    Yet another great dining experience at Spiro’s! Our table was ready right when our reservation was scheduled, the service (especially our waitress Sabrina) was fantastic and the food & drinks were delicious. Additionally, as my party was there celebrating two birthdays, we got to choose two complimentary desserts at the end of the meal. Overall, it was a very enjoyable evening- Spiro’s delivered as it always does!

    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.
