Kim and Kristen took care of us and surprised us with mimosas on the house. Kristen served us with a smile and was very attentive.The gentleman who made our omelettes did a great job and customized it to our liking. The breakfast was a buffet style with an array of delicious options. It was a relaxed setting with amazing views! read more

Obsessed with Daniella and Kim and the legendary Barbie at Kite's! Food and service were great.

Food is wonderful! Couldn't have asked for a better breakfast buffet. I recommend the bacon and French toast

Came here for dinner and it was so great. We had a 8:30 reservation but were hungry at 7:30 and they took us in earlier. The service was 5 stars and set up is also super cute. I loved it. Food was delicious! Kevin the bartender was amazing! read more

Kites Restaurant - THE BREAKFAST BUFFET WAS TO DIE FOR! Sooo many options and everything was delicious - New American Near Me - Vernon, New Jersey

We had a lovely lunch- the food is tasty with generous portions, the views are beautiful and our server Barb gave great service!

Amazing service from Barbara. My only gripe: I wish there was salt and pepper on the tables already for my eggs, but that's the restaurant and not Barbara. The chill music in the background was nice as well. read more

Great experience. Barbie has the best energy. She was so kind and up beat from our first interaction.

Great service by Leia and the rest of the team! The food was amazing from the calamari and French onion soup appetizer's to the filet mignon entree. Very calm and romantic vibe, although there is a bar and people sitting at it they were too loud. Overall I'd rate this a 10 if yelp let me! read more

Ambiance and service was great thanks Barbie! Buffet eggs were cold but the inlet station was good.

food was good, omelette was great. And was a very nice waiter. The amazing thing is that requires me to write a complete essay in order to post this review. So I'm going to fill up the last 85 that I didn't need to use to explain a good experience by simply telling my phone that I find it attractive and you're one of the few things I allowed to come to the bathroom with me. read more

The service was excellent....Kim and Barb In particular were very accommodating, kind and attentive. I would come again just for them....The food was fresh and delicious and Barbs drinks were on point. Well done! read more

Jason's attitude and positivity as well as great conversation made our experience exceed expectations. The overall atmosphere of the restaurant definitely makes me want to come visit again. I would highly recommend a visit to this gem ! The margarita he made was excellent read more

Everything was delicious. Kimberly wore a pretty scarf & had a warm & hospitable personality that set the positive tone for the morning & Connor & the man at the omelette station were very friendly & went above & beyond to make sure everyone had water & coffee. read more

Melanie and Barbie were fantastic and made sure my daughters and I were accommodated, including gluten-free pancakes for my daughter. Excellent experience! read more

Barbara was fabulous with her service at our table. The food was great and the drinks were awesome. We had a very exciting lunch and would definitely come back. read more

Everything could be better. To begin with this is a resort restaurant that is outdated need some decorum sanitizing, and better menu. While the seating is ample, and gentlemen behind bar very pleasant it lacks a Je ne sais quoi. Wings and salad is basic, pizza is horrible. And everything comes out heated up. Which means the chef is lacking resort cuisine expertise. The bar is stacked but the menu does not match the liquor stack. There is no signature drink, happy house etc to attract the relaxed atmosphere that the resort wants to attract. This is not a cheap overnight place. Rooms are $400-$500 per night so you wouldn't expect to leave the resort for fine dining. read more

My waiter was phenomenal--Barbie was absolutely great. The service was phenomenal. Barbie did an outstanding job.

Sam was exceptional! She helped with a take out order and catered to our many allergies You though need a bigger restaurant to seat the many guest read more

great food, great ambiance, GREAT service (Kaya was delightful). just and overall happy breakfast experience.

We had reservations for 9pm but our massage ended a little earlier than expected so we came up around 8:30pm and the wait was very minimum, maybe 2 minutes, if that. The atmosphere was very pleasant. Our server, Dennis, was on top of his game. He recommended entrees and desserts. He even provided a free dessert for my boyfriend's birthday which was a really sweet treat we both enjoyed. Dinner entrees are what you would expect and well worth the price. I highly recommend coming here. We will definitely be back soon! read more

Sadly was probably one of the worst dinners we had. Cold. Cooked wrong. Stale rolls. Very disappointing since not many options here

Like most, we went here because we were staying here which is very convenient after a delightful day packed full of activities. The staff was delightful, everyone grated us warmly and our wait staff was so friendly and kind. Honestly what a great service experience. We had cowboy steak, salmon and kids chicken fingers. The steak was cooked perfectly medium and what a delight to have a cooked exactly how you want it, the first time. The additional dishes though just lacked life, flavor and inspiration. When you add the price and speak of value, this is where this experience goes south. The salmon was $30 cowboy steak $50. Salmon was just ehh ok nothing special, the red quinoa was literally devoid of any flavor. It's like they set out to give quinoa a bad name. The only saving grace was the beautiful steak. The cocktails were much of the same, sounds nice on paper didn't deliver in the glass. I had the the bourbon cider and sweater weather but both just lacked the touch of finesse, they lacked the depth and complexity of cocktails and just didn't live up to the $17 a pop price tag. I hate to say this but you'd probably have a better meal leaving the hotel and venturing around Vernon or Hamburg. I wish that passion of service matched the passion of food but it did not and really disappointed me. read more

We (teenage child and I) dined while staying at the resort. We're repeat guests and this was by far our best experience yet at Kites - mainly because of the service. Nat (Natalia), our server was a true gem. Very pleasant, friendly, and courteous. Always had a smile on, and checked in on us, to make sure we had everything we needed. It was a busy night, and not only did Nat stop by to let us know our food would be a few more minutes, but the manager herself also did the same. Great customer service. We were in no rush, so I made sure they knew we didn't mind at all. We enjoyed the fried calamari, the burger, the flat iron steak and a flourless chocolate cake. We found everything to be very good. No complaints. Ambience is always very cozy there; a great way to end the night . Will definitely keep coming back. read more

Kites Restaurant - This is Bob btw - New American Near Me - Vernon, New Jersey

Kites is the main restaurant of The Mineral side of Crystal Springs Resort. Your $30 breakfast credit would probably be spent here ($26 per person at the actual restaurant) and your take out and room service would probably come the kitchen here too. Kites acts as not only a sports bar but also a general dine in area with a lodge as a theme. It almost tries to solve for too much. Food: 4/5 Ambience: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 To start, the food served for dinner was cooked beautifully. The breakfast? As standard and normal as can be. We got the burger and salmon. The sirloin Burger was cooked to perfection, the fries were okay. The salmon was done just right as well. Would recommend either of the two! Service is a bit slow, so definitely be mindful here. When we came back for breakfast, there was no wow factor. Your main choices are between, eggs, some pastries, smoked salmon, sausage and bacon. All in all the food is overall on point, and the place does not deserve the Low rating others have thrown at it. You will notice that much of the ratings were pointed at particular instances where food perhaps wasn't delivered on time or another disgruntled complaint. I would say that you can't go wrong with them and if you are hungry and are around, don't hesitate to try! read more
