Simon Pearce Restaurant –
Simon Pearce is a premier glass blowing and pottery business. The restaurant, located within the store, is also a premier establishment.
Whether having brunch, lunch, or dinner on the enclosed patio overlooking the waterfall, one gets the same level of excellence in food and service as Simon Pearce gives in glassware and pottery. The setting of this restaurant couldn’t be prettier, the service better, or the food more enjoyable.
Handicapped parking is available in a paved parking lot close to the ramp leading to the double door entrance.
The restaurant is on the main floor, along with the retail store. Even though it was a Sunday evening the shop was open to browse and buy.
We had a dinner reservation on a lovely summer evening and were hoping for a table by the window so that we could watch the spectacular waterfall just outside. We were told that window seating can’t be assured, and unfortunately, we didn’t get one. If you are willing to wait you can secure one of the coveted locations. We chose to take the table given to us and still enjoyed a wonderful meal with exceptional service. If you go for lunch on a summer day you may well see kids jumping into the icy waters from the rocks. Quite a show! If you come during the winter you can expect to find the falls covered with ice and possibly some ice flowing down the water. A spectacular sight of a different kind!
Access to the restaurant is easy, as is navigating to a table. The staff is extremely helpful in getting everyone settled.
Multi-stall, handicapped accessible restrooms with easy access can be found in the lobby. There are even benches in the lobby if you are waiting for a table or waiting for someone who is shopping.
The lower-level can be accessed by elevator. On this level one can watch the glass blowers in action or step outside for a close-up view of the falls.
As always, we at Destination Accessible, advise you to visit a venue’s website, www.simonpearce.com, when planning a visit, to “”know before you go.””
