Company description Simms Restaurants was founded by third generation restaurateurs Mike and Chris Simms, together with their father Tom, a hospitality legend. Amidst delays in opening their original concept Tin Roof Bistro, the team took on a tiny Manhattan Beach space to open the South Bay’s first craft beer pub Simmzy’s, in 2009.  Three short months later Tin Roof Bistro opened its doors bringing a California wine country bistro to the community. In 2011 the Simms’ partnered with Chef David LeFevre to open Manhattan Beach Post.  Building on their partnership, The Simms-LeFevre team later opened Fishing With Dynamite in 2013 and The Arthur J in 2015, also in Manhattan Beach.  Meanwhile, in 2012 Simms Restaurants ventured out of Manhattan Beach to open a second Simmzy’s in Belmont Shore, followed by additional locations in Burbank, Venice Beach and most recently Huntington Beach.  Now open at The Point in El Segundo, Lil’ Simmzy’s on the Deck represents the group’s tenth restaurant and aims to maintain the same unwavering commitment to provide a guest-first experience.
