Simon Pearce

Simon Pearce is the home base of all the Simon Pearce Glass stores. They create amazing glass pieces at this factory. In addition to their glass factory they also have an amazing restaurant as well. We are at the restaurant and had the most amazing meal. For starters we had the parsnip soup which was so velvety good. For our entrees my girlfriend had the horseradish cod fish and I had the Angus NY sirloin which was cooked perfectly, served with mushrooms and fingerling potatoes. It was cooked perfectly and tasted even better. For dessert we had the Pavlova which was delicious.

What an incredible experience. My husband and I came on a Sunday afternoon to celebrate his 50th birthday. We started with the Vermont Cheese Plate. I cannot remember having an app that I enjoyed with so much enthusiasm. We ended up running out and buying all the cheeses and recreating the dish at home later that week. My husband got the steak frites and I had the butternut squash gnocchi. Such amazing food. Combined with the views, the glass shop and watching glass blowing, this was the perfect afternoon.

Great deck over the dam.views are out of this world. The glass products are top notch. Go down stairs and see how glass is blown into shape. The glass makers are very friendly and talkative explaining everything

This is an amazing restaurant, but not easy to get reservations during fall foliage season in October. Two months in advance I was able to book lunch, but not dinner. They told me to book six months in advance for next year.

Our table for lunch overlooked a covered bridge and waterfalls. Service was friendly, prompt and very efficient. The menu selections were creative and delicious. The cheddar soup was wonderful, the green salad with added salmon was very delicious, and the sesame chicken was tender and certainly large enough for a dinner entree even though this was lunchtime. The apple cake with ice cream for dessert hit the spot. Plus we had some nice glasses of Pinot Grigio with our meal.

Make sure if you come for dinner it's early enough (depending on the time of year) for there to be daylight so you can enjoy the views from the restaurant and also outdoors nearby.

This is a first rate dining experience. Don't miss it if you're in the area. Also be sure to visit the Simon Pearce store right next to the restaurant and see the glass blowing on the lower level, which also has an outside area where you can get some great views.

This is a glorious place to go to see glass-blowing. They are extremely talented. Everything in the store is beautiful, and the price fits that beauty. If you can get a reservation in the restaurant, I highly recommend it.

This restaurant is stunning. The outdoor seating provides beautiful views of the river and covered bridge and the dining room itself is very pretty. Our sever, who I believe was named Sue, was exceptionally friendly and attentive. I loved her whole vibe. We enjoyed the Vermont cheese plate, house greens, horseradish crusted cod, pan seared pork porterhouse, and 2 desserts. It was fun to pop into the retail area and check out all the interesting glass items before dinner. We couldn’t help but buy a glass Christmas tree!

Beautiful glass works. Please visit the store. Amazingly nice glass pieces for sale. Restaurant has some really good food. Limited menu but definitely enough to please most folks. Food and drinks were great. Reservation highly recommended

Another great lunch at Simon Pearce Restaurant with my family. We ordered classic Vermont cheddar soup, green salad with warm goat cheese and seared salmon. Also enjoyed Steak and fries with delicious aïoli, with bread pudding, and ice cream for dessert. The food is delicious as it is beautiful.. The scrumptious bread basket with whipped butter was hard to resist. Nothing disappointed. All food was five star and thoughtfully tailored to our dietary needs. A great way to escape a dark rainy day!

I love going here! It's a special place to meet for a holiday lunch. The food is outstanding and so is the atmosphere and service.

The glass blowing activity was really fascinating. They have a large variety of glassware. The merchandise is in general expensive but the price is justified for the quality. Even the Martini glass was super heavy which speaks a lot about the quality.

We didn't eat anything at the restaurant since we couldn't find a table even though we tried to book at least 1 week ahead. The restaurant was super busy when we visited the store. Definitely recommend making a reservation at the restaurant if interested in dining here.

We had a great time for lunch. We enjoyed dining outside near the waterfall and watching glass blowing. Such a clever concept. The food was very good. I had the quiche and Vermont cheddar soup and both were well prepared and presented. Service was excellent.

I just wandered through and admired the beautiful glass. You can walk downstairs and actually watch them blow glass. They have a fabulous looking restaurant and menu, but they were booked solid and I had been unable to get a reservation. I can't remotely afford their Glassware (small Christmas tree is hundreds), but it's a beautiful place, in a beautiful setting!

We loved everything about this place. We lucked out and got a window table overlooking the river and it was lovely. We had the mushroom toast and the beet salad for appetizers and they were both very fresh and delicious. Entrees were the gnocchi and the calamari. Generous portions and quite tasty. Apple cake ended a most satisfactory dining experience. Service was discreet and timely. We look forward to a return visit.

What an amazing experience... Magical...
When you are in this place look for Casey . She does an amazing job 😊

Awesome meals, ambiance, location alongside the waterfall and covered bridge in Quechee. We’ve eaten here many times. This time lunch was a lamb dish, with a crabcake appetizer. We know our crabcakes. This was the best we ever had. Lamb was scrumptious. Wine served in handblown chalice. What more could you ask for?

Went for the glass, tremendous line for the food. Great glass blowing right in front of you. Beautiful pieces made while you watch.

There are so many great things to say about their products. Watching the glass blowing is amazing. We went at Christmas and there were so many wonderful glass blown trees. The food in their restaurant was wonderful. Everyone working there was very knowledgeable and you could easily spend an entire afternoon.

Well worth a stop. See how their hand blown glassware is made. Great food in an elegant yet rustic setting.

Amazing views of the waterfall if you are lucky enough to grab the corner table in the glass dining room like we were! Food was good, service excellent, atmosphere unbeatable! You MUST try the maple creme brulee, it was the best creme brulee I've ever had.

As a resident, I can say that Simon Pearce is the best eating place in the Upper Valley. Their menu is full of regular favorites, all of which continue to be classic favorites. There are always some adjustments rotations and specials. Most recently, we had the hot rhubarb crumble topped with cold local Stratford Creamery premium vanilla ice cream, which is seasonal and delicious. We recently had lunch, and I inevitably ended up with a lamb burger, because it is juicy and aromatic. My wife does not eat meat, but inevitably finds seafood, chicken, or vegetarian entree which she loves. Dinner comes with fresh homemade breads and whipped salted butter. We love the carafe of pure Vermont water that is left at the table. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable and can make certain adjustments to your meal, such as saltiness, spiciness, etc. etc. when possible. The view and location is spectacular. The food is served with glassware that they produce. This is where I bring visiting family and friends. Attached are pictures of the view, the Wagyu beef dinner that I ordered, and the tagliatelle vegetarian entrée. Not included is the mussels entrée (that the 4 of us split as an appetizer) the yummy dessert or the fresh bread. The photo of the restaurant was taken by my wife from the wooden covered bridge that leads into Queechee. Looking upstream in the other direction is a beautiful vermont riverscape. Our family enjoyed poking through the charming glass store, and watching live glass making that occurs one flight down. The bar opens at 5 o’clock, a half hour before the restaurant is available. The parking is free and easy.
