I don't even know where to begin on this one...

My wife and I were all geeked to have some amazing shepherd's pie here, and once we were seated, we realized that it wasn't on the menu, and things were almost way out of our price range. We asked the waitress, and she said that the pie was only on their lunch menu. However, the waitress went and talked to the cooks after we told her of our dilemma, how we were on vacation and came there specifically, and she came back and said the cooks would cook us up two pies.

The manager even came and talked to us for about five minutes, and we chatted about our trip, our home state of Michigan, etc., and she expressed to us that she was very happy they were able to accommodate us. Even though the price was a bit steep (mainly since we weren't expecting it), we recommend Simon Pearce and plan on going back if we are in the area. The service was great - friendly, down to earth - and the location is amazing. The whole idea behind the earth-friendly restaurant is great, and we hope that others will go here as well, and keep this wonderful place going. Oh, and the shepherd's pie was amazing, and really filled us up!

The cheese-enriched crust on this Shepherd's pie is especially delicious.

Meals begin with slices of Irish brown bread and square little rolls.

Lobster rolls are served the real New England way: in a buttered and grilled split bun.

It seems especially right to conclude a meal with Irish Coffee in this Irishman's retreat.

The caramel sauce adds an extra-special flavor to Simon Pearce's apple pie ... not to mention that fragile pastry crust.

All the glassware used on Simon Pearce tables is made by hand downstairs. Even a glass of water is lovely to look at.

Some of the hand-blown glass artwork added to the meal, as did the beautiful view we had from our private table.

That's the Simon Pearce dining room perched over the falls. The glass-blowing shop is down below.
