Enjoy fine dining while overlooking the Brandywine River in historic West Chester, PA. After dinner watch the glassblowers first hand as they create original designs in the glassblowing workshop. End your visit with a browse through the retail store.

Simon Pearce on the Brandywine is more than a spot for fine dining, it's a destination in itself. Visitors not only have the opportunity to enjoy superb American cuisine with Irish accents, they can learn about the art of glassblowing in an on-site workshop and browse for original glass and pottery in a retail store.

"....Simon Pearce on the Brandywine pays homage to the founder's Irish ancestry. Consider the rustic Ballymaloe brown bread, made from imported coarse wheat and molasses, and the Irish scones. The recipes come from Ballymaloe House, an inn and restaurant in Shangarry (Ireland). Vermont also factors into the menu, Vermont cheddar soup is a smooth blend of Cabot sharp cheese, chicken broth and cream studded with onion, carrot and celery. Cod, a New England staple, is encased in a horseradish crust. While the West Chester restaurant acknowledges the company's roots, it also showcases Mid-Atlantic favorites such as bronzed crab cake in a mustard cream. Signature dishes are staples, although the menu changes five times a year. Desserts, made onsite, include five homeade ice creams and four sorbets.....Lunch and shopping can absorb an afternoon. Customers don't seem to mind. "Well, this has been a treat," one woman says at the shop enterance. It wasn't over yet. "Oh, look," she exclaims, her eye lighting on another display. "There's more." Offering more is a Simon Pearce specialty. "We provide a long-lasting memory."

HOT GLASS, SIMON PEARCE'S SIGNATURE POTTERY AND GLASSWARE by Pam George

Located on the site of the former Lenape Inn in West Chester, this unique addition to the Delaware Valley restaurant scene was inspired by its successful sister facility in Quechee Vermont. Expansive windows and two levels of seating afford every table a beautiful view of the Brandywine River.
A comfortable bar offers a special mid-afternoon menu daily. Cream-colored walls with rich wood accents and a Danish parquet floor complete the crisp, contemporary decor.
The restaurant is available for private parties, company gatherings and special events. Please call the manager for details at 610-793-0948.
