    Love The Crossing. Always an awesome dining experience. I always get the specials and wish we lived closer as we would go weekly. Now it’s every time we are in STL since 2018 usually 4-5 times a year.

    The food is outstanding, the services was excellent, and the valet saw us getting up so our car was immediately available. What a great night. The Beignets are to die for, so is the beet salad.
