Pretty hard to beat the views up here. It's hard to know what to expect from a ski resort restaurant, but I thought the food quality was very good. Ingredients were fresh and high quality. Would

This was an absolute shock! When I heard there was a restaurant at the top of the mountain, I did not expect it to be this nice! The whole staff was incredibly kind and very helpful. It's almost worth the ride up just to get to go to this gem. I would definitely recommend the chili and stew! These dishes were very hearty and warmed us up! I was also surprised by the prices, for being on top of the mountain, the food was actually very reasonably priced, and the portions were large.

Going to a sit down restaurant at a ski resort, one expects to pay a premium for the food. I would expect the quality of food to be better than cafeteria grade food as well. We ordered a burger and the meat was overcooked and clearly precooked as the meal arrived within minutes of placing the order. It was so bad, I couldn't make myself eat it so I sent it back. Unfortunately the new one was no better.

Crowded and smelly place. Very chaotic and no attention from the staff as they were flustered themselves.

We took our granddaughter up on the gondola. She was so excited and then so dissapointed. She is 12 and she did her reserch on what she wanted for lunch. A hamburger with the brand. When we asked for it they told us that that was only done during winter. My suggestion to you is that you specify that on your menu..Very dissapointing.

Well, if you are either okay with paying for lift ticket or you got a ticket deal or an IKON pass then you are definitely stoked!!Crystal is definitely the best of you in the state and totally worth the trip. Just reserve your parking and pay whatever it takes. Have all the fun!!!

The top of Crystal mountain that you can see a good view of Rainier mountain in good weather day. A little slippery when you walk from Gondola station to restaurant and really windy, be careful on top of mountain.

We had a great time.Parking: This is part of the ski resort. You have to take the gondola up to the restaurant. The parking for the experience is not well marked and when I was there, the parking lot was a sheet of ice. On the plus side, they did have a regular shuttle from the parking lot to the main area to help limit the walking.

Arrive at open and they'll seat you by the window, facing Rainier. Not many views compare. Great service by highly attentive servers—I'm sure the staff rotates though. Only thing I wish was a deeper beer selection. The burger was great but could definitely be improved.
