    Excellent lunch and service: I departed from my usual order of Bill’s salad, which I love, instead ordering a turkey sandwich that was also very delicious. My friend also very much enjoyed her meal as well. Simone, our waitress, did a great job. Ya Ya’s always pleases!

    Best place in St Louis for a business lunch. They still had morels so I got the tagliolini with them on it. It was a very generous portion so I had the rest today. My companion and I had an excellent lunch while we planned the presentation we are giving in a couple of weeks. Well done Crossing!
