We were very, very pleased with our dinner last night at Minneci's at the Crossing. We took out our employees, so we were a table of 5. We ordered a bottle of wine, appetizers (mozzarella with artichokes and fried calamari), and assorted entrees. We also ordered dessert. Everything was hot and delicious (except the calamari - but I think that's because we are in the midwest). The server was courteous and attentive. The pianist really added a nice touch to the evening. We all had a great time. It felt very European.
What I will say is that some parts of the meal were really drawn out - we actually prefer this. We didn't feel rushed. That's how a meal should be! But I can understand why some people would find that annoying. The prices are very reasonable, the portions are perfect. The server seemed young and a little inexperienced, but she did a good job.
Another reviewer said she was confused as to where to go when she walked in. I actually really like the wall. It will surely help keep out the cold wind in the wintertime. The restaurant has an open layout but it's, in a way, separated from the outside. That gives it a nice, classy feeling. I really liked it!
