Crossroads Kitchen - Melrose

All vegan but even carnivores will enjoy every bite. No idea how they make everything taste so good, but it was delicious. Appetizers were great, the veggie lasagna was perfect, and the Italian sausage tasted like real meat. It's quite pricey but definitely worth it if you're looking to treat yourself to some high-end vegan food!

The starters, salad, and main dishes were divine. Nice atmosphere. Fancy, small, beautifully plated food. Everything is plant based, but the cheese tastes real. The pasta with an "egg" looks and acts like a yolk. It's amazing. My only disappointment is that all the desserts were overwhelmed by the taste of coconut, which I don't like. Overall, an amazing vegan restaurant.

Crossroads Kitchen delivered an exceptional vegan Thanksgiving dining experience, perfectly curated to showcase a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. The highlight of the meal was the scallopini, which was prepared with a rich, savory breading and paired with a robust gravy that elevated every bite. The accompanying mashed potatoes were decadently creamy, while the stuffing offered a delightful crunch, thanks to its golden crust and fresh ingredients. The beet-infused cranberry side brought a refreshing pop of acidity and color to the plate, perfectly balancing the heartier components of the dish. Brussel sprouts, roasted to perfection, added a caramelized depth, showcasing the kitchen’s meticulous attention to detail in even the simplest elements. Dessert continued to impress, with the pumpkin pie capturing the essence of the season in its spiced filling and buttery crust, topped with a dollop of creamy, vegan whipped topping. The preceding celery root soup was a surprising highlight as well, boasting a velvety texture and a delicate garnish that added a touch of sophistication. The service was as remarkable as the meal itself—attentive, warm, and welcoming, creating an atmosphere that felt both celebratory and intimate. The staff’s friendliness further enhanced the experience, making every guest feel like part of the Crossroads community. In summary, Crossroads Kitchen's vegan Thanksgiving meal was a masterful celebration of flavor, creativity, and hospitality, proving once again that plant-based cuisine can be just as festive and satisfying as its traditional counterparts. This is a must-experience meal for anyone seeking a gourmet, compassionate take on the holiday classics.

Crossroads Kitchen in Los Angeles offers a unique vegan dining experience, featuring inventive dishes like artichoke “oysters” and Lion’s Mane mushroom steak.  The ambiance is refined, and the presentation is impressive. However, while the creativity is commendable, the flavors, though enjoyable, may not compel frequent visits unless one follows a vegan diet. 

Loved everything about this place! The food was amazing and what you would expect for an upscale restaurant. The service was amazing. I hope to come back and try additional menu items during my next visit.
