    Smaller, low key but elegant upscale restaurant. Inventive menu with a unique selection of dishes. Service was stellar and worthy of some of the restaurants we frequent in New Orleans. Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and will return.

    As always, our experience at The Crossing was wonderful. The food is outstanding. Our waiter was incredible. We even made a crazy request and he accommodated us. (Thank you!) For a fantastic meal, with incredible service and good conversations (love that they have plexiglass between the booths), choose The Crossing.

    The only thing better than the food is the service. The Crossing never fails to deliver on an excellent experience.

    The bathroom decor is not in line with the excellence of food and service. Quick update to match with the ambiance would be good.

    For my 50th birthday, my partner and I chose the 8-course Chef’s Tasting Menu at The Crossing, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. Each course was beautifully crafted, with flavors that were both inventive and deeply satisfying. The pacing, presentation, and wine pairings were flawless. The service was warm and attentive, making us feel genuinely celebrated. From the first bite to the final dessert, the entire evening felt like a perfect tribute to this milestone. A truly unforgettable experience.

    The Crossing food was amazing, as always. Good service. Just be careful about the hefty upcharges when ordering options on the meal combos--they aren't listed on the menus and staff describes the options as interchangeable. Enjoyable dinner, nonetheless.

    This is a little gem! The chef prepared a four-course, exquisite dinner that was as beautiful as it was delicious. Every staff member we encountered was warm and welcoming. If you're looking for a small, local, and excellent dining experience, The Crossing should be at the top of your list!
