    Vanilla and granola
    Edwin S.

    Scenery, scenery and scenery. Oh, did I mention scenery? What the restaurant lacks in compelling flavour is made up for by its ambience and quality of service. Food: 3.5/5 Ambience: 5/5 Service: 5/5 We started off with hummus and pita, then had the black bass and brisket as entrees and topped it off with a vanilla ice cream dessert at the end. 1. The pita and hummus were relatively standard and a good starting choice. 2. Black bass is a filet as can be seen in the photos and was grilled while slightly seasoned 3. The brisket was the highlight of the meal. This is a definite must have if you decide to come here. 4. The dessert, vanilla ice cream with granola was just too sweet. Overbearing almost. All in all, the brisket was the best thing here and to top it off, the waitress we had was just lovely and attentive. The restaurant is just cute and lovely by design, of the restaurants here, this is a definite highlight of our trip. Pro tip: Given the price point of many of the restaurants in Crystal Springs resort, I would highly encourage the purchase of the food credit, it is $150 for $200 of credit. The food credit can be used here and at any of the restaurants or cafes in the resort vicinity.

    We live nearby and have never heard of this restaurant. Pleasantly surprised. The small plate oysters were excellent as were the roasted vegetables. My wife and I shared the Fire Roasted Seafood and both loved it. We topped it off with the berry crisp. It was delicious and so big that the two of us couldn't finish it. We had a 6:00 reservation and quite a few people came in to eat but the earliest seating they had was 9:30. The place is pretty small. The menu is limited but it's pretty good. We'll definitely eat here again. FYI, your utensils are in the dried beans. I didn't realize it and had to ask.

    I really appreciated Antonia finding my group a comfortable table in the shade. The view of the garden and mountains were beautiful. Emily our server gave us good suggestions on the food and drink along with generously caring for our needs. The Camembert with Thyme and honey was delicious!

    Amazing scenery and dining experience! I would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're staying in the area. The location is gorgeous, you sit amidst the flourishing garden that is supplying the fresh food. The kitchen is open and you can see them preparing the fresh food. The food was flavorful and combined unique and delicious flavors. The only down side for me would be the bar. The drink menu was nice but the drinks themselves were extremely sweet and lacked dimension, just tasted like sugar syrup. The service was great, they didn't rush you out and our waitress was very kind. The price seemed reasonable for the experience!

    Double cheeseburger!

    Its like being on vacation. The great outdoor breeze and tropical feel. The food was amazing. Fresh picked from their garden. We had the charcoal bun double burger. Fantastic. The bun is dark purplish color complements nicely with the cheese and bbq sauce. We also had the fish taco. Good portion of fish and nicely done with the cilantro sauce. Great deco and more importantly great food.

    Roasted Carrots were phenomenal

    Dining at Chef's Garden was such a great experience. The ambiance is fantastic and we had a very attentive server who was also patient with our kids. We loved our cocktails and our meals were delicious. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone staying in the area.

    The property the restaurant is on is absolutely beautiful. The ambiance gets 5 stars. You walk through the garden where the ingredients are chosen for the menu. The restaurant is open air and they utilize a big beautiful outdoor kitchen. We started with a few cocktails and the whisky peach drink was delicious. We shared a few of the appetizers and the eggplant app was our favorite. The food was just okay I don't think any of us would ever order what we had again. We were all very envious of the table next to us when we saw their burgers. Beautiful place but stick to something basic like a burger.

    Butcher's Grill is always such a tasty surprise! Second time here and it never lets me down!!!The…read morefood was absolutely delicious and came out super quick. If you don't want your entrées coming out with the appetizers, just give them a heads up, because the kitchen moves fast here. We started with the mushroom dish and a hearty soup...both full of flavor and the perfect start to the meal. Then came the star of the night: the lamb chops. Perfectly seasoned, cooked just right, and melt-in-your-mouth good. Everything we tried was fresh and satisfying, the kind of food that makes you want to go back the next day. The service was on point- Friendly and attentive, and the whole space has this quirky, cozy feel, like you're sitting in your grandma's living room with its mix of chairs and warm, homey vibe. It's also BYOB, which is always a win. We brought a bottle of wine that paired perfectly with the meal. Overall, Butcher's Grill is a must-visit if you're in the area. Great food, quick service, and a cozy atmosphere that makes it stand out. Can't wait to come back!

    Overall cute whole in the wall butcher shop restaurant. They were very nice but the food was okay…read more Husband for the rib eye and he said it was great. Everything else (chicken, salmon, burger) was overcooked. I would stick to the steaks. Seems like their speciality. The food presentation was great tho! And seems like locals love it. We came for an early dinner so they were able to accommodate us but it was busy by the time we left.

We ordered a salad, made them aware of a nut allergy and despite that, the salad came out with nuts. We sent the salad back to be remade (waitress did not seem concerned) and it came back without the chicken we ordered. For dinner, 3 of us ordered steaks. Each steak was undercooked/cold. I would not recommend this place at all.

As soon as we sat down, the staff brought over warm bread with a cheesy crust on top, simple but really good, and a nice way to settle in. I started with an Old Fashioned mocktail, which I have to admit just didn't work. After a couple of sips, I gave up on it. I stuck with the mocktail because I was taking medication for a cold, but honestly, I found myself wishing I had just ordered the real version. Once the French onion soup came out, things turned around quickly. It was exactly what I needed, rich, hot, and comforting in all the right ways. Our waiter checked in just enough without hovering, and the rest of the staff was just as attentive. It felt welcoming, whether people were staying at the resort or just coming in for dinner, which added to the relaxed atmosphere. For my main dish, I went with the burger cooked medium-rare, and it hit the mark. Juicy, full of flavor, and paired with crisp fries that were actually seasoned well. Between the quality of the food and the friendly service, the Crystal Tavern left a good impression. I'd definitely go back and try more of the menu next time.
