My girlfriend and I had a fantastic experience at The Crossing last weekend. Our server, Gus, was fantastic every step of the way. Going into the dinner, we had reviewed the menu and decided on the tasting menu (which allows you to select among various options for four different courses). It looked fantastic, and we planned on wine pairings!
However, Gus discussed the Chef's Tasting Menu with us and described exactly what it entails. My girlfriend has a gluten intolerance, and he stated that the chefs would work within any existing allergies. This made the decision much simpler, as usually she has to double check every menu option and ensure it does not have gluten. Avoiding that makes for a much more relaxing dinner!
The Chef's menu is like wonderful "food roulette". We told Gus about my girlfriend's intolerance, and he took care of everything from that point forward. There are eight courses, and they're preceded by the MOST WONDERFUL BREAD I have ever had at a restaurant (it tasted like the homemade bread my grandma makes!). They even brought out a loaf of gluten-free bread for my girlfriend (which she said was great).
Our eight courses started off with lighter dishes and built into a wonderful crescendo of foie gras, beef tenderloin, and sea bass. Long story short, every course was fantastic. The stand out performers were the sea scallop as well as the desserts, which were a creme brulee and a flourless chocolate torte (flourless, so my girlfriend could eat it!).
Overall, this was a fantastic meal made better by the warm, welcoming attitude of every staff member. Waters were constantly refilled, the table was properly maintained, and every dish was explained in a level of detail that wasn't condescending but was very informative.
I would certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal. It's a bit on the pricier side, but it's well worth it. This was certainly one of, if not THE, best meal I've ever had.
