Restaurants in Clayton

“So good you can't not take in the atmosphere everything is placed so meticulously the service is AMAZING and the food is to die for I will be returning with my parents”

“Haven't been back to St. Louis for awhile and knew we needed to go to The Crossing for dinner. Jim Fiala and his team hits it out of the park in every way. 3 courses paired with wine and each spot on. Last time there we brought our own wine as it was a special bottle. No problem as long as it wasn't on their list and the wine cellar is extensive. If you want an extraordinary dining experience please go.”

“THE BEST dinner we’ve had in the past three years! The cauliflower appetizer, the romaine salad, and sea bass main course were outstanding! The service was perfect, and the ambiance and decor were terrific. Congrats to Michael and his team. A+”

“I think this may be my new favorite restaurant in St. Louis. The ambience alone is absolutely beautiful, but combine that with amazing food and impeccable service and you have a winner. Best oysters I’ve ever had, and those Gruyère puffs are insanely good. I had the Bavette steak, and my husband had the chicken cordon bleu… Incredible! You cannot miss out on the drinks; the cocktails are so good and the spritz hour is a great deal. Highly recommend!”

“If you’re looking for a great cafe in Clayton, for a girls get together or birthday gathering or just want a night out for dinner. This restaurant was fabulous. The foods were delicious and the cocktails were great as well. Even the coffees they offer are amazing. The waitresses and waiters are always cheerful and on top of their presence. We always look forward to coming here. They never disappoint. Can’t wait for the music series to open back up come fall.”

“We made a reservation for our anniversary and our server was Greg. He was amazing throughout the entire evening from having our special table prepped to wine knowledge/recommendations, and provided the perfect balance of service and experience. It’s no wonder he had so many stars on his jacket 😍. We enjoyed the filet, lobster mac, brussels, and burrata heirloom tomato salad, along with simply lovely desserts.. Thank you Greg and the kitchen staff for making our night!!”

“Good food and very professional staff”

“Stop looking for the best burger in town - this is it! Best turkey burger of my life. Can't wait to come back and eat my way thru the entire menu. Super friendly staff too!”

“Fantastic dinner experience. The host was impeccable and the food was a WOW!. I recommend the sangria and carne asada, specifically. My husband loves the gin and tonic menu. Truly a special ambiance and menu. Highly recommend.”

“The atmosphere is amazing, and the flavor of the food was outstanding! My only complaint is there were too many yummy looking things to choose from, and I didn't have enough money to order the whole menu. 😭❤️😂”

“Great service and the food is amazing”

“Jinzen's Menu, atmosphere, waitresses service, and Charlie are my favorite in Clayton!!”

“I’ve come here for dinner several times. It’s great for a date night with my husband or for birthday dinner with the family. I’ve truly enjoyed everything we’ve ordered.”

“the service was amazing the waitress was very helpful and very pleasant”

“Very nice. Professional staff. Romantic tables.”

“Delicious and I feel naughty when I’m eating it too!”

“City Coffee House & Creperie is a great place to escape, the vibe is that of a hidden cafe. The food is always great, I love their lemon curd crepe, opted for the waffle this time to celebrate National Pancake Day (a waffle is just a pancake with cups to hold the syrup I’ve been told). You cannot go wrong with any selection on the board. Fresh ingredients and great staff!!”

“The food and drinks are always delicious! Josh the bar waiter is always friendly and the atmosphere is so calming!”

“Best açaí bowls ever 😭 I also love the Macaulay Bulk-in! 🩵 so delicious”

“Eating here is a must if you visit St Louis. My boyfriend and I went two days in a row. The service was amazing, the sushi is very high quality, it comes out quickly, and the cheesecake tempura is divine. 10/10”

“What a wonderful end to our day. fast friendly clean and the food was AMAZING... not to mention the drinks, stout and made right. 10/10 Love this spot.”

“I was recently in the Clayton, MO area for a work trip and decided to try this place out for lunch with a colleague since it was walking distance from my company’s corporate office… I was definitely not disappointed. The food was excellent!

The two very good things that this place gets it right with their calzones are that their crusts are just perfect (not to thick, not thin, not too bread like) and just has the right amount of cheese. A lot of places tend to over do it with the amount of cheese they stick in the calzone to the point that all you really taste is just the cheese and no longer the crust or the other fillings.

The entire staff was friendly and the service was quick. They also have a wide selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The place was also very clean which is always a very big plus. They also had a good selection of salads which I will definitely try when I’m back in the area.”

“Pizza and pasta was delicioso!”

“Fabulous eatery! Great portion sizes and delicious meals. Sharing is caring! Loved the vibe. It is an excellent place to spend a couple of hours dining with friends and family.”

“Great downtown coffee shop. Excellent selection of teas and lates. Some unique baked goods as well. It's not just your standard coffee shop, although they do have the basic espresso based drinks. Quiet place for conversation or study.”

“Dakota killed the dishes, Jessica and Eddie kept our drinks full while at the bar. Food was excellent and must stop when visiting St Louis”

“The food and service were great!”

“Great staff. Great menu. Fun time”

“Definitely the best dining area on campus. I always have excellent food and amazing service. Prices are also very reasonable for the quality (at least relative to WashU dining). I didn't get to go as often this semester, but I plan to go a lot more in the fall!”

“Nice place to stop in Clayton”

“I always am pleased with Wasabi Sushi Bar. The staff is polite and knowledgeable and the sushi is fantastic!”

“Just grabbed lunch from here & I get back to my office & see that I have three tiny pieces of avocado on my sandwich. The manager, Rory, was nice enough to walk to my office & bring me more! Thank you Rory!! :)”

“Great food. Awesome appetizers!”

“I love everything, it's super delicious and some smoothies help with the diet, they add vitamins, other energy sources, in short, healthy and very delicious.”

“We have been there MANY times since they moved (and before). They have hired multiple executive chefs. I think they can't decide upon the clientele they want to attract. A couple of visits ago, their classic Wellington (my usual since the 70's and as a kid, before) had been changed so much I have vowed to never order it again. The meat, the sauce, the contents of the sauce, and the shell were ALL no longer classic. We were there again on 19-Sept-25 to hear a friend play guitar... as we always do. The dressing on the Ceaser Salad was on the cusp of uneatable. Fiends at two OTHER tables (there were a bunch of us) also found the salads they got as not acceptable. This is strange since over the years I have eaten perhaps over 50 such salads with nary a complaint. I might also add that removing the two little private rooms has changed our brunch options. We have been regular brunch customers since before the name Herbie's got employed (and then a move). And before the Wellington disaster, we were regular Wedding/Birthday celebration customers. Shame on BOTH accounts.”

“The All American Cheese Burger, was awesome”
