This was Valetine's Day and they were well prepped to service a largenumber of people. We made a reservation well in advance and asked to be seated in the "rear area" separated from the bar area -- which is usually quieter. We eat there about 2-3 times each year, for apecial occasions like a birthday, anniversary, etc. The food is always excellent They had their full menu available on Valentines Day, with a couple of special items added. Our waiter was very attentive without hovering -and was very friendly. We went with the 4-course tasting menu. We highly recommend the beet salad and the egg raviolo for the first two courses. The homemade pastas are also great. With one quartino of white wine and iced tea, our total for the evening was about $215 a couple of "upgrades" in the tasting menu and including tip. It's a bit of a pricy place, but well worth it for a treat!

I think our servers name was Lee. He was so kind and attentive. We never felt rushed. The atmosphere was perfect. We wanted to go out but be somewhere not too loud and this was PERFECT! Every thing we has was so delicious but that RED VELVET BREAD PUDDING!! I hope that is on the menu more than just for Valentine’s Day! We will be back sooner than later!

Excellent dinner. Ordered the Halibut. I would not order the poached pear salad again though. It had no flavor and pecans were burnt. The halibut made up for the interesting poached pear salad. My husband had the spicy shrimp pasta special. He said it was great, bursting with flavor except they left the tails on shrimp. He had to pick through and take tails off with every bite that included shrimp.

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.
