their chicken samosas and margherita pizza was a great starter for the table. The location is more of a low key starter location before a real night out on the town. So grab you a couple of cocktails and enjoy the vibes. The ambience is lightly dimmed and intimate. There also are private rooms that can be reserved if you have larger parties. Will be sure to give them a try another day soon.

The Simone on Sunset is a hidden gem (at least to us)! It has a beautiful patio, fantastic drinks, and awesome bartenders. The place is spacious and was very lowkey for a Sunday evening. Happy hour is every day except Monday and Tuesday. There's even a baby possum that wanders around that is surprisingly cute and adds to the charm. The bartender mentioned it's a friendly regular!

This is a cute little bar my bf took me to. Not crowed, not loud. It was a nice spot. The truffle fries are really good along with their drinks. Also the service is really good. Will be returning.

Cute little wine bar that we almost missed it blends right in. I enjoyed the food and the bartenders were very helpful and welcoming. I will say their parking isn't very good unless you want to valet, we went on a non-busy Sunday and could hardly find anything so I can't image a busy day. The shrimps and grits were my favorite, the sauce was so flavorful and a pretty decent serving size for one person. If you're looking for a nice local spot to have a couple drinks and some pretty good food definitely give it a try.

Wonderful visit to Simone on Sunset! Went for a birthday dinner, so we were a group of about 10. There is street parking available or complimentary valet (they accept paypal or cash tips). Enjoyed the happy hour $20 house bottles of wine, spinach artichoke dip, margarita pizza, truffle fries, truffle popcorn, and calamari. Food was good, excellent service from Alicia, and great for our large group. Great place for date night or girls night! I loved the music playlist too.

Cute place with a patio! Great place for a date night or to get together with a small group of friends on the patio they have little seating areas for groups

The location for me is subpar, it received the hype last fall via social media but this restaurant has been in the Houston food scene for some time. As for location, I think that is how it has stayed afloat for years. I would not say it is the best wine bar I have been to, it's alright. I would not indulge in the food too much, they could barely make a passable coffee drink. The location and atmosphere is fabulous, but that cannot be justified when the wait staff and bartenders on duty can barely make an edible plate of food or coffee that is drinkable. I had to send my coffee back since they could not ask me if I wanted it hot or iced, and I prefer hot. As for the "wings", I took a bite and that was that. I will say their cheesy appetizers merit it enough justice to return but I would be wayward of making it a regular appearance due to the nature of the food and service. Parking is also TERRIBLE and I dined in on a night when it was quite slow. I would think twice and look for another spot before making reservations here, you can find better.

Cute ambiance for a date, decent cocktails. Service was good with good timing for a date, not trying to rush us out. Food was good-- liked the steak tartar!

I was so excited to finally try this place, but boy, it was a huge let down. Giving this place 2 stars just for the ambience. The food was not great at all. The pizza which was about $16 tasted like the frozen pizza you get from the grocery store. You are better off going to Pizza Hut than getting pizza from here. The "truffle" fries tasted very basic. It was regular fries with very little cheese sprinkled on top. If you want real truffle fries, I'd suggest heading to hoppdoddy, where the taste and quality of the fries are WAYYY better than these. They only had ketchup and chutney that goes with the samosas. They did not have any other sauces. Also, the drink I ordered looked beautiful, however, they burned something in it to make it smoke, which left particles of ash and dust inside the drink. It also tasted burnt and ashy which kind of ruined the drink. I've had many flaming and smoked drinks, but this was just HORRIBLE. My friends tried it as well and none of us could finish it because of how excessively smoky it was. I came his for a birthday happy hour and they didn't even do anything special for the birthday girl, when we asked. Overall, it was a bit pricey for the quality of food you are getting. I'm always willing to pay for good food, but this just wasn't it. We will not be coming back, especially when there are so many better options at rice village nearby. The parking situation is also a bit of a hassle because there is only valet or else you have to park way down the street and walk. They have about 4 spots in the front the restaurant, which they also make you valet for. Not everyone wants to valet, so it would be nice to have an option to park somewhere nearby.

I've actually enjoyed my simple and quick time at Simone. The parking was a headache and left a lot of uncertainty, I just ended up parking on the driveway of the property which the bartender allowed. But beware, of parking around here. Its an issue that needs to be dealt with first before stepping in. The lounge/bar itself is towards the back of the building and NOT the welcoming front entrance where the door is locked. How akward.Once inside, you'll it'll feel right. Since I landed during Happy Hour, I elected to get the house red and white with their truffle parmesan popcorn. I thought the popcorn was going to be a smaller serving, but it came out in a big bowl reminiscent of a bucket! Love it.I'll have to bring the wife here one day. Great place for wine, lounging and some snacking.
