    The food is outstanding, the services was excellent, and the valet saw us getting up so our car was immediately available. What a great night. The Beignets are to die for, so is the beet salad.

    I can’t say enough good things about The Crossing. The food was some of the BEST I have ever had!!!! From the amuse bouche onion/blue cheese soufflé with crostinis (and I don’t even like blue cheese) and warm bread (was told the flour is imported from Italy) to the mushroom soup, the roasted beet salad, the rabbit ravioli, the escargot, the sea scallops and the fried strawberry pie (pastry is made with beef tallow)…..all were on point and absolutely wonderful. I was shocked that we raved about ALL of the dishes. There was no, “It was alright” on any of the dishes. 2 people, 8 dishes and they were all melt-in-your-mouth delicious. When does that ever happen. My friend had the green chili gimlet (just a tingle of heat that did not over power the drink) and it was very tasty. I had wine and was able to split 2 Sancerre options into half pours so that I could taste each. And let’s not forget about our waiter Sonny. So informative, helpful, knowledgeable and engaged in conversation with us. He was awesome!!! Suffice it to say, I will be returning regularly! Thanks Crossing for excellent food and excellent service.
