Crosby's Kitchen
Crosby’s Kitchen offers perfectly prepared American fare. The menu is simple and delicious; the cornbread appetizer is a favorite. You’ll see deliciously succulent chicken on the rotisserie in this open kitchen style restaurant. The ambiance is comfortable and lacks pretense. A full-service bar also boasts delicious cocktails.
