“wow great food pizza is amazing!! Went to the bar afterwards and had a chocolate martini!! The bartender Alyssa was best engaging and a great smile! Will definitely be back !!!“

“Love this place. It’s definitely one of the better restaurants/bars in the area. Not like some other restaurants in the area, that charge you a percentage to use your CC. Not only that one particular owner takes tip money away from waitresses because you used your CC. Could you imagine the owner taking tip money away, because a customer used a credit card. Sad for those other restaurants. This place is honest and friendly.“

“Best place in town. I love the staff and the food selections are amazing. The banquet hall upstairs is awesome. Huge room. Lost of space and reasonably priced. You also get your own private bartender. These people always go above and beyond for their guests.“

“Normally order regular pizza which is great but yesterday I ordered the Tuscany Chicken Pizza. It was amazing and the best pizza I’ve ever had! Try it- you won’t be disappointed“

“Absolutely best food around and the service from the bartenders to servers and of course to Mr. Shane… my wife loves there little neck clams … today we had there special of braised short ribs and the killer meatloaf … if you haven’t been there definitely you are missing out … Great drinks as well and super great service…“

“Great lunch, great staff, clean and friendly atmosphere“

“Nice bar restaurant at the end of a round. We were there on a Wednesday and it was empty. We order BBQ knowing that it was not going to be fresh as the grills were not going. That said the brisket and pulled port were still good. The sweet potato fries were good as well. Little crispy. We both should have order the bbq souce on the side. Too much on for our taste but we should have asked. Great bar with a large selection of whiskey and bourbon. Service was great too. I would go back. Like to see how it is when it’s fresh.“

“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!“

“This is the best food in Vernon served by the friendliest stuff at the best prices , t The Place is Amazing ,if you are new in the area or just visiting Vernon just stop by because there is no better place for breakfast lunch and dinner at the writing of this post. You don't have to trust me ( I traveled all in jersey and upstate NY for the last 6 years In a way I know as traveler and restaurant visitor) but don't take my word . Just go and see it for yourself ,"The feelings and the value is in the plates" as they say in the restaurant industry, You will be surprised, Be your own judge :)“

“Spurs are THE best chicken tenders…..my go too every time…..one of our favorite spots for good food, friendly staff…..did I mention the spurs?? And the burgers are great too!“

“Always good service and great food.“

“Amazing Food! Anytime I order everything is so good! The desserts are out of this world!“

“Haven't been there in years. Went back to try something new. Happily surprised. Went on Friday. Brought the whole family back on Sunday. The service is excellent and very personable. Met the owner. Very nice couple. You don't feel rushed. The food is very good. Large portions so be hungry when you go. Great value. I also enjoyed the music. I just missed the piano player because I had to leave but I'll be back.“

“Our October wedding at the Farm at Glenwood Mountain was everything we hoped it would be. The backdrop of the Appalachian Mountains was stunning. The farm to table experience that Chef Steve curated was impeccable. The floral arrangements designed by Candice were exquisite and precisely what we imagined for our wedding. The staff at the Farm was such a delight to work with, especially Erika. Their team handles every detail with passion, vision, and genuine care. From the moment we stepped onto the Farm, we knew this was a very special place. All of our guests were enchanted by the allure of the Farm, the kindness of the staff, and were particularly charmed by their livestock! We will definitely be back to visit our farm family!“

“Awesome pancakes this morning! We have eaten there for breakfast several times. Food is always fresh & delicious!“

“This was our first dining experience at Westtown Fare Restaurant. To say we were very impressed is an understatement. Charming atmosphere, friendly and attentive service, combined with an outstanding meal all contributed to a pleasant and satisfying dinner. We will be returning. A+++“

“Had dinner there last night. Service was great with special notice to out server Denise. Tipped her accordingly. Other staff removed used dishes in a timely manner. Meals arrived hot and portion size was perfect. This was our 4 visit to them and always had great dinning,“

“Drumell is hands down the BEST Applebee’s employee I’ve ever met. The guy was explaining the apps and drinks like he designed the menu himself. He knows his stuff so well that when I found out he’s only been here about two weeks, I couldn’t believe it. I would’ve guessed two years — maybe even twenty with how smooth and confident he is.

The energy he brings is contagious. He makes you want to order everything just because of how well he describes it. Honestly, he’s wasted not being a server. If Drumell was my server, I’d be throwing money at him left and right.

Applebee’s, if you’re listening: promote this man. Drumell is the kind of employee that makes people come back again and again. 🌟“

“it's just a fun place. waitress are friendly. love the bands. especially jack Romano.“

“This place is so charming and the food is incredible!!! We sat outside and enjoyed pancakes with berries and the special sweet potato bowl with spinach, mushrooms and pulled pork. They also have espresso drinks and my cappuccino was served with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a lovely touch. This is a wonderful spot for breakfast or lunch“

“Resturant Latour is a fine dining experience. If the Michelin guide ever recognizes restaurants in the state of New Jersey, Latour will receive Stars. Latour is located within the golf resort Crystal Springs. You do not have to stay at the resort to dine at Latour. You need to make a reservation and there is a formal dress code. The resturant itself is a smaller intimate space with maybe 12 tables. The entire western wall of the dining room is glass so you can see the sunset over the mountian while you eat dinner.

The menu is set at either a 3 or 7 course chef's tasting menu. We opted for 7. The food was excellent. Every dish outside of dessert featured a different protein and everything was portioned so that you could enjoy the entire meal. In addition to the 7 courses, the meal included an aperitif, a bread and butter selection, and housemade chocolates after dessert.

The service sets the standard for five star dining. There is an entire team of professionals serving you, not just a single person. (Seriously ten+ different people took care of our table.) Every course is delivered and explained. The table is cleared, cleaned and reset for every course. The (soon to be master) sommelier will answer any and all questions you have about wine.

We enjoyed our dinner experience and would recommend it. I think it is a great option for something like an anniversary.

There are some comments on cost. To not be suprised, set expectations to at least $600 for dinner for two with upward trajectory based on quality and quantity of wine consumption and generosity of gratuity.

As a bonus: You can sign up for a tour of the wine cellar and a wine tasting with the sommelier at the resort. You do not have to stay at the resort to do this. There is a fee for the wine tasting. We did both of these before dinner.

Note my picture descriptions are basic because I did not take a picture of the menu.“

“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!“

“Awesome food & great service!! ❤️“

“The food was great jade our server was great very attentive very knowledgeable. The environment was homie. People were great environment. Great the view of the mountains spectacular you couldn’t ask for anything more. Definitely going back to that place. I had 110% great time. Thank you guys.“

“I’m just your average working class person, and this spot blew me away. Breakfast was amazing (the French toast was unreal), and dinner didn’t disappoint either. The menu’s small, but every dish is top-notch. You can tell they care about what they make.“

“On October 23, 2023 we had a wonderful brunch at the George Inn the day after our son's wedding in the area for the guests. We had breakfast and lunch items on the buffet. Everything was fresh and delicious! Our hostess, Linda was fantastic. She made sure all or needs were met and the service was wonderful! Thank you George Inn and Linda for a great event!“

“Amazing experience at kink great food. The chicken and waffles are amazing.“

“Fabulous pizza. Will definitely return.“

“I love eating here...people are friendly, and inviting...“

“The food was great really really good the kitchen was a little messy but it's a restaurant what do you expect? The only thing I can complain about is the one employee Amanda I believe was her name from what the young man told me while the young man I believe he said his name was Devin and his mom's name was Linda. Why they were working as quickly and as efficiently as they could Doing a really good job. the one employee kept walking away and outside the building for long periods of time leaving the two of them to deal with everything. screaming and yelling outside the restaurant cursing up a storm extremely making me and my wife uncomfortable from what I was experiencing she barely did anything making time extremely slow and catching an attitude for no reason just because the young man was doing his job with the young man telling me that other people have complained about her too with nothing being done. Once again with all the work the young man and his mother did all By themselves I personally think they deserve a raise and that managers or supervisors need to talk to their employees and maybe think about rehiring“

“My family went for a Christmas Eve dinner the food was fantastic the service was wonderful I will be going back often“
