My wife and I were fortunate enough to be invited to a party here. Several course were served, including a cold asparagus, a beet salad, beef tenderloin or tilapia, pasta Bolognese, molten chocolate cake with ice cream. Everything was delicious! Very expensive, but superb, great for a romantic dinner or a celebration.

The Crossing in Clayton is an outstanding restaurant. After reading the reviews, we made reservations and drove over four hours to have dinner on a Saturday evening at The Crossing. The food, wine, service, and attention to detail were exceptional! We arrived early and were the first there that evening. Chef and Owner Jim was at the Hostess table speaking... More

It was nice to come to the US and enjoy an excellent meal with just the right quantity to go home satisfied, but not excessively full. The variety and quality of food plus the nice setting made for a very nice dinner after a long day of traveling. Definitely worth going to if you enjoy fine food and wine in... More

The Crossing in Clayton Missouri is a very nice upscale resturant with great food and very nice service. The prices are not too high but it is a nicer place. It is small enough and quiet enough to offer a feeling of intimacy so a great place to take your significant other for a very nice evening out.

Forget what anyone else tells you...if they know St. Louis and they know food, they should already know that the food here shines brighter than any former 5 star family owned restaurant downtown. Chef/owner Jim Fiala is a genius, and this has become our go-to place when we have a special occasion or just feel like having a fantastic meal.... More

Six of us enjoyed an outstanding meal, with a reasonably priced winelist - and about 25 different Pinots to choose from. Our waiter was knowledgeable, helpful and added to our enjoyment of the meal - made excellent recommendations.

My wife and I had dinner here last evening - it was our second trip to the restaurant. We had reservations. Overall the food was great but the waiters were obviously stretched too thin for the crowded restaurant. We sat down and were given a wine list - and after 10 minutes - the waiter came by to talk about... More

We opted for the Premiere tasting menu and wine flight this time. I went with salad, pasta, and beef tenderloin courses. The egg raviolo was presented well and had a creamy texture, but no distinctive flavor. Good, not interesting. The beef was perfect. Seared on the outside, near rare inside, with an excellent red wine reduction sauce around it. Deserts... More

Today (12/27/2012) was the first time I ever ate here, but it won't be the last. First thing I want to mention is they have complimentary valet parking which I love since I am not a street parking kind of person. That kind of touch shows me they care about their customers. When you walk in the place has a... More

This is an excellent restaurant with smallish portions, rather high prices, and a pleasant atmosphere.
