Decent food, slooow service.
There are not many dining options at Crystal Mountain, nor are there any nearby towns to fall back on. So if you're staying at the resort, and you're not going uphill/upscale at the Summit House, don't have a kitchenette and want something a bit more gourmet than pizza/grill fare, then this is your best option. Our latest visit came during the summer off-season. Our daughters have dietary restrictions, so we were delighted that a ski resort joint offered to accommodate them, but we could definitely tell that they're not very experienced dealing with food restrictions, unlike, say, Seattle restaurants. We had to explain to two foreign-born wait staff what "gluten" means, and there were a couple snafus getting the kids' orders delivered properly.
In the end, my daughter and wife had a tasty steak with mushroom chutney, though my pasta primavera was lackluster. We ordered gluten-free bread, which took 15 minutes to arrive. We were told it had to be "toasted" (uh, I suspect the applicable word here is "defrosted"), but my daughter was grateful for it when it arrived. The slow delivery was the norm on that evening: it took us two full hours from seating to departure (on a moderately-busy summer weekend evening), and looking around the dining room there were plenty of other families sitting there for a long time. Perhaps they ramp up their staffing during ski season, but I'd offer this cautionary note regardless: don't come here if you're in a hurry!
