Member Feedback 2025: The Food And Beverage Experience

  • August 2025
  • BY MARY PEABODY

Two open forums were held in the second quarter of 2025 to solicit member input on all things related to the dining experience at Cross Creek. Several members also submitted written feedback which is included in the results. A total of approximately 53 members responded to the invitations. Your feedback is listed below ranked according to popularity. Members were asked two questions:

1.      What is one thing you would like to remain unchanged?

2.      What is one thing you recommend be added, changed or addressed in the coming year?

WHAT SHOULD WE KEEP?

Happy Hour is a great addition.

Pricing is fair.

Love the decorations for special events.

Staff/Member relationships are cordial, warm and friendly.

Dining room linens adds a nice touch of formality.

Close to home – easy to access.
