Restaurant Review

One of the top dining spots in northern New Jersey, Restaurant Latour, located in the Crystal Springs Resort, is a destination restaurant and a good choice for diners without budget restrictions looking to celebrate a special occasion.

With the arrival of new executive chef, Michael Weisshaupt in 2007, the food has improved a notch to place Restaurant Latour into the elite category of fine dining restaurants.

Prior to coming to Restaurant Latour, Chef Weisshaupt held a number of positions at some of the areas top restaurants including the Manhattan rooftop restaurant The View, The Bernards Inn, and The Terrace Lounge at the Manor.

Chef Weisshaupt uses the freshest ingredients from local family farms including produce, artisan cheeses and breads, meat and fish from the Hudson and Delaware Valleys, and organic rack of mountain lamb from their ranch in Colorado.

Chef Weisshaupt is a master at preparing creative dishes that complement the restaurants impressive collection of wines.

It is especially popular with wine aficionados. While there, ask for a personal tour of the cellar. It boasts of an impressive wine collection of over 4,200 labels and 72,000 bottles!

Be forewarned, the menu is very pricey!

What you get is a first rate dining experience that comes with "white glove" service, a posh decor and breathtaking views through a floor-to-ceiling picture window that looks west across the Kittatinnys to the Delaware Water Gap and Pennsylvania.

For that special ambiance, arrive for dinner in time to take in the sunset over the mountains. It's a plus for a romantic occasion.

In the warmer summer months, there is outdoor dining on the patio.

The "white glove" service is attentive. not annoying, deferential, and unhurried. Plan on spending three hours for a memorable dining experience.

The interior decor is elegant and is set in a small intimate space with cherry paneling and plush Oriental carpet, with a background of soft tasteful music.

They offer a 3-course prix fixe menu or the chef's 7-course wine-pairing menu.

When available, try the Sterling Silver® Pork Tenderloin or the Rack of Colorado Lamb
