I recommend the pear cocktail and manhattan winter. W enjoyed the French on Mon soup, beet salad, penne with mushrooms, schnitzel sandwich, and classic creme bruise.“

“The Crossing Restaurant did a remarkable job the other evening when we dined there. We had impeccable service and outstanding food. I loved being able to do the four course meal with some of the specials. It was wonderful to see the dining room full in this well-established restaurant in the heart of Clayton. I remember being wowwed when I first dined at The Crossing 25 years ago and it is still just as fabulous! We cannot wait to return.“

“Great food and great people!!“

“I visited the Ferguson location today w a friend who will be moving away from STL shortly. We were both first time visitors. Cathy was cooking and the food was amazing. My friend had the Friday Special (catfish, shrimp, and wings) while I chose the Thursday special of wings and shrimp. Both dishes were perfectly executed, tasty, and not at all oily. 10/10. Please support this small business.“

“What a great experience. Our server was so great. And the food...... We started off with potstickers and they were spot on. The Caesar salad was very good (but it was a Caesar salad, so not too hard to get right). My tuna was cooked to perfection and had the most amazing seasoning. My wife was crazy about her Grilled Chicken Pasta. There was too much for her to eat, so we took it home and out son raved about how good it was. The warm gooey butter cake for dessert was sinful. We each had a couple adult drinks and they were excellent and pretty potent, definately not watered down. It was quiet and the lighting was, what I would call classy. Not bright, but not dark. We will 100% be coming back.“

“the snackers are the best, hands down!“

She was great and did an excellent job on the drinks. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area to try the entrées. We had the goat cheese appetizer on our visit. It was delicious!“

“This was me and my sister's first time eating here. The food was great the waitress was wonderful she took care of us very well. I got two catfish and fries with okra with a side of mac & Cheese. The only thing that I did not care for was the mac and cheese. It did not satisfy my taste buds. But everything else was immaculate. I even enjoyed the ice tea. Great place to go if you want to watch the games and enjoy a good meal.“

“Truly the best! I come here every Friday for lunch. I try to get something different every time and they never disappoint! The staff is always so nice, the food is fresh and it’s the best burger I’ve had. Bonus points - my pups loooooove their bones from Paul’s!“

“The best eggs Benedict I have ever had! Muffins toasted perfectly, eggs done perfectly, delicious hollandaise, the most crispy & meaty ham/bacon ever... all served warm from a smiling server! The waitress was so sweet and accommodating with our family including our daughter and two young grandchildren. The hostess who seated us was so friendly. So, from beginning to end we had a wonderful experience! Thank you all so much!“

“Blueberry Hill is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is vibrant and full of character, making it the perfect spot to hang out with friends or enjoy a night out. The staff are fantastic—friendly, attentive, and always ready to make your experience special. Their food and drinks are top-notch, bursting with flavor and made fresh. What really makes Blueberry Hill stand out is its unique and eclectic decor—you can explore the really cool Duck Room, admire walls filled with everything from sports memorabilia to Spice Girl dolls, and even check out a Pac-Man room! The mix of history, fun, and quirky details creates an experience unlike anywhere else in St. Louis. Plus, the prices are very reasonable for the quality and vibe you get here. If you want a spot that’s both fun and authentic, Blueberry Hill is where you need to be. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Our waitress was friendly but a bit overworked. The Italian Wedding soup was horrible. No flavor, no Italian sausage and full of barley. The roast beef sandwich was good but had wilted greens on it and we didn’t like that. The ham and cheese sandwich was good. The atmosphere was a bit noisy.“

“Totally awesome endless melody of flavor ?????“

“An FYI for St Louis area friends. We had brunch at Eclipse (Moonrise Hotel) and the food prep was excellent! It's a shame that we were the first people they had today; they opened at 9am and we arrived at noon. 😬 Give them a try!“
