Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Des Peres

Excellent food and service. The martini we had only filled 3/4s of the glasses. We felt a little short-changed on the drinks. However, the glasses of Chardonay we had were excellent. We had the mussels, the Mayfair salad, and the Linguine Vongole (linguini and clams). The mussels in a creams sauce were excellent as there was only one unopened mussel. The three pieces of toast for dipping in the sauce was a good way to enjoy the sauce once the mussels were gone. The waiter and busing staff were friendly and professional. All in all, a very good Valentines Day celebration.

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!

Always perfection. We take our well-mannered five year old and they are so welcoming and kind to kids. The best mix of everything you want: fantastic food and drinks, gorgeous setting, warm and sophisticated but chill vibe.

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.

Loved the atmosphere right when i walked in. We were seated right when we walked in to a booth , very cozy. Our waiter suggested the midnight berry martini which i give a 10/10. I had the cheese curds which you can’t go wrong with , and the cheesesteak dip to top it off. Honestly the food was amazing and drinks were perfect , definitely coming back !
