Simon Pearce Quechee Reviews
Nice to go your the place and have a meal.
Amazing to see the glass blowing and happens all day long which is nice. Went to the restaurant as well. Was pretty good but definitely pricey and food was good but not crazy. Overall had a good experience- nice service and great atmosphere. Enjoyed
Great food in wonderful setting in Queechee above a dam.
The best restaurant in the Hanover area. Can watch glass blowing downstairs which is cool to see.

Had a great lunch at Simon Pearce restaurant! Food was exceptional and the restaurant itself was just a beautiful space. From the large old doors to the arched window, it was everything I hoped for in a New England establishment. The service was grea
Nice atmosphere, average experience
This was our first visit to Simon Pearce. The location overlooking the waterway is great, beautiful actually. Our table was right on the window, so we had a wonderful view. Our server Nancy wasn't much help, seemed overly busy. Cheddar Soup an
Very disappointing. Food and atmosphere dreadful
We had booked this as our final meal after travelling for a month in New England. We really looked forward to it. We were shown to a desolate corner. It was incredibly cold, so I had to put my coat back on. They put the thermostat up 5 degrees in
We had a really wonderful lunch at Simon Pearce.
The little "biscuit" nuggets and butter held us over while we sipped our Spanish sparkling wine. We shared a salad with arugula, Brussels sprouts, candied walnuts, cranberries, etc. and the sesame chicken with cold noodle salad. Both were m

Highlight of our trip. Loved shopping, watching the glassblowing, and dinner. The glass blowers were super friendly and answered questions while working. The restaurant is a must! It was amazing.
Not what we expected
We made our dinner reservation a month ahead. We are 73 celebrating our 51st anniversary. We were told we could come early and enjoy a drink at the bar. When we arrived an hour before our reservation hoping to wait in the bar we were told all the sea
A Pricey Treat
This was a second visit using a gift card which is the only way I could justify spending one hundred dollars for lunch. Two of us. A beer and a wine, no dessertโฆ..quiche for my friend and a salad for me-we did share a soup. The quiche was generous,

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.
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 thought our server, although efficient, seemed ambivalent and n

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 didnโt get our pergola until 6:20 because they couldnโt find our server. After being very patient to get seated, our food didnโt show up for ove
Great food and beautiful glass wear in the shop
Excellent food. We had main courses for lunch but couldnโt 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
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.
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.
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&
Drinks In Proper Glassware
Have eaten here on a few occasions. On occasion you can get in without a reservation but youโre better off making one just to be sure. Itโs a lovely spot. Never had any service issues. Service is relaxed, but efficient. The food is good enough a
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!

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

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
* MaternalRecord73, 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.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 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 MaternalRecord73 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, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73'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.
