Alta Vida’s Swiss fondue pop-up was a complete culinary misfire.
We ordered the “Fondue Bourguignonne.” What arrived bore no resemblance to the classic dish. Instead of hot oil suitable for properly cooking beef, we were given a barely simmering beef broth over an underpowered burner. There was steam, but no real boil — making it impossible to cook the thinly sliced raw beef beyond a painfully slow poach. Pre-cooked shrimp and chicken were included (inexplicably), along with mushrooms and halved new potatoes. The execution was incoherent.
Service structure was equally lacking: plastic ramekins of mayonnaise-based sauces, no individual plates initially, and minimal utensils. This wasn’t rustic charm — it was poor planning.
To their credit, the chalet-style space is beautiful: airy, exposed beams, warm alpine atmosphere. The staff was kind, accommodating, and ultimately apologetic. I told our server plainly, “This is not good, and I am not paying for it.” They understood.
At best, it was a strange and curious culinary experiment. At worst, it was a complete failure of concept and execution. The only redeeming aspect was that the cascading missteps became unintentionally amusing.
If you’re going to do fondue, commit to the physics and the tradition. Otherwise, don’t do it at all. Our advise is to avoid the Swiss Fondue pop-up until such time that the venue is able to pull off the concept with actual representative cuisine.

We came here with a conference group of about 30. The restaurant was clean, we were greated by and extremely friendly bartender named Ryan. The food was buffet style since we were a large group. Homemade salsa, amazing. Tacos, burritos, quesildillas, beans, veggie options, salad, all the toppings and desert! All were DELISH! Definitely good Mexican food especially since it was on the resort property. Now let’s talk staff. We had Heidi as our hoatess/ waitress.she was attentive, accommodating, pleasant and fun. As the night went on, she was very personable and laughing with us! She was awesome!!! Ryan was our bartender. What a nice guy who also was pleasant, polite, fun and hard working. There are fire pits outside as well. If I ever return to Camelback, I will definitely return to Alta Vida. Thanks for a great night!

It is so close to the resort so we walk to here. But we were told the menu just get changed ,which is different than what is online menu. Then it is more than 30 mins wait . Seems they prob completely forgot us . The kids are so starving .. . Maybe they have computer issues. The waitress is not bad she try to be tentative but just the food is too slow .. and really a waste of time if you want to do something after dinner . If they could be quicker serve the food I will recommend for 5 star

Was relocated to hemispheres inside the lobby of the actual resort possibly due to renovation but the food was plentiful and very delicious. Our server was also super attentive and very accommodating!

I ordered takeaway from Alta Vida at Camelback Poconos while staying at the resort. At first, the food looked fine, but once I started eating, I discovered the bottom was completely burnt and inedible. That was disappointing, especially given the expectations at a resort restaurant.
That said, the other food items we ordered were good and enjoyable, so it seems this was more of a one-off mistake than the norm. When I called to let them know, the staff were extremely polite and immediately refunded me — no hassle, no request for proof, just excellent customer service.
Mistakes can happen, but how a place responds makes a big difference. Because of their service (and the fact that the rest of the food was tasty), I’d be open to giving them another try in the future.

The food here was terrible. The taquitos were served cold in the middle first (frozen ) then overcooked when sent back. The tacos were so bad, the 1/2 size tortillas seemed microwaved and the precooked chicken and steak were barely warm. It’s like nothing here is fresh, it’s all shortcuts and precooked stuff. The service was great (amazing even) but I paid $100 for a trash meal in a nice setting. For this place to be in a luxurious mountain escape and have this quality of food is a travesty. They could do so much better. The food was literally a 1/10 (the only good thing was the quesadilla and the tres leches cake)
To be fair, Saja our server was amazing. The problems at this restaurant are systemic kitchen and management issues.
– the menu feels designed for convenience, not quality—likely to accommodate a small (repurposed) ski-lodge kitchen.
– that said, kitchen limitations aren’t an excuse; there are plenty of ways to execute a menu well.
– proteins should be cooked to order, not pre-cooked and reheated.
– well thought out dishes with better execution would allow for fresher preparation and better consistency.
– with proper execution, this food could be dramatically better without major changes to the space.

Not a word in this universe can describe how
terrible this place is. We had a 7:30 reservation and stayed there for 2 hours while having our orders done wrong, the food taking literally forever, but our waitress was very nice and was very sorry. That’s the only good thing. The food was also horrendous. I mean I rather survive 10 days in Alaska with minimal clothing than eat that garbage again. We ordered nachos at 7:40 and they came out at 8:45 with just a little queso sauce on top. Only enough for 5 chips. And the ambiance here is nice with the mountain and the scenery, but terrible with every other topic. If one place in this world should be gone for good it should Alta Vida. Suggestion: if you go to camelback resort do not go to there restaurants on site. They overprice every item and the quality is terrible. For example, a bottle of water in the hotel costs four dollars. In conclusion, Alta Vida is a terrible place to be at and don’t go there.

I came here after snow tubing. The staff was so nice and wonderful. Our server Saja was great at recommending drinks and foods to get. She was so kind and just overall amazing. There was another lady who works for the restaurant who was also talking to us I didn’t get her name she was very funny. The steak fajita was seasoned so well. Overa the experience was amazing. 10/10 would recommend.

Took a risk at Fondue theme night for valentines day with a reservation. It took a bit of time just to get raw food to the table. The setup by admittance of the staff was not adequate to bring broth to a boil in the pots using regular sternos to heat the fondue pot. The pieces of beef took 10 minutes a piece. Service was not great as staff seemed overwhelmed with the new concept. We left over half of the food and was not granted any discounts but an apology for improper gear to run their fondue. $130 later we will not be back. The location and atmosphere is great at the bottom of Camelback watching the skiers. Our server was sympathetic and stated that similar complaints had been stated. Upon leaving we noticed they started bringing already heated pots out for the tables then using sternos not gas piloted burners. I do not recommend with so many options in the Poconos.

From the moment we stepped into Alta Vida we were greeted with friendly customer service. Our server Saja was fantastic. She was very attentive and friendly. The food was amazing. We enjoyed the carne asada tacos and the sizling fajitas. We celebrated my sons birthday and he enjoyed everything he ate!
