“Restaurant Latour is the kind of place that feels more like a special experience than just a dinner. Located inside Crystal Springs Resort, the setting alone makes the visit memorable. The views, the quiet atmosphere, and the elegant design create a relaxing environment that feels perfect for a celebration, anniversary, or a night when you simply want to enjoy something different.

What stands out most about Restaurant Latour is the attention to detail. The menu focuses on seasonal ingredients and creative modern American cuisine, where every dish is carefully prepared and presented. The tasting menu gives guests the chance to experience different flavors and techniques instead of having a typical restaurant meal. The presentation is beautiful, but the focus remains on taste and quality.

The wine program is another major highlight. With one of the most impressive wine collections in the region, the restaurant is a great choice for anyone who appreciates fine wine or wants to learn more through the recommendations of knowledgeable staff.

The service matches the level expected from a fine dining restaurant. The staff is professional, polite, and helpful when explaining the dishes or suggesting wine pairings. The atmosphere is calm and refined, making it a place where you can take your time and enjoy the full experience.

This is definitely a premium dining destination, so the price is higher than a regular restaurant, but the combination of food, atmosphere, service, and location makes it a memorable choice for a special occasion.

For first-time visitors, I would recommend making a reservation ahead of time, arriving a little early to enjoy the surroundings, and taking your time with the tasting experience. Restaurant Latour is not about a quick meal — it is about enjoying the complete dining journey.

“TLDR: Top tier brisket. Nearly as good as Texas brisket and certainly best I have had in New Jersey thus far. The hidden restaurant in the middle of a garden is so quaint and peaceful, I recommend going for lunch or a cozy dinner. View of the surrounding hills is also amazing.

Quality of Food: I had no complaints about the food. The garden salad was refreshing and did not lack in its flavor. The brisket was AMAZING. If you look at my other reviews, you will find I am originally from the south and have frequented a few BBQ places in New Jersey, all of which have fallen short of what I have come to find as quality BBQ. This. Did. Not. Disappoint. The brisket was slightly marbled and melted in your mouth. I can only imagine the quality of the Rib Steak if the brisket was top notch. The cornbread was the only thing I could say was standard taste and quality.

Quality of Service: It was neither over-the top nor mediocre service. Seemed like a decent amount of young adults were waiting on tables. We stopped in for a quick bite before heading to a festival, but we had no issues getting our order taken, food delivered and check processed quickly.

Environment & Ambiance: Can't be compared to the other locations at the resort. The garden by itself is adorable and makes you feel like you're in a storybook. Looking out towards the hills provides a feeling of awe. The outside ambiance and cute tables and chairs makes you feel like you're joining Alice at a tea party.

Pricing and Concerns: It's certainly not cheap if you are ordering their higher priced options. However, that being said, it is most definitely worth every penny. Not to mention you're at a resort, so what would you expect besides expensive dishes? For a party of two you can keep it under $$$. Add drinks or an extra person and you're going over. No other concerns to note.

Comment and Recommendation: Yes! I recommend! If I didn't already make it obvious - go for the brisket!“

“Went there for the first time last night for my Birthday! The place was decorated beautifully! AMAZING food, AMAZING drinks, AMAZING service. EVERYTHING was top notch, 5 Star start to Finish!“

“We celebrated a milestone birthday in the dining area next to the terrace with delicious food and great service. The bar had a large selection of beer, wine had a dozen options, plus mixed drinks. The staff let me taste a couple beers before I chose one to go with my calamari appetizer which was very large and well prepared. I do think the standout appetizer was the tuna which had an amazing citrus flavor. For my main I had the sea bass while most of the others had streaks. I thought it was delicious and the rice delicious. Maybe a tad too much butter for me, but no complaints. I skipped desert but the chocolate cake and apple tarts looked amazing. Service was top notch, my water glass was consistently filled and the staff present but not too much so. A great late afternoon dining experience.“

“Beautiful venue with a view, great staff and service, tasty food. Had a great time at a line dancing event there with Debbie and Beyond the Line, hope to be back soon!“

“Always good service and great food.“

“Had the most amazing experience several days ago being served by this young, beautiful, brunette waitress named Eva. She was constantly checking in on my table yet in a way that didn't make us feel overwhelmed, which plenty of restaurant folk do.“

“The chef is amazing and the staff is so friendly. We enjoy eating here often!! Love all the drink specials and desserts!!“
