    We ate there at lunch for our 48th anniversary planning to go to a Cardinal game that evening. Excellent. We both had the lunch special which was a Halibut fillet pan seared over roasted vegetables over whipped potatoes with a lemon beurre blanc sauce. I wanted to lick my plate. Gelato and beignets for dessert. We had a wonderful bottle of Sancerre. Several tables, some obviously business guys. Wonderful decor, great service, fantastic lunch. We come to St. Louis usually once a year from Alabama, the Crossing is an essential stop on our trips.

    The Crossing is the best restaurant in St. Louis. We had a customer group in town for meetings, some from NY and some from ATL. They loved our dinner together at The Crossing, one said, "I'd put this restaurant up against any in NYC". The food and service are always great. The wine list is deep and full of fun gems. If you haven't been, you're missing out. A must visit in St. Louis!
