This classic, unobtrusive spot wowed diners from the start, and after 20 years it continues to dazzle. Its four-for-$50 tasting menu offers five options per course, broadening the appeal. At lunch, the burger is not to be missed.
Background: The Crossing was one of the first restaurants in town to emphasize local products.
Vibe: At this cozy restaurant, regulars have a deep respect and trust for owner-chef Jim Fiala’s way with food.
Best Dish: The onion-blue cheese soufflé should start every dinner, but the four or eight course prix-fixe dinners are extremely popular.
