    We had a very good experience last evening at The Crossing, our first visit. Our waitstaff was attentive and very friendly. The food and wine were excellent. It is a bit noisy (we arrived ~ 7:30pm); I’m guessing that it is quieter later. We shall return. md

    Not inexpensive but a tremendous value because everything they do is top-notch without being pretentious or stuffy. The Crossing has long been on my short list of the best restaurants in St. Louis, but over the last few years it has really separated itself from the pack in my opinion and pretty much stands alone at this point, at least for what I'm looking for. Keep up the fantastic work!

    Chef Jim and Douglas are true hospitality people. No wonder this has been a staple of the area for nearly three decades.

    Celebrated our anniversary at the Crossing again - greeted with a special card on our table. Cheese souffle starter always great as was our Maryland Crabcake appetizer. Walleye and Corvina fish entrees were excellent and prepared perfectly. Brut Rose bubbles, a nice Chassagne-Montrachet with dessert beignets and port to round out abother perfect meal. Will definitely be back!

    We had a wonderful lunch at The Crossing. The pasta was excellent, perfect texture, lovely flavor. The trout was perfectly prepared, crisp skin, light lemon butter sauce. The wines by the glass program is excellent, with very well chosen, affordable wines. The best part of our experience was our server, who is also the manager.
