Directly off Atlantic Avenue, The Simpson is a Caribbean-influenced restaurant and bar where business lunches skew celebratory—think oxtail, jerk-seasoned mains, and rum-forward cocktails in a clubby dining room. Weekday lunch is calmer than evenings, making it a strong choice when you want to impress a client or reward a team with something more memorable than salads and wraps.
Must-Try Dishes:
Braised Oxtail Platter, Jerk Chicken Entree, Rasta Pasta
What Makes it Special: A polished Caribbean dining room steps from Barclays where lunch can double as a celebration.
