Crafting an Elevated Experience for You
Crystal Springs Resort is recognized as New Jersey’s premier culinary destination, with an exceptional culinary team under the direction and leadership of Chief Operating Officer Robby Younes. The Resort uses natural, locally grown and sustainably raised ingredients whenever possible. In our commitment to the highest quality menus, all of our dishes are created fresh. Hard-working and dedicated artisans, farmers, ranchers, fishermen and beekeepers enhance our offerings, as well as the products procured from our own ranch and organic farm. Our NJ chefs are devoted to the farm-to-table approach, which provides a rewarding experience for farmers, chefs and diners alike.
