    The Crossing continues to be an excellent choice for fine dining in St. Louis. The food and service are excellent. The night we were there it was somewhat noisier than past visits due to several large tables of men some of whom spoke and laughed loudly throughout the evening. When they left it was pleasant. I think the British are right when they say Americans do not know how to speak quietly at the dinner table.

    Delicious lunch options! Enjoyed a beet salad and salmon. Wasn’t going to have dessert, but, twist my arm, and fully enjoyed a lemony crème brûlée.

    What a perfect lunch. Small beet salad off the tasting menu for starters, followed by two magnificent pasta dishes. She enjoyed the Torchio pasta with tomatoes, pesto and crispy prosciutto while I went to heaven on the Strozzapreti ragu alla bolognese. To die for!! Warm chocolate torte and pumpkin cheesecake and next thing you know old Jed’s a millionaire. Best lunch in forever. Service was attentive and the team went above and beyond. Can’t wait to get back here.
