Crystal Falls

[cak]

So, since I'm thinking about restaurants ... what happened to Crystal Falls? The sign has been down for a while, but I thought it might be a seasonal closing. Now there's a for sale sign, it seems.

Since returning from the mountain where I hit the motherload I was thinking of buying that place up and turning it into a fancy scmancy dining facility and calling it "Panning for grub" What do ya think?

I got message of the closing of this place late last year by one of my courier falcons...

As long as you don't tack on a fixed 18% tip, you might have something there.

I have only known a few people who went to that place for dinner and they said for the money it cost, they were disappointed. I just take one look at that steep driveway and think it's a good thing they did that before the county adopted stricter grade percentages. I also think that being in such close proximity to Mountain House is a disadvantage to Crystal Falls, because Mountain House is probably more attractive to travelers, locals, etc.

There has been alot of work going on there lately. Anyone know what's going on?

We went by there shortly before they closed down - what a magical location - just beautiful with the waterfalls, stream, trees - a real gem... But never got to eat there - we went to make a reservation - the wha lah - gone...

To me it looks like a modern type building going in - maybe someone's future home? If I had the money, I would have loved to live there!

No kidding! I have eaten there a couple of times. The food was lousy but the location was amazing!

A Dairyman from the Valley bought it and yes, he is turning it into a private residence. He is also building a fully loaded art studio for his wife.....or so the rumor goeshttp://oakhurstonline.com/icon/lol.gif

Oh shoot, I never got to see it - guess I never will now. Thats the thing up here - ya gotta go visit these places cause they vanish into thin air before you know it!

It looks like they tore down the house and kept the restaurant. In place of the house, there is a big concrete, 2 story ugly structure. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/confused.gif

Now what the heck would that be - a parking structure? Wonder what they're thinking of doing with that place?
