Best Seasonal Restaurants in Crestview

Perfect place for a fun evening! Staff is amazing and sweet. Food was amazing and delicious

First time visiting VERDAD, I had left a note that it was my girlfriend and I’s anniversary. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a table that had a rose petal heart decorated on it. Multiple managers and other staff members went out of their way to congratulate us and ensure we were enjoying our service. We ordered the fajitas for two and it was genuinely one of the best fajita dishes I’ve had in my life. Drinks are amazing, service is excellent, and noise isn’t bad whatsoever due to the openness of the dining area. Overall wonderful experience!

Park in the Blue Parking garage, which is the closest. The reservation was easy to make; I had to change it twice and doing that was no trouble. The seating staff was only off by about 5 minutes, which wasn't much; the waiter was friendly and immediately at the table. We had heard raves about the pork chop special and those rants were not exaggerated. I'm telling you, that was the best meat of any variety that I have had this year! Oh my goodness, it was huge, maybe 4" x 4 " square, with a sweet, caramelized brown on the sides, applesauce that was a terrific dipping sauce, and the most tender meat you could imagine. Yum yum, I can still taste it. Ya gotta go!

What a great night for dinner with our friends who haven't been here before! The four of us had a relaxing meal with exceptional service, and the food was cooked as ordered. The bill did NOT break the bank; very good pricing with so many options to choose from. My friends said they would be back very soon.

Our dinner last night was so lovely. We're parents of a toddler so we don't get out much. We had a babysitter and decided to use a gift card for one of our past favorite restaurants. Everything was absolutely delicious. We started with the rosemary sourdough bread with butter, escarole and Frisee salad, and Polpette meatballs. The bread has a great flavor and good texture. Every aspect of the salad was incredible - the dressing, the grapefruit, the honey Aleppo almonds. And the Polpette were some of the best meatballs I've tried. We really enjoyed the chicken milanesa and the black pepper Pappardelle dish had amazing texture (all their pastas are made in-house) but I feel could have had a more interesting flavor. I had really wanted to try the Tiramisu, one of my favorite desserts, but we were so stuffed. All the wine and cocktails were tasty. We sat on the patio since we wanted to order off the A la carte menu but it was so quiet and dead outside. Some music or something piped outside might have been nice. We used to frequent L'Oca d'Oro before the pandemic and before having kids, but we hadn't been back since Fall 2019. I was happy to see the ways in which the restaurant pivoted during the pandemic and all that they have done to care for their employees, very admirable. Overall, we really loved our meal and we will happily be back!
