    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!

    The food was outstanding. I gave it an overall of 4 stars because the service was slow and inconsistent. I do plan on returning just because the food was so delicious.

    Great food in a weird environment. The place reminds me of my grandmothers sunroom. Lots of plants and small tables. Will be back for sure, decor just doesn’t match the quality of everything else.

    French onion soup was good. Caesar salad good but heavy on the dressing. Prices were a little high. Service was outstanding, very personable staff members.
