Wanted to give 2.5 stars. Have tried this place several times and have yet to be impressed. Most recent effort we sat in the outside seating which was pleasant. The food was just OK. Mine was not hot enough. Both of our plates (rimmed soup bowls actually) looked like they had been through the war; finish worn off and all kinds of marks. Service was slow and inattentive. My wife’s beer came without a glass. Had to ask for a water refill 3 times. For a restaurant that markets and prices itself as high end, it is consistently underwhelming with both food and service.

I was there last evening for a private wedding and dinner in the downstairs room. . The young man that served us was fantastic, he was very attentive to details and very pleasant, sorry to say that I don’t know his name. We all had a three course meal ordered off a special menu, it was perfect and delicious.

Fantastic spot to enjoy PEI oysters and cocktails!! Great selection of fresh oysters and staff were very knowledgeable about local oysters and oyster production. We enjoyed a few appetizers and drinks, and everything was superb!! I would highly recommend eating here (a local told us to try it) and can't want to return on a future trip!

Very enjoyable dinner as a couple: we split the wedge salad, 12 ounce tenderloin, and stuffed potato; all these dishes were excellent, with possibly the best wedge salad ever! We mentioned to our waitress, Emma, that we had just arrived in Charlottetown. She and the bartender came up with a handwritten list of their recommendations of places to visit for our stay: other restaurants, hikes, parks, and even a favorite coffee shop. Highly recommended Steakhouse!

Not worth the inflated amount of money you'll pay. The lobster dip was way over cooked, when I received it it was very greasy and the cheese had broken down to curdles. The calamari we ordered was also overcooked, very hard, dry and looked like crumbs. My husband ordered a bowl of seafood chowder, the bowl was very small and shallow, it turned out to be a cup of chowder. The service was very slow, it took more than 3hrs just to have a lunch and the server messed up our bills and had to redo them, we were a group of 7. Don't waste your money

Outstanding ambiance, food and service. Just what you should expect from a high quality steakhouse. A well deserved reputation as one of , if not the best fine dining experience in Charlottetown. Our server whose name I didn’t get but was from Ireland was just the right balance of attentive without being anywhere near overbearing. A perfect 2.5 hour experience and the Ardbeg striploin is a must for any Scotch and steak lover

We ate here with a group and had no reservation but they managed to squeeze us in on the outside patio which was great. The waitress done a fabulous job at making sure we were looked after very timely. The food was excellent I had the halibut which wasn't over cooked like most places tend to do, The whole group was very satisfied with their meals. This restaurant is a little more pricey for a budget conscious person but well worth it.

Our service for dinner was great. Our Caesar salad for two was sad. Romaine was tired and the dressing almost non existent. My halibut was sadly over cooked. My husband had the tenderloin special. Tenderloin was cooked to order, but vegetables were cold. We let the waiter know and hot vegetables were provided. Disappointing considering the high price of the meal.

Had a nice meal here on Friday night. Started with cocktails. Had Tuna Crudo and the beef tartare for apps. Then I had the 6 oz filet mignon with gouda crust and partner had 12 oz steak with asparagus side. I also threw on "market price" lobster tail (note market price is $30! now, I probably should have asked). I had sticky date pudding (toffee was nice and buttery yum). Good bottle of wine and tip and bill was around $500 which is a bit on the high side for this type of restaurant for me, but I can't say anything bad about the food. Service was great as well. The apps were pretty large so we ended up taking most of the steak home with us in a doggy bag.

First of all the service was excellent but that was all that measured up. The wait between appetizers and main course was WAY too long! The meals were mediocre, my steak and scallops was disappointing, the scallops were hot the steak lukewarm. Explained to the server and she returned my plate, which was back shortly after with virtually no change, the steak (same piece with the missing portion) temp still lukewarm. I refused the offered return again and ate most. My meal was comped but a disappointing experience.

We were really looking forward to a nice steak dinner and were excited about our first visit to Sims. It is located in a lovely historic building in downtown Charlottetown. Sadly it may be our last. We were seated in our booth quickly when we arrived and our wait staff were very friendly. The waitress was quick to accommodate my wife who has a glutton intolerance and provided glutton free bread while I was started with some excellent tea biscuits. Unfortunately the wine we ordered turned out to be not in inventory, after some searching, so back to the wine list. We did end up with a very nice Brunello as a second choice however that ended up being the best part of the evening. We decided to share a Caesar salad to start - I have never been served such a limp bit of lettuce, ever. Moving on we ordered the Cow Boy Steak for Two (30 oz bone-in rib eye steak). I chose the steak frites as my potato and my wife had the roasted potatoes. The steak frites arrived in a huge mound covering half my plate and were limp and not very warm. No hint of crispness at all. None. The steak seemed to be cooked medium rare, as ordered, however what a workout the jaw received in trying to consume it. Huge disappointment would be an understatement. A significant amount went back without comment from the waitress. The writeup in the menu about the care and aging of the meats at the restaurant failed to come through in the final product we were presented with. No inclination to return on our part.

Excellent service. They even brought my dog a bowl of iced water on the outdoor patio. Terry, our server, was attentive, personable, and professional. The food was amazing. Yes, it is pricey but that was the best steak we have had anywhere. The sticky toffee pudding was delicious but pretty sweet so I recommend sharing. Overall, an excellent culinary experience.

Getting home for the first time since the pandemic started, I was eager to visit Sims - a regular stop during my visits. (Actually, usually a two or three stop when I'm home.) It never disappoints. It is busy - always busy and difficult to just walk in unless you are sitting at the bar, so make a reservation in advance. The steaks are delicious, cooked to perfection, and all the sides are a treat. Good appetizers, fantastic oysters, and some of the best service in Charlottetown. The wine list has taken a hit over the years. It still has a couple of gems and is larger than most places in town; but it has certainly been streamlined. Still, it is worth the trip alone. The staff are great. First, the host/hostesses are very polite and friendly. And they deal with a lot of people wandering through the door. The servers can fall behind, getting a few too many tables, but they are knowledgeable and professional. One of the best experiences, though, is to sit at the bar and enjoy the company of the bartenders. They always seem to find interesting characters with style and the gift of gab. I may have to make one more trip before I leave.

Excellent meals! We had a very nice lunch one day, so nice, that we came back the next day! I can be a bit of perfectionist when it comes to a steak, and I have to say that the steaks I had here were above many that I've had over the years. The steak was cooked to perfection, lightly salted, and tender. The pan fried/sautéed golden potatoes were great and so were the lightly steamed vegetables. We truly enjoyed our meals and can highly recommend it!!

Came back to this place 4 years after my first visit to Charlottetown because I remembered the delicious locally sourced dishes that were served in an elegant and cozy historic building. The second time was even better because we had the pleasure to be helped by Jade. We overheard guests come in asking for her and it’s no wonder, she was attentive without being stuffy and gave us great suggestions on dishes and on local sights and made us feel most welcome on her beautiful island. Experience and talent in hospitality is not that easy to find, especially during this pandemic, this lady is truly a gem. Another sign this place is a winner, locals are also regulars. So if you are looking for great food and service, just grab a seat at the bar and look out for Jade, She also whips up a beautiful hand-shaken rosemary daiquiri. Enjoy, you’re welcome Tip: Great place for solo traveler
