Oliveris Crystal Lake Hotel - Carbondale (PA)

5 /5 Jackie Ruddy: Its a rare occasion when we experience a phenomenal dinner with a breathtaking view! We truly savor the delight. The service is outstanding and the food is delectable. This was an exceptional night that we immensely enjoyed. We had the chicken cappelletti soup to start and by far this was the most delicious cappelletti soup we have ever tasted. For our entrees we enjoyed the Salmon, NY Strip and Entree Salad prepared with the freshest veggies and shrimp. Amazing does not even begin to describe the flavorful, culinary creations that were second to none. Without question this was an all around sensational occasion. We did not stay at the hotel.

5 /5 Stephen Constable: The food was very good if not excellent. We stopped in on a Tuesday night on a rainy/snowy winters night. Only one other person was there, and they were seated at a very impressive bar. My wife had a salad and a scallop appetizer, I had a steak and sea bass. Everything was fresh and well presented. The veggies were not overcooked. My only complaint, and it was minor, was that the cab by glass was not impressive. The bottle I ordered off their wine list though was great. Really, very impressive food and service on a slow night. We will be back!!

4 /5 R. A. Demian: I’ve never stayed at the hotel as I live 20mins away but have been to the restaurant a few times. I love the outdoor seating next to the lake, great view with a very comfortable soothing atmosphere. The service is great and the menu options I believe are rotated and changed often. I love everything about this place but if I had to pick a negative aspect here it would be the pricing. I just didn’t feel the quality of the food and pricing were in-sync. Not to say the quality was lacking, it wasn’t. Really good presentation with decent portions but the prices just didn’t sit right with me. Overall it’s a great experience but be prepared to spend on the high side.

3 /5 Jay: Told me a price for a monthly rate the first night there but could not pay for a month that night, so we had to pay over a hundred dollars for one night. He said it would be no more then $650 or $700 for the month. The next day we got a sealed envelope from him with it saying for the room he wanted $950 for the month, and also $950 for a security deposit. We didnt end up staying because he would t honor the price he quoted when we first got there the night before. He should not say one price then add a few hundred dollars and a security deposit on top of the raised price. For that Id get a whole apartment!

5 /5 Kathleen Kern: Couldnt be more exquisite! I just went to dinner there so I cant comment on rooms. I say the location is excellent because they have outdoor dining overlooking the lake. But if youre just going for dinner its about a 35 minute ride from Scranton, but well worth the drive, as there is no other place like it locally. The staff is utterly attentive. Its also beautiful overlooking the lake while the sun sets. Most importantly is the food. There was a group of us getting together as we went through school with everyone. We chose a five course dinner. Each dish was excellent. Served in a perfectly timed manner. There were several meat dishes which were extremely delicious. All dishes we had were as well. The cost for each of us was $90.00 for five courses. Very fair price for quality dishes. Also, its so refreshing sitting outside close to the water. It creates a beautiful environment while dining. We ended up staying quite a long time, it may have been past closing, yet they never made us feel uncomfortable and never rushed us. If I had to choose among other restaurants, I would choose dining there above all other places. Perfect for special occasions.
