    Celebrated our anniversary at the Crossing again - greeted with a special card on our table. Cheese souffle starter always great as was our Maryland Crabcake appetizer. Walleye and Corvina fish entrees were excellent and prepared perfectly. Brut Rose bubbles, a nice Chassagne-Montrachet with dessert beignets and port to round out abother perfect meal. Will definitely be back!

    We had a wonderful lunch at The Crossing. The pasta was excellent, perfect texture, lovely flavor. The trout was perfectly prepared, crisp skin, light lemon butter sauce. The wines by the glass program is excellent, with very well chosen, affordable wines. The best part of our experience was our server, who is also the manager.
