 Yes, in fact Cross Keys has reopened.  I recently went there (maybe
 about a month or so ago) and it was GREAT!  I had inquired about the
 very same thing earlier this year, and they hadn't reopened, but I guess
 within the last 4-5 months they have recovered from their fire.

 Enjoy, and if you aren't stuffed by the end of your meal, and you ahve
 $8 extra dollars to spend, treat yourself to their dessert sampler... It
 will take two of you to finish it, but believe me, it's definately worth
 it!!

 Yes, the Inn has opened.  I ate there during the summer with my husband
 and friends and we were quite disappointed.  We found higher prices, an
 attempt at a more "higher class" service which took a long time but very
 mediocre food.  Too bad.

 I really found the food there excellent, much better than any of the
 restaurants in town that I've been to.  Where in/around Pittsburgh is
 there a restaurant with better food?  I thought the prices were fair,
 not the best, but certainly not way overpriced for the amount and
 quality of food you get (like Cafe Azure's small portions for example).
