Visited Simons for lunch last saturday, and was very impressed with both the excellent service and the quality of the food. I would recommend the mixed cold meat and leaves starter, which was delicious, and accompanied by breads and dipping oil. I opted for the special of the day which was sea bream fillet, and it was cooked to perfection,... More

Revisiting Simon's in Oxford Street, Southampton is always a great joy. The lively atmosphere makes for a wonderful occasion. And how efficient I found the bar staff! Mixing a cocktail was certainly an art! Simon's usually produces a wonderful menu; my fish was excellent as were the scallops to start with. The staff are a friendly bunch, anxious to please... More

We had a variety of dishes and each meal was delicious, hot and all the food arrived at the table together. The staff were friendly and attentive and we all enjoyed a relaxed evening with excellent food and... More

Popped in after shopping in west quay with a friend for a light lunch as we were out for dinner in the evening. They have just launched their 'bar menu' which means that they are now serving food all day which is brilliant as we arrived about 3pm and most decent places in Oxford Street stop serving food at 2/2.30....

With regards to your comments on tripadvisor we totally refute your accusation that you both contracted food poisoning at our restaurant. For a start you each had totally different dishes and we can confirm that during this period of service we've sold 7 lemon soles and 4 pastas without any problems or come back from our customers.You will know that...

Good food, wine and atmosphere. Their new menu has a great variety and value for money. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Always a warm welcome with a smile. If you in town and need to relax, it's well worth a visit. Keep up the good work. Great team spirit.

I always know that this is a reliable choice for a nice meal out in Southampton. Oxfords makes Oxford street the location that it is.
