Stunning Anniversary Dinner at a Vermont Gem! My husband
Stunning Anniversary Dinner at a Vermont Gem! My husband and I chose Simon Pearce for our anniversary dinner while visiting from New Hampshire, and it was absolutely the perfect choice for a special celebration! We arrived early due to a torrential

We wanted to come for the falling water view but when we made the reservations, it stated that we could not request where to sit. So we took our chance that a late afternoon lunch would afford such a chance. Alas, no. Our reservation at 2:30 had us s
What a disappointment.
My wife and I have been eating here periodically over the last 30 years. The food was always fresh and creative. We started with an old favorite: their cheddar soup. It was lumpy and not particularly cheesy...too much flour in the roux? My wife had

We had such a fantastic meal at Simon Pearce! Well worth the drive to Quechee. Our meal was significantly better thanks to our fantastic server, Suzanne. She was so friendly and kind, and genuinely seemed invested in every single table enjoying wha
We had a truly divine dinner here.
The halibut was cooked to perfection and the lamb shoulder melted in your mouth. Presentation was great eye candy to set the stage for the palette. Service was excellent and the panna cotta to wrap up the meal was to die for. Lovely setting as well.
Nice Lunch in Beautiful Setting …
Beautiful setting with water views and charming ambiance. Best Bloody Mary in years. Delicious food overall … especially the calamari and quiche. Fish and chips tasty, but oily. Bread was great! And, oysters deserve special mention - yum. I thoug

Superb
This is is a fantastic restaurant. We had the cheese platter and then one of us had the Crusted COD and the other Lamb Shoulder. They were first class and a beautiful presentation. The waitress was very knowledgeable and very good. A must place to wh
Memorable llunch
Always an awesome lunch with great food, service and surroundings. We brought people here who had never been to Vermont. It was our first stop and a fabulous one, as expected.
Lovely lunch and viewing of beautiful glass
We went to see the glass blowing shop and the actual glass blowing downstairs. The products are very expensive and all clear glass but beautiful. Then had lunch in the restaurant which was lovely. They grow a lot of the produce or bring it in f

DO NOT buy their factory seconds (blems)!! They are total garbage!! They are nothing like the glass pieces they are supposed to resemble. I purchased some whiskey glasses that did not have the thick bottom as they were supposed to. The bottoms were t
Pleasant Atmosphere
We had a reservation, but got there about an hour early. They were able to seat us in just a few minutes. Nice view of the river. Complimentary bread and scones served at the table were very good. The fish and chips was delicious. Toured the gift

Found this through AAA before realizing a bunch of friends had been there and also loved it. We stopped with the kids on the way to Burlington to stretch legs and have lunch. When you enter the building you are in the display room/gift shop so you do
We enjoyed a late lunch at the restaurant.
The view of the covered bridge and river was so enjoyable in the screened porch. The cheese was top notch. Our server , Michael, provides a great experience.

Just went there and the door was open, but everything was closed when I went inside. An employee came by so I asked some questions about the restaurant since it (and Simon Pearce ) came so highly recommended. He basically kicked me out and told me I
Nice but too expensive
The restaurant was nice and the atmosphere good. We were seated in the windowed room overlooking the falls which was very pleasant. My issue is that although the food was very good, the portions were extremely small and extremely expensive. I am a
Know before you go
Terrible service. Just as bad as you get for the price. Showed up at 6:05 for a 6pm reservation and didn’t get our pergola until 6:20 because they couldn’t find our server. After being very patient to get seated, our food didn’t show up for ove
Great food and beautiful glass wear in the shop
Excellent food. We had main courses for lunch but couldn’t resist the delicious puddings. As and added bonus we looked around the beautiful glass in the shop then went to watch the glass blowers downstairs. We will definitely come back.
WOW, WOW and WOW
Went with daughter and college friends while I was in town Fantastic menu (I had the duck and some great appetizers, my daughter and her friends loved the chicken and the gnocchi) Incredible setting - each room beautiful, we sat by window over looki
Great food, service and ambiance, BUT...
This place was once my number 1 choice in fine dining in the area and is approx. an hour from my home. The food, service and atmosphere and very good and always have been. So why the low rating? I'm fairly well off and told I'm somewhat di
Beautiful atmosphere, great food.
Wait staff is knowledgeable and attentive. Highly recommend for any occasion!
Great spot, nice service
We were lucky to get a spot outdoors overlooking the falls. The server and restaurant staff were excellent, the drinks come in their own lovely Simon Pearce glasses matched to the drink. We had Caesar and arugula salads, both with grilled chicken as
Came here for graduation dinner and it was prix fixe.
The food was decent but not worth the price. Service was pretty slow even though we were one of the few parties there at the end. We ended up getting the dessert to go since it was taking too long. Restaurant had a nice ambience and decor and enjoyed
Went there with my sister in laws for "girls" lunch.
Service was excellent and the view outside is very scenic. Ordered various lunch menus. All were very delicious, grilled chicken salad the chicken was a little bland. However I ordered the crispy clamari salad and it was excellent. The calamari w
Last minute decision to make a lunch reservation on Fourth
Last minute decision to make a lunch reservation on Fourth of July worked out nicely. Went antiquing, grabbed some craft beer nearby, hiked the gorge and then had a wonderful lunch overlooking the Ottaquechee River.
A great place to eat, especially if you need a few $85.
00 wine glasses to take home afterwards! Be sure to catch a server who is having a good day, we didn't. The food was delicious and impeccably prepared. No kidding, and the scenery out of our window was epic.
Drinks In Proper Glassware
Have eaten here on a few occasions. On occasion you can get in without a reservation but you’re better off making one just to be sure. It’s a lovely spot. Never had any service issues. Service is relaxed, but efficient. The food is good enough a
Be careful what you click!
While this has always been a favorite of my wife and I, I was extremely disappointed to find that a gift certificate given me by daughter could only be used in the overpriced retail store and not in the restaurant. It's like a "bait and switch&
Great lunch spot
Lovely quiche and salad for lunch, booking advised as it gets busy. Restaurant overlooks the river, you can visit the glass blowing workshop on the same site. Large carpark.
Dining experience at Simon Pearce never disappoints!
Had a great late lunch at Simon Pearce in Quechee VT last month. I had visited in 2022 and it was awesome to return for another meal. We had a view of the river and falls, service has an efficient and friendly vibe and meal was well served. Hubby had

This is a beautiful restaurant with great farm to table food options. There are some fun inventive cocktails and a good list of local VT craft beer. It is all served in Simon Pearce glassware which might make you take a walk to the restroom which is

This was a very unique experience- in a good way! I had no idea that this venue does their own glass blowing & used the waterfall to power their operations. Not only do they blow their own glass but they also have a store where they sell their m
Gorgeous glass with the chance to see glass blowing
The store is beautiful, overlooking the river and the covered bridge, and so worth a stop just for that. The glass is so pretty, although very expensive. The glass blowing display is downstairs, but the hours are limited, so you may not get to see gl
Loved The Area
We went there to buy a specific item that my daughter wanted. The location of the store/restaurant is so lovely by the covered bridge and waterfalls. And I think the Simon Pearce products have become really beautiful, if expensive.
A Must Visit
This place has three primary things to offer as each one are worth the trip. (1) the glass blowing in the lower level was amazing. Watching them create a wine glass right in front of our eyes was so cool, I could have stayed for an hour just for that
Very disappointed in the lunch.
This was the second time the service and food was very disappointing. It is a shame it used to be very good!
What an experience! If you're looking for a place to wow
What an experience! If you're looking for a place to wow visitors with exquisite food and ambiance this is the upper valley spot. There are great views of the river and waterfalls, home goods store, and a glass blowing factory tour all in one facilit
Another fantastic meal at Simon Pearce.
My wife had the vegetable gnocchi and loved it. Lots of mushrooms and squash. She enjoyed every bite. I had the sesame chicken with noodles (Simon Pearce staple dish) and it was incredibly delicious. Dessert consisted of the maple crème brûlée and

Flavor-free cuisine
Nice waitstaff, industrial atmosphere. Cod arrived cold, sent back and repaired by adding more mash potatoes and heating fish. Result was hot dry fish on top of blah mash, surrounded by a moat of blah balsamic refuction.Why the chef can't heat plates
Beautiful location and building, very romantic.
The menu is consistently good but pretty tired however. They've got a monopoly on their caliber of restaurant in the area and without competition I see how it could make them complacent.

This is a review for their glassware.
I ordered a menorah that was steel and glass. In the cleaning of the glass with hot water (to remove wax from the candles) it cracked. After a brief correspondence, they have replaced it at no additional cost. Their customer service was terrific, and

Very interesting and beautiful handmade glass . Large store located on top floor with the glass blowing shop downstairs . You must go down and watch them create. From the shop you can step outside on a viewing platform to see the waterfall and co

Connect with users posting reservations for Simon Pearce Quechee
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Simon Pearce Quechee. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Simon Pearce Quechee at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Simon Pearce Quechee page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Simon Pearce Quechee to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Simon Pearce Quechee!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
