what a delicious brunch spot! the overall interior is spacious and very welcoming. we went for brunch and they had an extensive menu of options. the stand out for me was the Lobster Benedict. the espresso in their latte was great quality. we saw the menu also had a bottomless mimosa add-on, will be coming back for that. overall, great dining experience and service. recommend their brunch!

My husband and I had a great, quiet brunch. After the new year and snow storm forecasted, it was really nice. Gwen was so interesting and positive and informed about the menu and events which I had many questions. It has always been a favorite spot but this last time was better!!!

Big fan of this place. Great ambiance - inside and out. We ate outside last night, with our fur buddy - very pet friendly with big bowl of water and a doggie menu. Menu is varied and creative. Drinks are as well. We got beet salad, scallops entree and a burger, and the doggie burger - all were great. Mango Chili margaritas were great! Our server, Keith, was super friendly and informative. All around a great experience and that's consistently been my experience here.

Service was good and a,Bianca was very much a bar atmosphere. The French onion soup was really good, but the chicken Caesar was bland. Overall a decent spot. But good for bar food or a couple of drinks.

This is my second time to the restaurant for brunch. The first time when I went, it was a totally different vibe. There was a DJ and the place was really busy this time it was very quiet. I'm not sure if it's just because it was so cold out. it's a great place for brunch because they have bottomless bloody Mary's or mimosas and both are very good and not watered down. The food there is tasty. I've had the chicken and waffles, and really enjoyed them. I've also had the turkey and brie sandwich special which was flavorful. This is a place that I always go to when I'm in town whether it's just a sit at the bar and have a bloody Mary or to have the bottomless brunch. I will definitely be returning.

Went on a sunday for brunch with a group of 5. We wanted to do bottomless but couldn't because it's only for groups of 6 or more unfortunately. Bloody Marys were very very good. For my entree I got Chicken and Waffles and a side of extra crispy bacon. I read the menu incorrectly and didn't realize it was sausage gravy I thought it said sausage and gravy. I personally hate sausage so was just expecting to give the sausages to someone in my group. So unfortunately I didn't enjoy my meal too much. The actual and chicken and waffles part were amazing but just the sausage gravy I didn't like. I would recommend this place! Also in a great location!!

What a redemption story. A quarter of the way through this experience, I was fully prepared to write this place off, but somehow they came roaring back. I don't think this is necessarily a top two or three spot in downtown Asbury, but it can at least hold its own. The Millennial Chum and I stopped by here yesterday afternoon for brunch. It was honestly our third choice after two nearby places either had long waits or seemed to be more bar than restaurant. But that IS one of the selling points of Asbury - if at first you don't succeed, there are 50 other places that might have an open table. The minute we sat down, I was put off. The acoustics in here are insane, and it's more like a concert hall than a restaurant noise-wise. We literally had to yell to hear each other from across the table. The interior has no dividers (it's all open space), so there's literally nothing in the building to muffle sound. To be fair though, that situation DID improve later on as the tables near us started emptying. I decided to get a Call Me Old Fashioned ($16), which was one of the worst cocktails I've ever had - so bad, that I cajoled the Millennial Chum to walk 15 minutes in the oppressive humidity over to R Bar so I could get a decent bourbon-based refreshment to fix my palate. This might be it for me and Old Fashioneds for a while. A good Old Fashioned to me needs at least one or two additions, usually something sweet or smoky to enhance the bourbon. This allegedly had apricot liquor, but I didn't detect anything other than straight bourbon. Even dousing the orange garnish and smushing the black cherry into the bottom of the drink didn't do anything - it was like gasoline. If I come back here, I'm sticking with water. And then the tide turned. We decided to split an order of the Belgian Waffles ($13), which was an excellent decision. They were DELICIOUS, and the passion fruit butter it came with was amazing - the Millennial Chum actually summoned her courage and asked for a lid for the condiment container so she could bring it home. That also meant I had to hear regular updates on our way back about the state of the butter, including that it was too hot from the car, and that it was cold again from the air conditioner. I've never been that informed about a little serving of butter before, but hopefully that gives you an idea of how valued it was. I also ordered the Lobster Bennie as my main entrée ($22), which was fantastic as well. The lobster was fresh and the home fries were flavorful and cooked perfectly. My only piece of constructive feedback for that dish is that the cheddar biscuit it comes with is insanely small, easily at least half the size of a normal biscuit or English muffin that you'd typically get. If you're not careful, the biscuit will disappear well before the eggs and hollandaise. The service was a microcosm of our overall experience. It was pretty rough to start - a waiter rushed by our table with water (the water was certainly appreciated though) and said he'd be back shortly. We never saw him again, and our actual waitress didn't come by for close to 10 minutes, at which point we were more than ready to order everything. She was very good going forward though, stopping by on a regular basis to check in, and of course was very helpful with the passion fruit butter situation. Great brunch food but if you need a cocktail, I'd play it much safer or go somewhere else afterwards to fill that need.

I have been to cross and orange so many times over the past few months! My sister and my soon to be brother in law are getting married here in October. The staff has been so amazing during this entire process. My mom and I went to the testing for the wedding and everything was so delicious, I know my family is going to be very happy the big day. Besides all the times I've been here getting ready for the wedding, I've also been here for brunch. If you're coming on the weekend, you should try to get yourself a rezzy because it does get packed and there is usually a wait. But the food does not disappoint. Every time I've come to C&O I have been really happy and left super full.

Nice atmosphere, great menu and good food. Sat at the bar since the wait for a table would be a while. The bartender, Mary, was amazing! despite being short another bartender and bar back. She was very positive and engaging. She also took care of everyone at the bar and the restaurant orders without appearing flustered. I ordered the Cross signature burger. It came with a generous amount of bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onion. Served with hand cut French fries. They also offer endless Mimosas and bloody Marys for parties 6 and greater. Despite staffing shortages, Cross did not disappoint. Ask for Mary the bartender when you visit!
