The Crossing: Reviews & Ratings
Had a wonderful lunch at The Crossing in Clayton. The cheesy focaccia bread? Absolute sin—so good! I went with the halibut special, and let me tell you, it’s #stlouispescatarianapproved. Perfectly cooked, tender, and just the right portion size. The service was top-notch—super attentive without being overbearing. The place has a classy vibe with white tablecloths and a beautiful bar. Bonus: easy street parking! Perfect for a casual but elevated lunch experience. Definitely worth a visit!
Thank you for your hospitality and wonderful service. I was having a hard time of reservation on an opentable website for my second visit. Restaurant manager make it posible for me. First time I'm making my own buffet and the second time, Joseph has been awesome with the chill soup wich is I didn't like,and he wants to make his customers satisfaction by offering me an Octopus dish! The food portion is very acceptable for your stomach from appetizers to dessert.
I cannot even put my dining experience into words. Josh took excellent care of us. He was so knowledgeable about the wine and food. The atmosphere is so classic. What a hidden gem of St. Louis! I didn't even feel like I was dining in St. Louis. My hangar steak was prepared to perfection and the fried apple pie was so scrumptious. I will return, I will eat more than I did last night! The owner Jimmy came by to see how everything was as well. Superb!
This place is amazing. Everything from the food to the wine to the dessert to the service was absolutely top notch. Can't wait to come back! Shocking to find such a gem in an unassuming space!
This experience is in the top five best meals I've ever had. We tried the tasting menu and it did not disappoint. Every single item brought to our table was delicious and beautifully plated. Try the 100 years of port as well, so delicious. Great espresso, lovely atmosphere and fantastic service. This is what fine dining is and they execute it so well. The blue cheese souffle is to die for as well.
First-time visit and very pleased. The food was delicious. As someone born in the Czech Republic, I was pleasantly surprised to see Czech wine on the drink menu.
One of the very best dining experiences I’ve ever had! We enjoyed the 8 course tasting menu with wine pairing and every single course was full of flavor and unique in some way. It was our first time eating here, so it was such a great way to try many of their menu favorites. And I loved that they didn’t bring us both the same thing for each course, allowing us to try even more! The wines were paired perfectly, too. Our server was also fantastic. Can’t wait to eat here again!
What an outstanding place! Every single thing about our experience was top-notch. The atmosphere was phenomenal, the service fantastic, and the food was some of the best I've ever had in my entire life. Jim, the chef, is incredibly creative and detail oriented. His personal touch really transforms the amazing ingredients he uses to next level (including the 4Health Farms local wagyu beef). Having eaten at some of the best restaurants all over the world, I am not exaggerating when I say this is one of the best meals I've ever had.
