The service, food, wine pairings, and environment are impeccable. Why is this not a Michelin restaurant already?

Wonderful service and food! However, I had been contacted by the staff prior to our reservation regarding the dress code . We were fine with that but diners in sneakers and sweatshirts when you are paying $400 without tip is disturbing. read more

My husband & I have dined here at least 1x/ year for 15 years. Through various chefs, the quality of the food and wine pairings from their experienced/sophisticated sommelier are unparalleled. Occasionally, (as anywhere) you may have an item that is prepared in a way that someone may not like. But, when doing the tasting menu, (which is all I do) it is an epicurean experience. I am a foodie and cherish every meal at Latour. read more

Absolutely fantastic. Took around 3 plus hours for the 7 course chefs tasting menu. Also added on the wine pairing. The service as absolutely incredible and both the server and sommelier were so knowledgeable! My favorite dishes were the Waygu beef and sea trout. The dessert left a little bit to be desired as it was not nearly as good as the rest of the meal but nonetheless this is the perfect meal for a special occasion. read more

Be sure to check out the wine cellar tour. Then enjoy a nice wine at the bar with the beautiful view of the resort. read more

I found the elevator escort to be kind of pretentious and cheesy, especially since no one bothers to take you back downstairs at the end of the meal. Once you're done and paid, you're on your own buddy! Our servers seemed a little green but the food was excellent. It was a Thursday night so the dining room was empty but it is a warm intimate space. Sit by the window for beautiful golf course views. read more

Overall, we had a memorable experience at Latour. My boyfriend and I both chose the seven course tasting menu and I did the wine pairing. The ambience was perfectly intimate making for a wonderful date night. Our server was sweet and paid strict attention to detail. She even picked up on a mistake that the chef made in regards to a food allergy. The sommelier was wonderfully informative and the pairings very much suited the meals well. The food I can't give five stars for the price. The meal was over $500 which we absolutely don't mind if the food meets those expectations. It was tasty but it wasn't quite on that next level. Also, for the price there shouldn't have been a chef error that resulted in me starting to eat a dish and had it taken away when the server realized the mistake. That being said, it was still overall a great night with delicious wine, an excellent waitress and sommelier, the best company, and five star ambience. I certainly recommend Latour if you're staying at the resort and you're looking for a high end meal and to wow your date with ambience and presentation! read more

Wow!! This is a dining experience. White glove service, A+ for ambiance, and the food is delicious! This is the type of place that if you didn't normally like something, try it here because you will definitly enjoy it. It is pricey, but worth it. read more

Restaurant Latour - 1 acre underground wine cellar. $60m - New American Near Me - Hardyston, New Jersey

There's a feel of exclusivity when entering the restaurant. Mostly due to the fact that the maitre d was downstairs and had to send for someone to fetch the reserved party by coming down in an elevator. We waited downstairs for what seemed like an hour and finally the manager came down and led us upstairs into the dining area. The dining area is very intimate and only had a few tables. Presentation of each dish was beautiful. We ordered off the prix fix menu. I'm not sure if I'd return to the restaurant as there are a handful of other restaurants on the resort to try. But if you're going for a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary, it's a nice option to have. read more

Restaurant Latour is located inside a sort of Century Village, complete with golf course. There is no sign for this Wine Spectator rated restaurant if you approach from the west, so we drove right past it and kept going. There are only about twelve tables in the small space I had the Chef's Degustation. First I had the Maryland Soft Shell Crab with Papaya Pecan Beurre Noisette. The crab was delicately fried and crisp. The nut flavor gave the crab a great depth and the papaya the right amount of acid. Was lovely paired with the Pinot Blanc, Trimbach, Alcase, France, 2009. A Shallow Poached Bass was next. It was very tender with an earthy flavor that doesn't hit my pallet in an enjoyable way. It was not quite as good with the wine as the crab. I had the best scallop of my life after the Bass. The Maine Diver Scallop was seared to perfection and served with a Peanut Panada, Green Curry Drizzle. The Chardonnay-Pinot Noir, Haute Cabriere, Franschhoek Valley, South Africa, 2011 was not as great as it should have been. The Fossil Farm Roast Quail was roasted perfectly and balanced against a really delicious braised red cabbage. My problem with this dish was the Foie Gras "Burst," quotation marks are the restaurant's. You are warned before opening the deep-fried burst to watch for flying liquid. That's nice as I sat there in expensive clothing. I love foie Gras. What I don't enjoy is foie gras water all over my plate. The waiter gushed about how wonderful the burst was to me. Um. Not. Served with a Willamette Pinot Noir that was not the best which surprised me as I drink wines from this area often. The next two courses were the meat courses, both well done. The Rifle Ranch Lamb Tenderloin with Onion Soubise and Jus was flavorful and the Soubise delicious. The Kobe Strip Loin was very good but the sides of red quinoa and summer squash were bland. The Cabernet Sauvignon, Oriel, Maipo Valley, Chile, 2002, really brought the steak to life with the robust aggressive flavors. The cheese plate and Peaches and Cream ended the meal and for me were too much. They were pleasant enough. I had some very brilliant flavors in my mouth during this meal. Not everything was successful, but some moments were so memorable, it's hard to be cranky. read more

Excellent meal at Restaurant Latour. We did the 7 course tasting menu with wine pairings and were not disappointed. Every dish was thoughtful, beautiful and delicious. The staff are attentive and so nice. The space itself is gorgeous. The price is appropriate for the level of food and service you get here. If you are not looking to spend a relaxing evening, indulging in great food and wine then you should probably go to one of the other restaurants at Grand Cascades (the tavern is right downstairs). As with all things in life, you get what you pay for. read more

Enjoyed the Mother's Day package with my family. Great place for the whole family!! read more

My wife and I came to Crystal springs resort for a baby moon & decided to splurge on Latour one night for dinner. Usually fancy dinners are not my cup of tea but Latour is an exception. From the moment we arrived we were very well taken care of. The staff was very professional and knowledgeable of the menu. They made great suggestions and catered to my wife's pregnancy dietary needs. We had the 5 course without the wine pairing and it was worth every penny. Many complex flavors that didn't seem to work on paper were amazing to the pallet. Very generous portions were given and we were not disappointed by any course. Dessert was the icing on the cake and left us extremely satisfied. This place is worthy of a five star rating and is highly recommended read more

We did the 5 course meal with the wine pairing and it was absolutely incredible. Susanne (the wine director) was amazing, and truly made the experience. I honestly don't think the meal would have been as good without the pairing. It is definitely an expensive meal, so be prepared for that, but there is nothing else as nice anywhere near the hotel, so if you're celebrating something this is the place to do it! read more

Everything about the experience was great, except the food. Our server was amazing, the ambience was lovely, and my BF loved the wine he selected. However out of the 5 course menu, only two of the dishes were good (cheese and dessert). Steak was nowhere to be found on the menu. I love duck, but the breast was undercooked. undercooked poultry turns my stomach and I simply couldn't eat it (and this is not the kind of place you send your dish back to the kitchen). There were overpowering flavors in every dish that made them hard to enjoy. Both my BF and I were hungry again an hour after leaving. For $300 i expected more. read more

I don't recommend this place one bit. Food was way overpriced and each course was too salty. We did the wine paring but iy wasnt worth it; the wines weren't that good. We went here a year or so ago, it was under a different chef and was excellent. Def worth the $250 or so for a couple. However, it was a different story this time. The service was impeccable though, Sam was his name. There's a new chef starting next month so hopefully it gets back on track to how it once was... I'd recommend sticking to the Bistro or Tavern for now.. read more

My wife and I visited Restaurant Latour for New Year's Eve (which is also our Anniversary), so we were fully committed to spending the unusually high amount on this dinner. However, we were extremely disappointed in the food. Service was good, although not nearly at the level this price point should dictate, and the ambiance was really just ok (drop ceilings, very worn carpeting, and a nighttime view that was just a bad reflection of the room behind us). Now we've been to Michelin rated restaurants in San Francisco, Paris and Vienna, so we have a little idea what level of food and service should come with a dinner that ran us at just under $800 for two people (we did the 8-course tasting with wine parings). To their credit, the glasses of wine were 8 full glasses, although who typically wants that when one person (me) had to drive the winding roads home after? For the food: 1st course was crab in avocado with caviar and honey, very creative starter which was tasty and paired well with the chardonnay (that tasted more like a sauv blanc, a very unique wine). Great start right? Wrong. The next 3 courses were nearly inedible. The Chinese artichoke tasted bitter and burnt, the fennel on top of fennel mixed with fennel was as tasty as eating a corn stalk, and the scallop was slightly undercooked and WAY over seasoned (so much so that I started coughing when I tried to eat the scallop with the heap of spices that covered it). The turbo was very good, although not super interesting, and the main was a 2" x 2" cube of chicken. Yep, chicken. I love chicken, who doesn't, and this chicken was very good, but you don't spend $800 and get a tasting menu to eat what every person in America can make at least pretty well. The cheese was much more interesting, but so over seasoned with orange zest that it was like eating on top of a bucket of Orange Lysol. The scoop of chocolate gelato was rich and creamy, but the dehydrated chocolate on top of it was like the 'chocolate space food' I would eat when I was a boy. Overall, we were very disappointed in the food and would certainly not recommend this place to anyone. If you want a great dining experience, try Ninety Acres in central NJ, or Silvio Nickol if you happen to be in Vienna. read more

"An unforgettable experience." My girlfriend and I stayed at Minerals Resort & Spa one weekend to celebrate my birthday. Reservations for Latour were made one week prior and on Saturday night we took a resort shuttle over to the Grand Cascades resort were the restaurant is located. Upon arrival and after tipping the very friendly driver, we ventured inside one of the resort's main lobbies. It was busy inside with a wedding celebration and you could here the muffled sounds of Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory" coming from a nearby banquet room. As we walked deeper into the building, past an elegant staircase that led to a number of conference rooms and the resort's famed and voluminous wine cellars, we found Latour. The host greeted us and asked us to wait inside the resort's tavern and bar. About ten minutes later, the host found us and a hostess led us into a private elevator, walked us down a hallway and through a stately set of double doors, bringing us into a small dining room with fourteen tables. We had our choice of two tables, and chose one in a small, raised alcove on the far left of the room, much more private than any of the others. Upon sitting down, a member of the extremely professional white-gloved wait staff opened our cloth napkins and placed them on our laps. Shortly after we were asked our preference of red or white wines. We said "red" and were subsequently presented with the longest wine list we had ever seen, to the point where "list" does not do it justice, it was a text book, the bible of wines. With 240 pages of just reds, the sommelier was light hearted and gracious enough to point out the difficulty of perusing the entire list in her message on page one, followed by her personal recommendations. I ordered a Super-Tuscan and my girlfriend ordered a glass of Brunello di Montalcino. We had our choice of a predetermined 8-course meal with wine parings or the traditional sequential order of an appetizer, entree, and desert. We chose the latter. We ordered a pre-appetizer of Italian cheeses which were rich and delicious, presented on a tiny plate with a couple of small pecan toasts. Meanwhile a waiter presented us with a basket of warm, homemade breads from which we had our choice, which included pretzel, sourdough, cranberry walnut, among others. Some of the rolls were much harder than we preferred however and were quite difficult to break and eat. Fortunately, the cream in my scallop chowder appetizer served as a great place to soften them. My girlfriend had a fantastic golden and red beet salad with goat cheese and pumpkin seed vinaigrette. After more wine, we were brought our entrees. I had a 28-day dry aged New York sirloin with mushrooms, vegetables, white asparagus, and sweet potato puree while she had rack of lamb topped with tapenade with potatoes and ratatouille, both being the best we had ever had, although not surprising given the restaurant's reputation and prestige, as well as the fact the lamb and sirloin was sourced from the resort's proprietary free-range ranch in Colorado. We then ordered coffee, tea, and dessert, which were of course expected to be over-the-top and delicious and yet we were still taken aback. The coffee was brought out in an elegant french press, and her aromatic tea was presented in an interesting brew mechanism from which the cup is removed from the bottom. Her dessert was a charming semolina pudding with fresh fig ice cream which was absolutely unique and delicious. My dessert was aptly named "Chocolate Galaxy." The flavors and richness of the ice cream and cake were things that I could not recall ever experiencing before. As a nice added touch, the staff also placed on my plate a layer of marzipan inscripted in chocolate with "Happy Birthday," which was very much appreciated. Our fantastic night lasted about three hours, and only a glimpse of it can be expressed through writing, as the restaurant's aura, skills of the staff, and presentations can only be experienced. We will absolutely return again for the next occasion. read more

Up the elevator inside the country club, you will find a little dining room where I had one of the best meals in recent memory. The European wait staff was very warm and helpful, constantly circulating to be attentive but not annoying. The sommelier made wonderful suggestions and does tours of the impressive cellars- which we did not see. I had monkfish and lemon risotto and my husband had wild boar. I know. Anyway, they were superb. My appetizer was foie gras two-ways and he had scallops of some sort. The man who brought the dishes out kept getting ours mixed, but it was funny. The room is beautiful to see the sunset. We ended our meal after dark and had two desserts. One was a coffee and doughnuts thing that Montville Inn tried and failed (if you read my review) and the other was a chocolate galaxy with sugared stars and comets. Both were nice with a little port. They brought us a marzipan plaque that read "happy anniversary" with two little cheesecake bites, too. Very sweet, no pun intended. read more

Fantastic Saturday night dinner; food was amazing; pairings spectacular; fantastic staff; extremely knowledgeable sommelier. Started the evening with a specialty cocktail--the bees knees--absolutely incredible. I will be dreaming about the chanterelle starter for the next several months. We will be back! read more

Four family members and I planned a dinner for my sisters 50th birthday in April. This was perhaps the worst meal I've ever had so I'm calling this an $1100 learning experience. I like to think I have a fairly sophisticated palate having lived overseas for three years and travelled the world extensively but this food was beyond belief. When I asked the manager if he even tried the April menu, he responded "No". How on earth can an establishment plan a set menu for a month and not have the employee's, particularly the manager even try it? When I shared my opinions with the Manager, he asked for my contact information and now it is 60 days later without him calling me back. Now in all fairness, I can't really call it an $1100 loss as we did have 2 bottles of wine which were terrific and the wine cellar tour was nice. All in all the evening was a bust and I will never go back. read more

I went here for some brandy and cigars , I heard they have a great drawing room there . Actually, we went here for my cousins 30th birthday. I was pretty taken back at how enchanted it felt going there. An elevator took us down to the actual restaurant. Which over looked the resort. Our servers came and greeted us with ridiculously fresh juices and delicious cocktails. Then came the breakfast items we picked from our menus , with delicious breads , jams and the freshest butter I have ever tasted. All white glove service. I enjoyed the whole experience but it seems the menu changes and its hit or miss, you might go home a little hungry since the portions are small, but it's definetly worth checking out. They also have an amazing selection of vintage wines and they made one rocking , spicy Bloody Mary! read more

Incredible service. I had cassoulet for first course and the monkfish for second course. My husband had the truffle risotto and a dish (the name escapes me now) that had ostrich, boar, elk, and venison with a glass of super tuscan wine which he enjoyed. The food was absolutely amazing. The desserts were incredible - I had the chocolate galaxy and he had the lemon tart. We finished with tea which was perfectly steeped. It's pricey but you get what you pay for and is definitely fine dining. The ambiance is cozy and it's great to experience this restaurant at least once. read more

It's a nice more "upscale" atmosphere. If you're into golfing or a country club type atmosphere this is for you. The dinners start around $25 last time I was there. The food was good but the portions are very small. read more

I've always wanted eat here and finally did last night. I've eaten at what some consider the best restaurants in the country and let me tell you Restaurant Latour was superb. In every way it exceeded my expectations, from the atmosphere to the service and most of all the magnificent food! What a truly memorable experience!!! read more

My husband and I had dinner here last Saturday night for our 10th anniversary as part of an overnight stay at the Grand Cascades Lodge that this restaurant is in. I have heard wonderful things about the restaurant over the years, but then saw some not so good reviews on Yelp from last winter/early 2015 and had some trepidation. For the price we were planning on paying, we did not want to be disappointed. Furthermore, we sometimes do get disappointed as we have been to some of the best restaurants around and also pride ourselves on cooking well at home, and therefore find ourselves wondering sometimes what all the hype was about when we visit a restaurant only to find the food unimaginative and mediocre. I want to set the record straight that our meal at Restaurant Latour last weekend was everything we could have hoped for and more - it was absolutely exquisite. Whatever issues they were having with their chef at the beginning of the year seemed to have resolved themselves (with a new chef) and their renowned food was back. Well worth the trip. We each ordered the 5 course meal with wine pairings. For harvest, I got the blue cheese tortellini and my husband got the mushrooms with grains and hen's egg. Both were excellent but I liked his a little more. His was a heartier dish, mine had just a few tortellini, and his was a more interesting dish. Earthy mushrooms, a creamy grain mash on the bottom, and a hen's egg that you break and let ooze over the whole thing. Delicious. For our aquatic course, we both went with the Hamachi (raw amberjack fish, the only raw fish option), which was sliced with a number of garnishes on top, including fennel, citrus segments and fresh green olives and dried crumbled black olives. LOVED it. So glad we both got the same thing as I wouldn't have wanted to share that. And the white wine (3 Brooms Sauv Blanc) that was paired with that dish was right on. The wines during the meal were all very good, but that one particularly stood out as being perfectly balanced to the flavors of that dish. For our meat course, my husband got the lamb and I got the rib eye. Both were great but mine was the best in my opinion (he thought his was better, though). The meat in particular had been cooked using a slow-cooked method that actually cooks the meat all the way through while still leaving it red in the middle, giving the appearance and texture of being cooked medium rare. It had a crisp crusty texture on the outside of the meat and it was just divine. We are used to some great rib eyes that we purchase at Fairway Market, but this truly was fantastic. For the cheese course, he got the blue cheese and I got a St. Stephen cow's milk cheese that was soft like a brie. I don't remember much about it other than that I liked it very much, particularly the condiments it was paired with. For dessert, I got the chocolate hazelnut one that was a three layer chocolate torte with hazelnut mousse and passion fruit gel. I could have done without the passion fruit as that is not a flavor I like all that much, but the chocolate and hazelnut dessert itself was fabulous. My husband got a meyer lemon cheesecake with pear garnishes. His was really awesome too. Then just when we thought we were done, they brought out a complimentary 6th dish that included bite sized house-made chocolates and macaroons. All in all the food was a masterpiece, that's all I can say. Each dish was incredibly well thought out with lots of different favors and layers of food. Finally a word about the staff. From the first moment we walked in when Bruno took us up the elevator to the restaurant and our table, everyone went out of their way to attend to our needs. I found everyone extremely attentive and friendly and they all helped each other out. We chatted with the sommelier when he brought each wine out too as we had met him earlier that day at the wine cellar tour and found him to be very nice and obviously someone who loves talking about wine. I didn't find any of the staff to be rude or stuffy. Overall, the meal was extremely memorable and returning for, as was the wine. Would I do it every month or even every year? At that price point, definitely not, and it probably would lose its allure if we went all the time. But certainly I would return for a special occasion hands down and be really excited about returning to boot. I definitely recommend the restaurant for a couple or small group on a special occasion. read more

If you want to throw up this is the place to eat. Yes it's fancy but the food is terrible, seriously room service and the bar foods by any of the pools taste better and are bigger. Don't go here read more

We went there Thursday. Not only a great view, but the food was outstanding. I would put it up with any upscale NYC restaurant. We will be back. read more

I had my Anniversary dinner at Latour Restaurant last weekend. I must say , their service was great. The waiters provide great service. My boyfriend and I did the 8 course tasting. Which had a variety of food. It consisted of a variation of Shellfish, Salmon, Pigeon, Pork, Lamb, Cheese and Pear Dessert. I must say that I'm a picky eater, and I wouldn't had order most of these on it's own. I tried it. The Shellfish, Salmon, Pork Belly and Cheese were great. The other things were good but not great. read more

WOW! DOUBLE WOW!! I'm now sorry I've given 5-star ratings to other restaurants before now, because Latour is so far better and so head and shoulders above anything I've ever experienced, so excellent, so professional, that it's clearly in a class by itself. Ethereal and magical are the words that come to mind when describing dining at Latour! The food, from appetizer to dessert, is perfection. The wine list is simply the best in the country, and amazingly exceptionally fairly priced. I had heard from friend's that Crystal Springs was a destination resort worth visiting, but Latour itself is worth a trip from anywhere! read more

We went here for New Year's Eve. The dining eerie nice was wonderful. My customers loved the menu, which was a price fixed with wine pairing. The sommelier was excellent and our waiter was the best. It's a very small place, say about 12 tables each seating, so it's very intimate. read more

Terrific place for a special dinner. Great atmosphere (including the view), and both the food and wine were outstanding, as was the attentive service. read more

Very disappointing. Special Valentines menu had no options of main course either pig or celery and they jacked the price up 40 a head. My husband is stopping to get Chinese food on the way home since portions were so small he is starving. Menu online was different and misleading. $400 later very underwhelmed. Would never go back and would recommend to others never to go. Everyone expects to pay more for valentines weekend but it shouldn't be to th point that it's rang advantage less food, less choices higher payment is not the way to win repeat business read more

Anyone who rates Latour as 3-stars is obviously not appreciative of fine dining. This isn't a place to bring your young children or expect a big proportion of food for $20. Expect to spend a lot of money and time; and have the time of your life if you appreciate amazing food, service and ambiance. I've been to a number of "comparable" French restaurants (including a number of them in Paris) but Latour exceeds them all in every regard. My wife and I had the 7-course meal and it was the best food either of us had ever had. The service was just amazing; it's the only place where they offered to escort my wife to the lady's room, and she took them up on it (hey, why not?). read more

Six of us went for brunch to celebrate my mother's birthday and our meal was absolutely incredible. Each bite was a slice of heaven. We did the 2-course menu, which allows you to chose 2 items from any part of the menu and it comes with an assortment of breads and pastries, juices, sodas and drinks. The amount of food is awesome. You may think $55 or $75pp is a lot for brunch, but after seeing the quantity and quality you'll think otherwise. We've been to Jean-Georges, Per Se and Daniel, and this definitely ranks among them. We most certainly will be back, perhaps next time for dinner! read more

This restaurant is small pretentious and the food is below average of a New York restaurant but with the same prices staff is totally disrespectful to customer. too bad because the wine list seems to be outstanding read more

What could have been a very nice dining experience was basically ruined our server. Crystal Springs is a beautiful resort, and all of the facilities are excellent. The sommelier that provided the wine tasting was very friendly and knowledgable. The food is generally very good, with nice presentations. Unfortunately our main waitress had such a poor attitude that it ended up eclipsing our experience. Completely reasonable requests were met with snide comments and sometimes downright hostility. Some of our party gave up on asking for what they wanted because they were tired of feeling like they were 'getting in trouble'. After we left, instead of talking about the food, all we could do was try to decode what we could have done to deserve such treatment. For the prices you pay, they have a long way to go to in providing the quality of service one would expect. read more

Went there for my wife's birthday. Fantastic ambience, nice small place. Had tasting menu with matching wines. Meal was great, wine matching worked well. So why 3 stars? I asked them for a birthday candle to be brought with dessert when making reservation. Confirmed/reminded upon arrival. Dessert time comes, no candle. Hard to comprehend. Could not really do anything about it in my wife's presence. Sent an e-mail few days later. No response. Ruined evening for me. read more

For several years my husband and I have wanted to go to la tour. We love to go to high end restaurants for special occasions and truly enjoy the experience when we can. With much anticipation we finally made it to la tour for my birthday. Unfortunately we were highly disappointed with the experience. First the menu: u have a choice only of 5 or 7 course dinner and vegetarian or meat. My husband and I both chose the meat 5 course and I got the wine pairing as well. The first two courses were completely unmemorable. One of which was one raw scallop in some sort of foam and seawater. It was completely tasteless and when the server asked if I enjoyed it I said, "not really," and they just smiled and took away the plate. The other course was two oysters in a candied pineapple. It was a very odd - and I can't say that I enjoyed that one that much either because the chewy pineapples got stuck in my teeth in a way that didn't feel so nice. It just didn't work for me. The third course I would've considered the main course. It was a venison in a curried sauce with lemongrass. The flavor was excellent however I felt the meat was over cooked. I explain this to the waiter and they told me that the venison was cooked in some special method for 36 hours on low temperature and that the meat cannot be overdone. This method was supposed to keep the meat medium rare with a well-done texture. The meat was very mealy to me, and for the price I was quite disappointed. I am a huge venison fan too. So I know what it is supposed to taste like. The last two courses consisted of different types of sorbets and ice creams. They were pretty much desserts as far as I could tell. Again another disappointment. My review on the wine pairing is as follows, they brought out two different wines for my first two courses both of which I thought were unpalatable to me. Such strong acid in the wine's burned my esophagus going all the way down to my stomach. I actually stopped the wine pairing in the middle of the dinner because the wine was so bad. The wine sommelier was almost argumentative with me when I was explaining my unsatisfactory review of the wines. All in all my husband and I feel that la tour was a lot of fluff. High prices for not so great meals! Obviously they were trying to make it very high-end, but the end result was not enjoyable. I actually was tempted to stop for a bagel on my way home from la tour because I was still hungry. Needless to say we will not be going back. read more

We went last Friday night (2/13/15). They only had a Valentine menu for $200 each which included wine pairing. The wines was exceptional, but the food was non existent. Was actually hungry after dinner. I know the French eat small, but this was ridiculous. Glad I ate a lot of bread. The piece of quail was the size of a buffalo wing, the potato a tatter tot and one oyster. I could go on and on, but save your money. read more
