My favorite vegan spot ever!! The food is so good you don't feel like you're ever sacrificing flavor. Yes I could totally go vegan because of this spot as well. Almost too good to be true. Went to a girls dinner and ordered a few things. However only two plates made it to the camera roll. What we ordered: * kale caesar * ravioli * lasagna bolognese * mushroom truffle Blanco pizza Also earlier in the week I went to lunch here and had the bolognese and my friend had the Cacio de Pepe and let me try it. Both were incredible!!!! Highly, highly suggest every single dish I have tried here. I've been craving their food in-between ever since. Can't wait to go back for more. Hope you enjoy if you go!! You won't be disappointed.

I'd recommend Crossroads to anyone who enjoys a good vegan meal. I've been to this location twice and I'm always impressed by the food and the service. Out of all the dishes I've tried so far my favorite is the spicy vodka pasta with chicken Parmesan.

Literally one of my favorite restaurants in all of LA, the food is always amazing and I always forget that it's completely vegan! The service is usually pretty good as well and the ambiance is lovely. I really need to remember to come here more often, but this was my first time coming for lunch and I have no regrets. I also can't believe I resisted the temptation to get one of their amazing pizzas this time, but super happy with what I had, see the breakdown below: 5/5 - Carbonara Pasta: amazing taste, wonderful display with the egg on top and everything. Perfect portioning, not too heavy, but not too light either. 5/5 - BLT Sandwich: perfect texture, a great lunch treat, and it comes with fries on the side. 5/5 - Truffle Fries: crispy, full of flavor, and all-around delicious! If you like fries or truffle, this is a no-brainer for an app. Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Value: 4.5/5 Overall: 4.75/5

What an incredible dining experience. Light and airy with plenty of seating inside and out. Service was prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable. The vodka sauce is typically paired with rigatoni, but my dining companion preferred something different. The server discussed a variety of options without hesitation. Top notch customer service. Cocktails were prepared expertly. The blackberry mimosa was light. The Amalfi Spritz was amazing. So refreshing; this will be a new summer favorite. We ordered the lunch special - $30 for two courses. Terrific value. Our selection: - impossible cigars with spicy yogurt dip. These were fantastic. Light, crispy, not greasy in the least. The almond yogurt was topped with a chipotle type sauce and was the perfect dip. - the whipped feta and fig was phenomenal. Perfectly ripened figs, a creamy feta, and sprinkle of toasted hazelnuts. The accompanying bread was lightly toasted and drizzled with olive oil. I could make a meal of this and be happy. - the spicy vodka sauce was creamy with a nice little kick. - the cacio e pepe pasta was terrific. Perfectly cooked noodles with a dreamy sauce. Light and flavorful. Vegan? Even a die hard carnivore would leave here whistling a happy tune. It's that good.

Finally got to try crossroads after all this time! Definitely encourage more vegan/vegetarian restaurants around the city so I was so excited to try this place. We made a reservation easily online on Yelp the day before - would recommend the patio if the weather is nice out, though it might be hard to catch the servers. I ordered the breakfast burrito and also tried a bit of the chicken and waffles and mezze box. The burrito was pretty good - can't really make a terrible one but I loved the "sausage" along with the potatoes on the side to mix up the texture. The chicken and waffles were definitely a favorite! The butter was really really good and the chicken had really chicken like consistency which is a plus for people who don't get freaked out by that LOL. The mezze box was a lot smaller than I thought - it felt more like Lemonade to me than anything, which didn't justify the price, and I felt like the butter beans were lacking in flavor and spice. Overall, pretty good food with classic LA brunch prices! Parking: street parking is p easy around here but watch out for the signs/restrictions

This restaurant is vegan fine dining at its best! Everything I've eaten here has been exquisite and while I'm not a fan of their use of impossible meats, I love how they make vegetables taste so amazing! I dined there tonight and it was busy as usual and the service felt really slow (even though the staff was friendly and helpful!) I personally love the cheese plate and stuffed zucchini blossoms and find their pasta to be delicious as well. I also tried the tempeh piccata and found that to be a standout. Dessert is also a must here! I love the decor but always find it to be too noisy to carry a conversation with whoever I'm dining with! Nevertheless, I will be back soon!

Food was great along with service. My favorites were the calamari fritti, stuffed blossoms, & spaghetti carbonara. The linguini scallop pasta was light while carbonara was creamy. The lasagna was good too but I probably wouldn't order it over the pastas. I didn't like the mushroom pizza as much as I remember. The spicy meatball pizza was good too. We ordered cocktail drinks as well but our drinks were only 2/3rds filled for some reason...

As a fan of the location in Las Vegas, I was happy to experience the original location. We arrived for brunch at opening time on a Saturday. Enjoyed the Breakfast Burrito and Sicilian Supreme Pizza. Both were exceptional. Blackberry Mimosa was good. Our server was nice, but inattentive to our needs much of the time. She had disappeared on us long enough that I finally had to go track her down to tell her we were ready to order. When she brought the pizza, I had asked for red pepper flakes. The wait for this item was unreasonable, so I finally got up and asked the floor manager. After enough of this back and forth, we received attentive service from the combination of both the floor manager and our server.

June 19, 2024 8:30PM All vegan restaurant? Sure! I'm open to almost lots of food styles! Booked a reservation & you can wait at their bar for your table to be ready. The place is packed and it's loud in there! Servers put on a smile and do what they can. Parking! You will have a very difficult time finding parking so I suggest to have money ready for their valet or if you plan on getting a ride here do so. It's a "fine dining" vegan restaurant. At first, I thought it might have been a little overhyped by how attractive an ad made it look but after tasting that first mock-tail.. I got curious.. Every first bite, dish after dish would widen our eyes expressing our amaze of how good the food in this restaurant really is. The "meat" in the lasagna, the "caviar" on the oyster artichoke and the taste of the mock-tail definitely could have fooled me! Truffle pizza? Yumm.. Consider this a "fancy" place to enjoy a meal but not much space between tables. The parties next to your seating could be very obnoxious. Everything seems to be kept clean & orders came out in a decent pace. Overall it's a good spot to have a decent dinner, just don't expect service to be grand but they are nice. Would definitely come back to try out other dishes from menu because all the dishes we tried was surprisingly better than expected!

My wife and I set up reservations through Yelp for our tenth wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed. We initially were going to do the five course meal but decided on the seven specifically because of the zucchini stuffed blossoms. Man, those things are to die for. The blossoms had an amazing flavor and crunch, coupled with the best marinara I've ever had. The sauce was a meal in itself with how much flavor was jammed into it. Truly stellar. The rest of the courses were equally impressive but to keep some of the surprise aside I won't go into details. Just know the flavors were all an experience and the menu was a great story. There was even a surprise at the end which we adored. Thank you Chef for that . Parking had valet which I I recommend. It's fifteen bucks and you don't have to worry about licking o it and getting meter parking. The interior is beautiful and quaint. It gives a wonderful mix of casual and fine dining. I would also recommend the coffee. The cappuccino I had with my dessert made my night. Seriously cannot wait to come back.
