   The food was exceptional. The service was warm and helpful, but hard to get assistance once the restaurant got busy. Delicious food in a lovely atmosphere. Thank you for a wonderful time at dinner.

   Wonderful experience. Loved every thing that we tried on the menu. Service was excellent despite it being a busy weekend dinner time. The ambience is just wow. We drove all the way from Orange County and it was totally worth it. Would love to go back.

   This was our first time visiting Crossroads Kitchen, celebrating a birthday. The location is very convenient, but a little confusing because the entrance is on Sweetzer and hidden by plastic/vinyl panels. We had reservations for an early dinner (6 pm) and were seated immediately on arrival. After marveling at the interesting menu options, we decided on the artichoke oysters, stuffed zucchini blossoms, and pear carpaccio salad as starters, and lasagna, eggplant riblet, truffle mushroom pizza, and truffle potatoes for dinner. The artichoke oysters and pear carpaccio salad were tasty but not dazzling. The almond ricotta in the stuffed zucchini blossoms was excellent, and we saved the marinara sauce to dip our pizza crust. The lasagna, with its puttanesca sauce, was a punch of amazing flavors--definitely one of the favorites for the evening. The eggplant riblet, paired with whipped potatoes, had such a rich, meaty flavor and was a dish of pure comfort. The crust of the mushroom pizza had such a great texture--soft with just the right amount of crispiness--and the flavors were fantastic, especially dipped in the aforementioned marinara sauce. And the truffle potatoes are a definite must order. They are served with the lion's mane steak, which we did not order, so we were glad to have the potatoes as a side. We finished our birthday celebration with the banana pudding and fudge brownie sundae--both were so fresh and light, and aside from the slight coconut and cashew flavors, you would never guess the desserts were vegan. Overall, a wonderful dining experience. We will definitely be back!

   Amazing food. Server was very nice but not too attentive and had to he reminded about a request that took about fifteen minutes to complete and the restaurant was basically empty. Only us and a couple other tables. That said we’ll be back. Overall very good experience.

   Great food, unreal that vegetables can taste so much like dairy and meat. Very busy, reservations required and we still had to wait for nearly 20 min, parking is a bit tough.

   Everything was great except for the small print 3% surcharge on all orders. That's deceptive. It breaks trust with your customer base. If you want to supplement staff pay by 3%, then raise your prices *transparently* and then raise their wages. Putting it in small print in the bottom corner of a menu where almost no one will notice (we come, or used to come, regularly and never noticed this) is beyond deceptive, especially since customers will then tip on top of this amount. It's a shame because the food is great, we want to support vegan restaurants, the atmosphere is good, the service is prompt, and the prices aren't unreasonable. But the deception ruins trust and ruins the relationship and makes us not want to come back.

    We bought a bottle of champagne and not once did anyone refill our glass. We even waited to see multiple times and they’d come to the table to deliver food etc but would leave us with empty glasses. Not a huge issue but when buying an expensive bottle and going to a not cheap restaurant I’d expect them to be aware.
