“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Crystal Springs Resort, and a big part of that was thanks to Miss Barbie. She was an outstanding waitress with an amazing personality, a warm smile, and exceptional customer service skills. From the moment we were seated, she was attentive, professional, and made sure every detail was taken care of.

What impressed me most was how attentive she was not only to me, but also to my family and the children in our group. She made everyone feel comfortable, welcomed, and well cared for throughout our visit. Her patience, kindness, and genuine concern for our needs did not go unnoticed.

Miss Barbie had everything on point—from checking on our table regularly to making sure our food, drinks, and overall dining experience were enjoyable and stress-free. Her positive attitude and friendly demeanor truly stood out and made our visit even more special.

Crystal Springs Resort is fortunate to have someone like Miss Barbie on their team. She definitely deserves a 5-star rating and has become my favorite waitress. I look forward to returning and hope to be served by her again. Thank you, Miss Barbie, for making our visit so memorable!

Highly recommended!“

“Last night, for my birthday, we had what I have to call a perfect, and perfectly delicious meal. You can’t take a picture of an experience, but if there were a way, we would have tried. My fettuccine Bolognese was a detailed joy, yielding a world of varied delights in every bite. Even the radicchio and endive salad… one of those textured, flavorful events where you close your eyes and savor every each mouthful. I could go on and on… but I’m still busy savoring. Gorgeous setting, roomy comfort, delightful servers and employees… and the bank does not break. You’d pay 100 or 150% more in the city to even come close.“

“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!“

“Fantastic service, great food, fun atmosphere- highly recommend“

“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,“

“I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. The food served here is fresh and expertly prepared. The amount of thought and care that goes into every dish is obvious. It is also very fun to read their menu off the chalk board. One of the appetizers we got was an asparagus corndog, it was so unique and delicious. I came here to celebrate my bday, and I could not have dreamed of a better meal! Thank you GRANGE for everything you do!“

“Great place to eat, drink, play pool and listen to relaxing music.“

“Last night we did the 7-course chef’s tasting menu with wine pairing at Restaurant Latour at Crystal Springs Resort. In my opinion, this is easily one of the best restaurants in Sussex County.

The wine pairings were very well done and thoughtfully matched to each course. You could tell a lot of effort went into balancing the flavors and overall experience. Some dishes were outstanding and really memorable, while others were good but did not have the same wow factor.

You can definitely see that the restaurant is striving for a Michelin-level dining experience. The presentation, creativity, and overall atmosphere are there, although there are still some areas that could be elevated further.

The setting was beautiful, especially watching the sunset during dinner. Pricing was about what you would expect for this type of experience.

The biggest thing holding the evening back was service staffing. The staff was polite and professional, but the dining room felt understaffed at times, which created gaps in service that took away from the overall flow of the evening.

Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a high-end dining experience in Sussex County.“

“We went to Beer Pockets BBQ for lunch this Saturday and the food was out of this world! Donielle and John made the best suggestions! We can’t wait to come back! Thank you!“

“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!“

“Finally made it to the new location today with hubby. We sat at the bar and spoke with John. I have to say what a beautiful place John has built here. Beers were cold and the burger was delicious. Spacious indoors and beautiful wrap around porch with seating. Definitely will be visiting again. Oh and plenty of parking. 🍻👏🍔“

“Love this place the food the service the atmosphere!“
