Simon Pearce is a refined American restaurant located in a restored 19th-century mill, offering picturesque views of a waterfall. The restaurant's open-air patio provides an ideal setting for dining during warmer months. In addition to its delectable dishes made from local ingredients, the restaurant offers breathtaking views of the Ottauquechee Falls. Visitors can also enjoy the adjacent Simon Pearce glass blowing studio and take in the stunning sights of Quechee Falls and the Ottauquechee River.
A beautiful setting on the river, this gallery is superb. Simon’s works are stunning. We own many beautiful pieces. Also, the restaurant in the gallery is just excellent. And, if you love cheese soup look no further. It has the most delicious Vermont cheddar cheese soup on earth, and that’s not hyperbole. If you’re in the area you must stop in.

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.

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!

Beautiful views, friendly staff, fantastic food! We reserved for 8 for a birthday party, food came out quickly, was done well, and so good!. Lovely restaurant in the Simon Pierce Glassworks. Great glass blowing demonstration downstairs. Halibut was fabulous, cod was delicious, muscles were done perfectly, lamb was done perfectly. Everyone enjoyed the meal.

What an amazing meal in a fabulous establishment. We had the quiche and Halibut. Both were uniquely flavored and presented with perfection. Best meal we've had in Vermont or New Hampshire in our 12 day visit. Quiche was like a combination of chicken Pot pie and standard quiche. Amazing flavor. Our server, Taylee, was super friendly, attentive, and professional. Don't even think about coming without reservations. We read that in the reviews and made a reservation before arriving. Several angry folks were getting turned away. You just need to do your homework. Masks are still a requirement at this restaurant which in my mind is a little draconian, but I guess we ain't in Texas anymore.

The restaurant had a warm homey feeling too it (although it still felt fancy), with a great view of the damn! Enjoyed the different kinds of bread and butter that came with the dinning experience. The drink we got was nothing to brag about. We got the pan roasted salmon and Shepard's pie which were both unique all on there own. Everything worked well together in the food, although there were some interesting g combinations.

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.

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.
Sarah Summey — Google review
Sorry I can't comment about the restaurant because we went to this Simon Pearce location just to watch the glass blowers. What an amazing experience. The showroom is on the main level and the quality of craftsmanship was incredible. Honestly, these pictures don't do it justice. The glassblowing area is just down the stairs. You are literally 10 feet away from the action. What amazing skill these artists have. We were able to chat with them and they were more than willing to share their knowledge about their craft. Highly recommend going to watch these artisans at work!

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.
Sai Prashanth Sesani — Google review
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.

Great service. Glassblowing factory below and sales room in combination with a fantastic restaurant. I will eat here every time that I'm close ! Quiche was nice. Sesame chicken has been on the menu since opening.

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.

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!

My husband and I were absolutely delighted that we got to go here while we were on vacation. The hostess was very gracious and allowed us to come at 5:30 PM, sitting us by the beautiful window that had the Watermill next to it. We absolutely loved the ambiance of the restaurant and would give that a five (5). We, however, were not thrilled with the taste of our food and that was disappointing to us. My husband got the Pork Porterhouse and said it was dry and would give it a three (3). I ordered the Wagyu Beef and was looking for a savory meal, however, I did not enjoy the sauce they put on it at all. I shared some with my husband and he said for this particular type of meat It was not as tender as he expected it to be. We each ordered soup, him getting the squash/pumpkin soup in which he would give it a five and I ordered the cheese soup, however, it did not taste that fabulous to me. The waitress found out that it was my birthday and surprised us with some blackberry lime sorbet, which we thought was very ... kind and thoughtful.

Turkish restaurant
Tucker House is an industrial coffeehouse that serves Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine, offering specialty coffees as well. While passing through town, I came across Tucker House and decided to try their Turkish food. To my delight, the experience surpassed any expectations I may have had. The delicious food and excellent service impressed me greatly. Zoey, a knowledgeable and engaging staff member, provided exceptional recommendations. The entire team at Tucker House was incredibly friendly as well. I highly recommend this restaurant to others.
The food here is very good. The dishes are flavorful and not too spicy. You simply must get dessert here. A touch of sweetness in every bite. Everything is authentic and made in house. Great for an evening out and a unique meal.
Michelle Hamilton — Google review
A rare places to find in the northeast. I’ve gone there for breakfast and their food is great. I wish they had authentic bread, as a Middle Easterner, i appreciate their food but the country toast really kills the vibe of their food and the authenticity. They import so many things I wish they would also get Turkish bread instead of toast.

Found Tucker House on our way thru town. Decided to try their Turkish food. It exceeded any expectations we may have had. Great food and great service. Zoey was super knowledgeable, very engaging and made awesome recommendations. We truly enjoyed and the entire staff was extremely nice. Highly recommend. We had the mixed mezze spreads, beef tenderloin kebab, olives and a lamb stew casserole in a clay pot. Along a nice Turkish rosé wine. Polished everything off with the almond pudding. Yes we ate a lot but so worth it!

Ticker box sold me a wonderful lunch! I am very glad I ate there yesterday. I started w the red lentil soup, which was divine. Rich, tasty, and amply served. I’d go back just for the soup. The little piece of toast seemed like an afterthought. Some grilled pita strip(s) might have been more fun. Still, it could have w no accompaniment and I would have still been thrilled. The gyro was equally delightful. Be warned, it comes wrapped in translucent parchment paper. I almost bit into it… I bet they have security cameras for just such a customer. Great to play back at holiday parties, ha, ha! The tzatziki was a little runny. Made a small mess while I was eating, but hey, that’s on me. Everything inside the wrap seemed fresh. Tasted delicious. I sat at the bar. Not my favorite spot. But, I was alone, and the place did fill up. At one point I heard someone 86ing all takeout. Curious. But I get it is for the safety of the servers. Don’t want angry customers at tables. The iced tea was delicious. Can’t wait to come back!

Incredible gem at the border of VT and NH. Every dish is impeccable and so tasty - leaves you wanting more. Highly recommend the eggplant - wow. The layers of tastes in that dish is nothing I’ve encountered before.

I may have only came to this little town for a job, and my stay may be short, but goodness is this place perfect for a sweet treat of a Breakfast. You may judge for yourself through the photos below but the atmosphere is a perfect balance of a soothing mild noise of the patrons and clanking of dishes at the bar. Mix that with the dimmed lighting and beautiful decor and you have yourself a calming transportation away from the outside world. When I come back, this is where I will go.

Had an amazing lunch! From the traditional Turkish coffee to them making their own spice blends for seasonings. Do be aware they close from 3pm to 5pm to get ready for dinner, but it's worth it. If you love traditional homemade Turkish food, this is a must stop!!

Simply divine!!! This restaurant and the spice store, which right across the street is our favorite. We live two hours away and go in very time we’re close. I’ve never had problems getting in but I recommend doing reservations. During some dinner times, it be great to know you don’t have to wait long. When I tell you it’s good, well others know this too lol

We got vegetable guvec, zucchini fritters, falafel, crispy phyllo cheese rolls, small mezze platter and it was all delicious. We got our meal as a carry out. The food was warm when we picked it up. Portion sizes could’ve been a little bit larger but the seasoning was just about perfect. Maybe the sizes just seemed small since we spent all day skiing. The packaging was pretty sustainable.
Richard Trierweiler — Google review
Turkish Tapas? Had take out from this place whilst on vacation in the area and what a ripoff! If you read other reviews you’ll see a theme, small portions. We had the mixed grill kebab, which the menu states contains “generous portions”, I can only assume generous means something else in Turkish. I’m fine with average sized portions, especially if the quality is high, but the food here is mediocre and the portions are just plain mean. Only come here if you are fine with small portions of mediocre food. I would recommend you avoid a place that can’t even give you a full portion of plain rice, RICE!!

I recently dined at this Turkish-American restaurant, and it was a delightful experience. I opted for the Beyti Kabab, and it exceeded my expectations. The dish was bursting with flavor, and the side of expertly prepared rice complemented it perfectly. What stood out was the excellent value for the price - a true bang for your buck. If you're in the mood for a flavorful and reasonably priced meal, this place is a great choice.

I have been here a few times now, and I am obsessed with their food. They always provide delicious and flavorful meals that I wouldn't expect to find in a rural area.

Erika Dueñas — Google review
Ordered for to go 2 adana kabeb, fritters and falafel which were complete waste of money, portion and taste is not worth of money I paid $94 for this order. Please don't waste your money. REPLY TO THE OWNER : Everything is expensive, but restaurants increase the price and also reduce the quantity of the food, which is not justified. You can see the photos which I added and dine in pictures, which doesn't seem to be the same. Especially to go orders are not same as dine in. FYI, You see those fritters and kebab platters with no enough portion of rice or vegetables, adding quater of an onion 2 slice of tomato doesn't count and 4 square lettuce doesn't count to be a salad.

this was so good we went back again for breakfast the very next day. everything was delicious. a taste of turkey with most of wines from there and the rest from the local area. my mom had the first one (veggy filled eggplant) and I had a lamb stew with fresh lavash bread. hot and fresh and had a turkish rice pudding for dessert which was very tasty but not quite as fresh. definitely batched and then served cold. had lots of nice decorations (colorful glass lanterns) and rugs. very popular spot

Everything about this place is just fantastic. Coming from city life and now living in rural VT, I was worried about not having food options that fit my very adventurous foodie spirit. Tuckerbox continuously is amazing. Their food is top notch, the flavors are great, and the staff are all very helpful and friendly. The spice shop next store is AMAZING and I always pick up their spice blends to take home. Grateful for tuckerbox.

American restaurant
Elixir is a contemporary eatery in a refurbished freight house that offers modern decor, serving American cuisine and handcrafted cocktails. This restaurant has garnered admiration for its delectable dishes at affordable prices, as well as its reasonable wine selection. The ambiance is both cozy and compliant with Covid regulations, making it an ideal choice for those concerned about safety. Elixir has gained a loyal following among locals who appreciate the warm and welcoming owner, Skip, and staff members like Lana.
The atmosphere was cozy yet elevated, and looks like a great date spot. The menu looks like it is ever changing but always has a great variety with many creative seafood menu items (mussels in a coconut-red curry sauce, Atlantic cod cakes, and seared Faroe island salmon). We ate at the bar and the service was perfect, and the drink was strong and tasty. I can’t believe it took me so long to come here for dinner OR drinks!

Food was amazing, had my birthday dinner here tonight. Unfortunately I was not the biggest fan of the bread pudding ( it had banana in it, and I'm more of a classic girl, so that's on me not them) Will definitely be back, but make sure you get a reservation! It's busy EVERY WEEKEND!

We were traveling from Tempe, AZ to our 2nd home in Windsor, VT for Christmas week. We were going to have a special dinner with a dear friend from the Hanover, NH area. She made this reservation for Friday night, the 22nd. Loved the restaurant atmosphere... really felt like I was somewhere special. Since I like to try craft beers made in the area that I am visiting, I ordered a Von Trapp Ale… it was quite good. The other 3 ordered wine & cocktails. Fresh baked bread & dipping oil was brought to the table for all to enjoy. Our guest had a starter salad… us other 3 had the ‘special’ Cream of Broccoli Soup. The soup tasted like it had been made by the gods! Fine dining indeed! Entrees were ordered (see photos) and words like incredible, phenomenal, superb were tossed around the table. All loved their main entrees.. but me. At the last minute I changed from a special pasta dish to the Pork Schnitzel w/ Red Pepper Spaetzle. Love German cuisine so I made the change. The Pork Cutlets were dry & over-cooked. Spaetzle was dry, hard, & crunchy. Turnip Mash & Greens were great. I’d like to think that if I went back and ordered the same dish over again the results would be different. Desserts (see photos) were mind blowing! My wife commented that she never felt rushed and we had a long and pleasant visit with our friend. Special Note: Leigh Whitten was our server… he was pleasant, helpful, and attentive without being invasive.

What a great spot in White River Junction! Delicious food and lovely ambiance. This is clearly the place to be on a Friday night but they had seating at the bar and we were able to sit even without a reservation. The food was seasonal and delicious - ordered the beef short ribs and the steak. Can’t wait to go back and try more!

Staff was really friendly. Food was great, and so were the drinks. We sat at the bar and enjoyed our dinner. We got there around 7pm and if you weren't at the bar, you probably would have needed reservations , as it was a full house (on a Friday). Only downside is, they were a little stingy with the bread (which was also delicious). Overall food was great, as was service and I'd definitely go back.

Delicious food and attentive service. We had the Duck Confit and Cauliflower Bisque to start - duck was tender, soup was creamy. Shrimp and Mussel Fra Diavolo pasta was perfect (from Lucy's in Boston's North End), Beef Short Rib was tender, and the Pork Madeira was excellent and complemented by a poached pear. We'll be back for sure. We came back and tried the Mahi-Mahi tacos: fantastic, especially the carrot and cilantro slaw topping. The bean and plantain rice was delicious, too.

I had the chicken thighs- simple ingredients elevated to deliciousness! So good! Our server was on point! I can’t wait to go back and try the Cod cakes. I just wished that the banana fosters bread pudding actually came with banana fosters sauce..

The restaurant has a lot of space with large dining area and a smaller room with several tables. We dined in the smaller room and found it much quieter and more private experience compared to the main area. We ordered duck confit bruschetta as an appetizer and cod cakes and short ribs as our mains. All dishes were really good! I was a little hesitant about ordering the cod cakes because it is deep fried. However, there was no sign of greasiness or overcooking in the dish. Juicy and tender - this is how i would describe them. The portions were large enough and we were too full to have a dessert. If you are planning to dine with kids, the kids menu is not listed on the website. However, the restaurant offers 3 kids options: pasta with butter, pasta with red sauce, and chicken tenders with french fries. My daughter had pasta and butter and said it was good.

After a long day of traveling all we wanted was dinner but there wasn’t a place in town that would accept us. Reservations totally maxed out. A lot of places are closed a few days a week and are seating at limited capacity. So if you plan on coming to NH or VT book reservations! This place took pity on us and sat us. It turned out to be the most incredible dinner! Excellent and friendly service from our server. We split the pear salad and the swordfish. They even split it on two plates for us which was nice. The swordfish was so unique and buttery soft. Loved both dishes. Also a good drink selection. Highly recommend this cozy joint!

Loved this little spot- the menu rotates weekly from what I understand. The artichoke fritters and garlic fries were phenomenal. I got the steak which was cooked to medium rare just as I wanted, with a gravy sauce and roasted vegetables. It was delicious. The mushroom edamame dish, however, was a disappointing considering it was $21. It was definitely good, but felt like more of a side dish than entree. Drinks were delicious- we got the cucumber grapefruit spritzer and key lime martini (I believe it was a martini- definitely was key lime) Service was quite busy and a little slow which we did not mind. The waitress was transparent about things being a little behind & kept apologizing which was appreciated. Definitely a must eat if you’re in town! Only reason I took off the one star was the veggie dish. Maybe stick with the meat and pasta!!

Such a lovely place, with good food, nice people and wonderful service. My husband and I did not have a reservation here, but they were so kind enough to still let us dine in. And the food was nice as well. We like that they were vegetarian options on the menu. Each of the sauce that came with the dishes were so good !

Incredible food and service! Everything came out quick and our server Angie was incredibly courteous, polite and friendly! I had the steak fajita chimichanga on special, while my parter had the steak tip special. Definitely save room for desert becuase the white chocolate maple cheesecake is Amazing! Also, not to mention, the cocktails are extremely affordable and very delicious.

We visited during their trivia night. Ate at the bar. Good drinks and friendly bartender. Establishment is run well. We ordered Rib dinner and roast beef melted sandwich. Rolo cheesecake for dessert. Good was typical for a bar. Decent bar and drinks were very good. Trivia was fun! Many locals. A fun atmosphere.

The food and service was very good and they let us sit out on their deck with our dog for lunch unfortunately the deck was closed when we returned the next day for Dinner. I would recommend calling first if you have your dog with you.

Absolutely wonderful. Inside was a bit too loud with the live entertainment but the patio was lovely. The whole table ordered the prime rib melts. Lots of meat and wonderful flavors. The drinks were good but the reason for four stars instead of 5. BEST brussel sprouts Ever!!! EVER!! Also enjoyed the maple caramel cheesecake. Just yummy.

Food quality is excellent. Beware, some dishes portions are healthy sized and others run a little small. Service can be a bit slow. We waited quite awhile to get any attention to get the check to pay the bill. Overall, I would recommend a visit.

Incredible food (I had their signature schnitzel with a side salad, mashed potatoes, accompanied by asparagus and carrots) and a nice Oktoberfest beer, all for under $40 including tip. Great food, coupled with prompt and courteous service make for a winning combination.

Good Beer Good drinks Family friendly Live music Not a huge menu but respectable. Staff has always been great and stable. The best part about this place is that they support live music. Family friendly. Make reservations for big parties as well as small ones to be guaranteed a spot. Outdoor covered seating in the warmer months. Clean bathrooms and dining room.
