Single diner, asked for a window seat, almost closing time, acted like they were doing me a favor by giving me one. The only worker smiling was the bar tender. My other 3 women servers couldn't smile or be welcoming. Terrible shepherd's pie mash potato topping so hard I had to pound through with my knife inside was all tried out. Never should have left the kitchen or been served!!!!!!!
Offered something else put I got up and left.

Such a unique setting, both with the covered bridge and water feature and the glass studio next door. The food was outstanding. I wish I lived closer because I would like to enjoy the food again. This day we had the salmon and crab cakes.

The food and ambiance is unmatched. Unfortunately, today we had an unhappy server. Kind servers certainly enhance the experience. We tried to not let her ruin our experience, but her behavior certainly did color it a bit.

Always a special place to eat. While 3 of our meals were amazing, the fish and chips were disappointing. The cod was about 1/4 inch thick with heavy breading. Not edible. We were surprised and disappointed with the quality of that meal. First time that has happened. Hopefully it was a one time event.

We've eaten at Simon Pearce for many years and rarely had a bad meal. Today was no exception! The two crab cakes were the best I've ever eaten. The steamed mussels were a little bland and a less than enthusiastic server, but overall outstanding and always a treat. Our guests from out of town were delighted.

Food & drinks were amazing. All 4 in my family loved their choices. The server was very attentive and polite. This was our third time there but it had been probably ten years since last visit. Still great!

We've been going to Simon's for many years and it has always been great. It isn't the same as it was pre-COVID, but is still excellent. The food was excellent and the ambiance is the same as ever. The menu has been modified and now longer includes some old standards like horseradish crusted baked cod over mashed potatoes. But the prices are a bit lower so, all in all, it's still worthy of five stars.

Highly disappointed all around. Food, service and atmosphere were lacking. Pasta dish had no flavor, soup had a strange lacking flavor, tuna salad was also just so so. We were there for a celebration but the waitress seemed less than enthusiastic to be waiting on us. Our party of 5 all felt the same. Did not live up to its hype
The grounds are breathtakingly beautiful, the store is stunning, the restaurant is cozy and the service is superb. We tried the cheese sample appetizer and it was very good. We truly enjoyed the chocolate cake and crème brûlée desserts. However some of our entrees had room for improvement. Both the crab cake and cod were fresh and delicious but it was missing a citrus component. The chicken was slightly under seasoned and the duck was a bit overcooked. In spite of this, we had a lovely evening and would highly recommend dining here. The gift shop is marvelous but very overpriced.

We didn't eat here, but it was recommended that if we do, go for lunch. Dinner is basically the same menu only more expensive. It was super interesting to go downstairs and watch the glass blowing!!!

Actually I am a bit disappointed. I would have loved to see on the menu more local ingredients and creativity, than salmon from the faroe islands and mussels from canada (just to quote a few). We came for luch. Hopefully for dinner is much better..

Celebrating my birthday always involves dinner at a special restaurant. This year I chose Simon Pearce in Quechee, Vermont. The perfect table overlooking the Connecticut River. The service was perfect and the food outstanding from the Vermont cheese plate to the crab cakes. A new martini was added to my favorites: grapefruit honey. Another successful birthday !
