A new restaurant has finally opened in Ludacris’ old eatery on Juniper Street in Midtown. Simons, located at 793 Juniper Street NE, is primed to turn into a top spot for intown eating.
Simon’s is the brainchild of former CPA Simon Guobadia, who has put together a slick, walnut-trimmed lounge and bar that looks both classy and familiar cosmetically. On the exterior, the eatery’s wooden deck beckons people-watchers and those that want to be seen to settle in and indulge.
“Simon’s joins the long-standing and highly regarded Midtown dining scene at 5th and Juniper, bringing its innovative cuisine to the blossoming community with signature dishes such as the Nicoise Salad, Guinness Braised Short Ribs, Red Snapper and Dr. Pepper Glaze Pork Belly,” the restaurant says on its website.
The Midtown location, 793 Juniper St., has been the home of several eateries in recent years, most notably Straits by Ludacris and, most recently, Time Restaurant & Lounge.
