Crystal Tavern

Crystal Tavern is one of the signature restaurants within the Crystal Springs resort. It's one of the easiest way to dine on property as a resort guest, but also open to the general public. As a larger party, we were able to order quite a few things from the menu, and all of it landed somewhere in the range of decent to excellent. Those who ordered the chicken were underwhelmed, but the hanger steak was delicious. I love a good char on my steak, and I loved the smoky crust they achieved on mine. Some of the appetizers skewed toward the smaller side, but they were well prepared. Our whole table loved the shishito pepper appetizer, which was served tempura-style with a lovely orange sauce. God knows what was in it, but I was dragging pieces of pepper through it repeatedly. As a large party

We had a wonderful dining experience! I ordered the filet mignon, and it was absolutely perfect—tender, juicy, and cooked exactly the way I like it. The seasoning was excellent and really brought out the flavor of the steak. Truly one of the best filets I’ve had. My kids ordered burgers and fries, and they loved them! The portions were generous, the burgers were fresh and flavorful, and the fries were crispy and delicious. Even the pickle on the side was a nice touch. The atmosphere was warm and inviting with candlelight on the tables, and the service was friendly and attentive. Overall, a fantastic meal for both adults and kids—we’ll definitely be back!

We had an amazing anniversary dinner! I think reservations are pretty much a must if you wanted to go there for dinner. Our waitress was very nice. Nice view of the mountains from the windows. The Vietnamese style oysters were very unique in flavor. We got ribs from the appetizer section and they were fall off the bone tender with amazing flavor. The halibut had a nice seared crust on it and it tasted so good with the clam broth. Would definitely go again for a special occasion!

This was a go to spot while we were staying at the grand cascade lodge. The food was consistently good and we came almost every day of our stay

This is a little hideaway. It is a must visit you can get away and you feel like you’re in another part of the world. The atmosphere is relaxing. The food is amazing. Ken will make you feel as if you are in his house and the cook is cooking just for you. Rachel, who was my server is totally sweet and attentive. I can’t wait to go back.
