The Crossing Restaurant Review

: The four restaurants Jim Fiala owns have distinctly different personalities, but they share the reputation for quality he established back in 1998 when he opened The Crossing. It’s a place where you can see limos parked out front and the city's movers and shakers tucked into the creamy dining room. Despite that, service is unpretentious and friendly. Beware the blue cheese soufflé placed on your table shortly after arrival; it's addictive and filling, unless there are at least three of you to fight for it. Good first courses include a roasted beet and goat cheese salad as well as foie gras with seasonal fruit, the foie gras crisp on the outside and melting inside. This is a fine place to discover egg raviolo, a farm-fresh egg inside a ricotta ravioli, served with a side of lamb. The expansive wine list offers a good number of quartinos, perfect for discovering new styles and regions.
