The Bistro is now called Gino's 34. Totally renovated Totally new menu. Had dinner last night at the soft opening. We Had one of our best dinners. The osso bucco was amazing. Our friend's had pasta and could not stop raving about. We shared the meringue pizza/ lemon curd, weird but delicious. read more

Best restaurant in crystal springs. Very cute outdoor ambiance. Food was the best we had all weekend (which honestly isn't saying that much) but we appreciated it. They usually get booked out so definitely get a reservation for dinner if you're staying here. They were able to take us as walk ins for lunch on a Sunday. Love that you can see the garden that they pick from while you eat. Literally farm to table. read more

Springs Bistro - Yummy fresh bruschetta - Italian Near Me - Hamburg, New Jersey

It was easily one of the worst meals I've ever paid for. The Pork Milanese was an absolute disaster--charred black on the edges, dried out, and so tough it was nearly impossible to cut with a standard knife. Servers noticed me struggling but offered zero help, not even suggesting a steak knife. Service was minimally polite, but that's irrelevant when the main dish is this inedible. At these prices, this level of failure is unacceptable. I won't be back, and I can't recommend it to anyone. read more

Our server was attentive, we were placed in the back room, but was still a little loud. The squid ink dish was a little bland but the gnocchi was tasty! read more

We had a reservation and did not get seated until 30 minutes after our reservation. They said the table wouldn't get up and leave but I think that's their responsibility to make sure to seat a table close to their reservation time. When we did finally get seated we were told by the manager he was sorry and apologized they brought out some extra appetizers because of the inconvenience. The servers were nice, but it didn't seem like we got the best service. Almost 15-20 minutes went by with multiple people being out of water and finally having to flag down someone to point it out even though they had been to the table multiple times. We ordered drinks, appetizers and entrees at once since we were now running behind but we didn't get our entrees for over an hour after we ordered. The best dish - complementary bread with the veggie spread so delicious! Everything else for our party was just okay. People said the pizza crust was chewy, the meat they got was dry and my pasta was just okay. I wish they had given me a different type of pasta like penne or angel hair rather than this really thick one. We had another reservation after dinner and had hoped we would have a little bit of time in between but because of them being late and slow to bring out everything we barely made it on time and had to flag someone over for the check. Disappointed by the service, the food and lack of vegan options available. Not worth the price! read more

Springs Bistro - Chef made me pasta veggies with marinara sauce - Italian Near Me - Hamburg, New Jersey

The meal my family had tonight is why I don't let some bad reviews stop me from forming my own opinions of a restaurant. If I could give this place 6 stars I would. They started us out with some complimentary toasted sesame bread and two very tasty spreads. We ordered a LOT of food: roasted figs appetizer, frito misto appetizer, crispy brussel sprouts side, creamy polenta side, cast iron sliced bistecca entree, rigatoni entree, amatriciana agnolotti entree, chicken fingers and fries kid meal, buttermilk panna cotta dessert and chocolate torte dessert. My husband and I both ordered Arnold palmers, and my husband ordered a double espresso as well. Everything was delicious. Hands down, one of our best meals. Our waiter, Drew, was incredibly attentive. Our drinks were always filled without request, and he was quick to clear our dishes (of which we had plenty!) Their prices are listed on their online menu, so we knew what to expect when the bill came and were surprised it was just north of $200, given how much we ordered. We have 4 boxes of leftovers. Very happy we ignored the negative reviews, it was a wonderful meal and we will definitely be back! read more

Fantastic service - mediocre food. Our server was awesome. On point and with a table of 11 - he was always available. The food - blah and expensive! No apps, 9 entrees, 3 alcoholic beverages, 2 kids meals ($17 each) and 8 desserts = $575...with tip...which seemed really high! The food was just something BBQ'd and a small side. Meat wasn't tender and a lot of us were disappointed with our meals. Their cornbread was really good though. You're kind of stuck with their options since they consider this a "resort". I would opt for other spots in the resort before going back here... read more

Don't let the other reviews deceive you. This place is definitely worth a visit! It is located right next to the lobby of the hotel. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious! For appetizers, we ordered the roasted peppers, mozzarella, and the calamari. Everything came out great, and they were able to easily accommodate my wife's dietary restrictions. For the main course, I had the margarita pizza which was extremely tasty, while the wife had the Veal T-Bone. We had never had it before, but was nice and tender. Our server Lance was excellent and very knowledgeable! Definitely recommend! read more

Great date spot but very expensive Food is pretty good, maybe not amazing We had some cocktails, apps, dinner and dessert and close to $400 with tip so.... Definitely a special occasion only type place read more

I did not like anything! How can rum be horrible, I've never had a cocktail with rum that is horrible, I guess Spring Bistro said there's a first fir everything. The shellfish linguine, tasteless. The seafood don't taste fresh and the shrimp is way too small. Menu is limited, service is mmmmkay, but everything is priced at 5 star(ridiculous). read more

Their Fried Calamari was incredible: a light and crispy batter! I nibbled at their artisan bread; charcuterie board; bean salad; and, fig flatbread! While the rest of our party all enjoyed their corn risotto; lamb; and, rib eye - my salmon was overcooked - sad! As for the desserts: both the chocolate cake and the gelatos was a nice end to our meal! A beautiful setting outside on a busy Friday evening! Lucky to get a seating last minute! Beware of the slowness of orders to be taken, not enough hands for a busy night! Yet accommodating pleasant and courteous our server was to pace out our meal! CinCin! read more

Worst place ever.......was standing waiting by kitchen door for an order of fries for over 20 min watching one of the staff members eat when he barehanded grabbed fries and threw them in my (to go) tray when I realized it was my order immediately said something to the person that took my order at with point she tried to keep me quiet and said she would handle it .. afterwards when order Was being remade and the staff realized I was watching they closed the door in my face ...i then canceled my order and went to front desk of Grand Cascades (hotel where restaurant is).... Waited for the manager Al Burn (973 864-8924) for another 20 min then was told he was to busy to speak with me .... Maybe the board of health should step in would give 0 stars if possible!!! read more

This place is excellent!! The food is delicious and our server Troy was professional, knowledgeable and excellent! We were here last night and tonight too! Love it! read more

If I could, I'd give this place 4 and 1/2 stars... but I can't, so I rounded up. The service was great, the food was delicious and the environment was just fine given the circumstances. My only complaint is that they're currently (August 2020) offering a limited menu, which is not nearly as impressive as the full menu. My girlfriend and I were excited to order dishes that we saw online on the regular menu, only to find out that none of these were offered on the limited menu... What we ate was still delicious though. read more

Don't have high expectations. Just because you are staying at an expensive resort, the dining choices don't meet the exclusivity. Is it wrong to say that the bread, butter, and olive oli were the best part of the meal? Microwaved lasagna. Tasteless pizzettes. Overpriced. Wife did have the prosciutto chicken that was tasty. With limited choices at these two resorts, you are really screwed with where to eat. So you suck it up and deal with it or drive off the resort and go to town read more

We were visiting for a ladies weekend and decided to stay on property for dinner. Right from the start the hostess was lovely, and the staff continued to impress us. Our server, Lance, was so personable and kind. He answered any questions we had, was happy to make suggestions, alter meals, and joke with us! We were all very happy with our food from the appetizers to our mains. Everything we had was delicious- and the bread was AMAZING! We'll definitely be returning on our next ladies trip. read more

We were skeptical. The reviews aren't that great. But, we arrived to the Grand Cascades Lodge at approximately 8, famished. We had tried to get reservations at the other establishment on premises a week before but it was booked, so we decided to go with Springs Bistro. We ordered apps and cocktails. The cocktail was called "Sour grapes" or something, which somehow describes my entire dining experience, with a few exceptions. The cocktail was really good. Cheese plate - Ooh, how I love cheese. The blue cheese was my favorite, the honeycomb was amazing and the fresh raisins? was also very tasty. We scoff. Oh, people don't know what they're talking about. We are really enjoying ourselves. But then came the food. The cured tuna tasted like... I don't know. not like tuna. More like sardines? I don't know. It was way too salty, but I guess thats what 'curing" is. I can't say anything was bad per se, but it certainly wasn't a composed dish. cured tuna with chickpeas. say what? The gnocchi was ok. but that wasn't gnocchi. It was like mini potato pancakes. literally. Seriously. didn't taste bad, but it was not gnocchi. The fish dish - forgot which fish it was was way overcooked and the potatoes that accompanied it too salty. there was another dish that we liked, but ironically the good dish slipped my mind, so I guess it was that forgettable. I'm not sure it was good or in comparison to the others, it was the best. So, go for the cheese and alcohol. read more

We ate here last Wednesday night. The food was good as was the service. It was more of a home run than the place at the other end of the hotel which is a disaster. It is pricey, but the menu is pretty well thought out and the ingredients taste very fresh. Everyone enjoyed their meal and we left happy regardless of the cost, as it was our "fancy dinner" for the trip. read more

Basing the rating on the food and our waiter Tim, which were both excellent! However found our greeter, who actually did not greet us, to be rude and curt. If there was a way to just go seat yourself I am sure one who have a wholistic enjoyable meal. read more

Hard SKIP ! We stayed at Grand Cascades Resort at Crystal Springs. We arrived late and didn't want to travel off the resort for dinner so we got a table at Springs Bistro. The establishment itself is very nice & the staff is pleasant. The food on the other hand is mediocre at best. Super expensive prices and super small portions. My wife got the home made pasta dish that was the size of an appetizer portion, nearly tasteless and unappealing. I got the strip steak, asked for it medium it came well and like a hockey puck. Steak was tossed on the plate with a "side of mushrooms" which I think was a total of 2 mushrooms cut into a total of 6 pieces. Apps were fair and both needed salt. I would never come back to this particular restaurant, come hungry leave famished ! Don't waste your time or cash here ! read more

The food is good, but the service is horrible. I had Troy as my server and he talked about marijuana in front of my 15 year old daughter. He recommended we check out "Big Smoke", a local marijuana shop. He was also sweating profusely while standing over us and felt like a space heater. He smelt bad and honestly ruined my appetite. I wouldn't recommend eating here, especially not if you're dining with Troy! read more

Had a really great experience here. Margarita pizza was excellent, and so was the duck confit. The place is doing a great job of keeping people socially distanced and also still creating an ambiance. Our service was awesome and our waiter even lended us a wine opener for our room. Staff was friendly and overall happy to see patrons. It was a beautiful night for my wife and I who are celebrating this weekend after getting married during covid. read more

We had the best meal! It had great atmosphere, the waiter was superb and the food was amazing! We can't wait to go back next time we stay at the resort! read more

Dined here as part of a dear friend's birthday celebration. Our friend lives in a townhouse nearby and dines here often- hence the enhanced service. SP does offer a beautiful outdoor dining area with spectacular views but due to the excessive heat wave, we ate inside. The ambiance is casually elegant with service to match. Appetizers: Fried calamari, meatball, and a cold antipasto. All very good. Entrees: Sea bass Risotto Tagliatelle with shrimp and scallop SP is a good stop if you are up at Crystal Springs read more

Sat outside. Beautiful view. Great service from waiter. Sausage and fennel pizza was delicious. Al Capone drink was fantastic. Spaghetti and meatballs were okay. Only complaint: hostess saw us standing there and ignored us until we asked someone. read more

Authentic Northern Italian may be a stretch, but this restaurant attached to the Grand Cascades Lodge was really wonder. A strong but simply menu delivered by an informed and generous server was only topped by an excellent view and environment. We had a large party of all ages and everyone left satisfied. My orders were nearly perfect. he only misstep was the bland lump crab on top of a water cucumber gazpacho. The perfectly done giant meatballs were great, shatteringly crisp polenta fritters over pork Milanase was very well made, and the tiramisu to end the evening was good too. Recommended, highly, even if you aren't staying. read more

We had a a very nice dinner with great staff. Our waiter was Lance and he was truly amazing. He was very pleasant and made our night. It was a busy night but that didn't fluster him he made it seems easy. We were there for a 40th Birthday and it was one for the books! read more

We went to Springs Bistro while enjoying a girls weekend. Our server Lance was phenomenal. He was attentive, polite and honest. Every server that came to our table acted in the same manner. The food was fresh and delicious. The servings were quite large. We will definitely return to the restaurant on our next trip! read more

We waited too long to get reservations so we had to sit at a bar. Bartender was great. Food was really good, too. Good experience overall.

Just ate here last night with a party of 12 guests. We were seated right away and tended to quickly. Meatball and fresh mozzarella appetizers were great. I had the lasagna which was good, my husband had the crab spaghetti which he liked. Biscotti for dessert was very good, although cappuccino machine was broken. Pricey, however. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to give Springs Bistro a try for a change and are we happy we did!! The food, service and atmosphere were outstanding!!! We had the charcuterie plate which was delicious, the most incredible meatballs we've ever had in an amazing sauce, all their pasta dishes are freshly made which made it even more delicious. The view is spectacular! Especially if dining during sunset. You can dine inside or outside weather permitting. Last but not least our server was nothing short of perfection. I cannot recall her name but she told us she's been there awhile and the manager Gianni was such a nice man making sure we were happy and taken care of. All in all, I would highly recommend Springs Bistro. We cannot wait to go back!! read more

Service was inexperienced and just average - we waited about 15 minutes for our appetizers (which were very good - calamari and a burrata salad) and then three minutes later they brought out our dinners. The guy who brings the food out from the kitchen forgot the sauce for the calamari and no one came to check if things were ok. We had to flag someone down to get the sauce and then they asked if we really wanted it since we were halfway through the appetizer?!?! The pizza was undercooked and all the cheese and toppings slid off when you picked it up. The bucatini carbonara had no bacon in it - however it tasted like bacon fat had been used to make the sauce which was overly salty and fatty - a bit too emulsified and like glue. With such a limited menu, they should be able to make each dish perfectly. I would not return. read more

The service was quite disappointing. It seemed like we were bothering the waiter. Sad thing was observing the extra attention placed on other tables. The food was not what we were expecting at at all. Very unhappy. read more

The food here is really bad. The bruschetta appetizer was so hard to cut I asked for a steak knife and even then had trouble. It was chewy and was obviously reheated. Also only 1 of the 4 had marscapone on it. We mentioned that to the waiter and he didn't sound surprised. He also did nothing about it even though we sent back 2 of the 4 uneaten. The cauliflower fritter was cold and not crispy, the garganelli pasta was mushy and not seasoned and the linguini was decent although far from memorable. One of the worst meals I can remember. read more

Ate there this weekend and can honestly say was probably the worst place I've been to in my life - ordered the Tagatelle - zero taste - Fiancee had the Risotto - also horrid - food reminded me of the school lunches i used to have - my niece had chicken fingers and she liked it but hey shes 7! read more

I sat at the bar and got great service. I ordered the spring greens and the citrus honey dressing was amazing and the salad itself was terrific. The problem was with the Braised Sasso Chicken. I have NEVER met a chicken dish I didn't like, but this dish made NO sense. It was a braised thigh and a leg swimming in a half a bowl of soup WITH A GRILLED BREAST that was actually burnt from the grill floating in there too. There was toast, but the toast was IN THE HALF BOWL OF SOUP SO WHEN THE TOAST WAS PICKED UP, IT FELL APART EVERYWHERE! WORST CHICKEN DISH EVER! WHAT THE HECK WERE THEY THINKING? Afterwards...the coffee was fabulous. I think they sneak some cocoa in it... read more

Be aware that this Springs Bistro restaurant inside the Grand Cascades Lodge, has the worst tasting home-made wheat pasta. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs and they gave me wide wheat noodles, which ruined the taste of the good meatballs. My wife ordered a lobster pasta dish and they gave her a wheat pasta "wrap" which was tough and ruined her lobster dinner. I do not recommend this place for anyone who wants a decent meal. They are not open for lunch, thank goodness!! read more

Ate there this weekend for a girls weekend and the food was awful, none of us ate our meals - we all ordered a pasta dish and risotto, all tasteless and not good. For such an upscale and nice resort the food was subpar. The restaurant at the golf course was much better (Crystal Tavern) and the restaurant at Minerals (Kites) is way better. Plus people walk through the lobby to go outside?? Step it up Crystal Springs, no excuse for poor food with the prices we paid. read more

This place is really bad. Probably one of the worst restaurants I've ever eaten at. I would not waste your money going here. To start, the food was extremely over priced. We asked for plain pasta and sauce and it cost $30. Additionally, the food was nearly inedible. We ordered a seafood pasta which tasted like the ingredients had expired. Do not go here, spend your money somewhere else. read more
