Service was excellent. We were a bit disappointed with our two favorite dishes. The Crispy Chicken with Noodles recipe must have changed as it wasn't as good as we have had over the past 4-5 years. It wasn't crispy and it had a weird sauce. The Maple Crème Brûlée did not have the rich maple flavor as in the past and it only seemed to have maple in the toasted sugar on top. Not the same delicious rich flavor as before. Simon Pearce's food has slipped in quality that we have come to expect over the years. The Cheddar Soup was Excellent and the special Black Bean Soup was good, but would have been elevated to excellent with either a slice of lime juice or topped with cilantro.

The Vermont Cheese soup was the best we have ever had, and the lamb shoulder and gnocchi were outstanding. This experience exceeded our expectations, and the expectations were high.

Delicious lunch!!! We enjoyed our lunch test very much!!! My husband had the chicken quesadilla special which he enjoyed very much as well as a lemoncello mojito!!! I ordered the gnocchi which was also yummy! It contained tomatoes, corn and other vegetables in a delicious fall sauce!!! Although we were full we decided to share the chocolate bomb dessert. Our waiter recommended it and he was right it was so good!!! We try to stop up at least once a year for lunch as well as doing a little shopping at the store!!!

The combination of excellent food and a beautiful setting at Simon Pearce is what keeps us coming back. Overlooking the dam and natural beauty of the river, we enjoyed wonderfully fresh oysters, tasty salads and mouthwatering entrees that included halibut and lamb shoulder. The desserts were worth making room for, and the variety and quality of drinks made the meal even more enjoyable.

Went here a few years ago and loved it. Not so much this time. It appears to have lost its quality and charm. Would not go back.

Our annual family trip to Vermont always includes Simon Pearce. It's the centerpiece of our long weekend! It never fails to impress, ambiance, service, food! I refer everyone I know going up to Vermont to experience Simon Pearce!

The restaurant was so cute and the food was excellent but our waitress was downright rude. She made in known that she did not want to be there serving us. made for an unpleasant experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal to celebrate our anniversary. Meghan our server made us feel special in honor of our day. Thank you!

Waitress not friendly-just doing her job. Ordered salty cod which was so salty it was not edible. I marked on the reservation that this was our wedding anniversary & we were seated in the center of the room. Would have been nice to have a view overlooking the waterfalls for our special occasion-no real though put into making it a nice experience.
Lovely place, and wonderful dinner!! I had the roasted corn salad which was the best salad I've had in a long time! Then I had the horseradish crusted cod and I almost licked the plate. Had to restrain myself. It was so delicious!! My husband had the lettuce wedge salad and the halibut entree, and he loved them both as well. Very generous portions- I was crazy full by the end. But did I keep eating? Yes, yes I did. We shared the maple crème brûlée for dessert and it was fabulous. I hope to return soon! Wish I could give 10 stars, I would!

The setting is beautiful in any season -- and we have been there in every one. Staff is knowledgeable and very accommodating. Food is generally fabulous, though on this last particular visit we were not quite as impressed as usual. But we would go back again.

Although the menu is not too different from what it has been for the longest time, the dinner was exceptionally well prepared and presented. The bread was to die for, the bourbon glazed salmon was wonderful and the mouse desert was a perfect way to end the meal.

This place was a great find. It made our day. Asked for a table by the window n it was breathtaking looking out at the falls. The waiter was exceptional n very personable. As an added bonus watching the workets make the blown glass truly made my day. They even took questions while working .

Wonderful spot to visit! Beautiful view and amazing decor. Fun treat to watch the glass blowing after a meal, and of course pick up a piece for yourself in the store. Food was good too!
