The Crossing

Beet Salad, a signature item at The Crossing. This wickedly delicious salad is adorned with goat cheese, pine nuts, sherry, and pesto.

The Crossing nestles snuggly among the shops and skyscrapers of Clayton—a quiet haven for those in search of both sustenance and serenity.
It’s left to the modern art hanging within the booths to brighten the dark wood interior, while an attractively designed wine rack separates the bar level from the main dining room

Yes, there’s a charm and understated elegance here. Owner/executive chef Jim Fiala has been serving up French-Italian inspired cuisine for more than 20 years, doing it with panache, but without being overly fussy about things.

With Gusto!
