Best Restaurants for Anniversaries 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.

Valentines Day lunch for two. Food was excellent and the service (Spiro - our culinary guide) was exceptional. We had Calamari for an appetizer Then, we each had a salad…one lobster and the other tenderloin. Dessert - was cheesecake. We made future reservation for dinner before we left. Very happy.

We had a great time and the food was outstanding! I had the Ribeye and my wife had the Salmon, all done to perfection. The service was terrific and the room was very comforting. We will be back!

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.
